Ingrid

Yesterday’s call with you was a blessing, especially as it was a bit unexpected. Unexpected as I had not anticipated being so much on the same wavelength as you. I have already made progress on my initial plans and I have heard the bit about elevating joy to the top of my decision making. Thank you.


Jodie

I reached out to Dina when I was at a major cross roads in my career. After working for a global corporate company for 16 years, I knew it was time for a change. I just didn’t know what that change was and Dina helped me to achieve this. I owe Dina a massive thank you for not only helping me to embrace how I was feeling to enable me to leave my previous role, but from what started as a hobby initially, has now lead me to an opportunity to become my own boss, which when I talk to family/friends about, all rave about how perfect it is for me. THANK YOU Dina. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dina to anyone who wants to establish a clear route ahead in their career, whatever the circumstances.


Caroline

Dina is a wonderful coach. She's a great listener, asks the right questions and is highly intuitive. I initially started seeing Dina to improve my confidence but it soon became clear that I was at a cross-roads in my career (and life) and I needed guidance and support around making some major decisions. Dina helped me tap into my inner wisdom and create a life for myself where I truly live my values and my passions... Dina also helped me with very concrete action plans including dates to hold me accountable. This combination of specific actions (however small) to move me forward combined with her wise, intuitive guidance is what makes Dina stand out as a coach. Thank you!


Elise

Dina’s career coaching workshop is incredibly empowering as it enabled me to dig deeper and reawaken my true passions, and also created practical steps that will bring me closer to actualising my dream job - thank you Dina that I am now much closer to knowing what that dream job is for me! It was also my first experience of Reiki and it’s powerful healing energy in action.


Lisa

I did an AMAZING career session with Dina. I have had many mentors, life coaches and career sessions over the years, and I can genuinely say Dina is the only one who has managed to help me think differently. If you have any friends who are furloughed and using this time to think about their career, I'd really recommend time with Dina.


Jenny

I decided to have career change coaching with Dina after many years of feeling stuck in a profession (of which I’d been part of for 20 years) I felt trapped and unhappy but did not know what I wanted to do instead. The process was challenging and amazing in equal measures. I am in no doubt that it was totally worth it! I now have a focus and direction that is taking me on a new career path with a confidence that this is something I can achieve.  I would highly recommend career change coaching with Dina! 


Pelágia

I used to work at a top London university managing a busy Institute in Arts & Humanities. I had been given Reiki by Dina the year before and at the that time it had helped me a lot, so I decided to try a coaching session with her. I did not know much about what coaching would imply but in that one session, I came out with a couple of actions that stayed with me for a very long time.

I then decided to take more sessions with Dina as at that time I decided I wanted to leave my job. I had been feeling unhappy for some time, drained of energy and no longer enjoying what I was doing. I had been there right from the birth of the Institute, it was my ‘baby’ and I had poured a lot of myself and energy in it. However, my energy was dwindling and I wanted to be able to use it in something I truly loved doing. Earlier that year, I had trained as a Reiki Practitioner at Level II, as a Nia Technique teacher and I also had started creating loads and loads of art work. My creativity was exploding and I wanted to be able to have more time to explore it and express it.

Deciding to quit such a job was a big, big deal. I was filled with fear and indecision. Having the coaching sessions with Dina, I worked on concrete ideas of what steps I needed to make for moving forward with this decision. I put together a plan of how I could carry on financially doing the things I love. I felt empowered, encouraged and held by Dina during the sessions and it made an impact in my life.

A month after the last session, I presented my resignation letter at work. I also realised that an important part of starting my own business was the need to take care of myself and rest. So, I am now spending 8 months in Thailand where I hope to have time to rest and recover, as well as slowly set up my business and put in action all the ideas I have for it.

I would highly recommend working with Dina, she is sensitive, caring, intuitive and super supportive. I found her coaching style to be empowering and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her.

 


Sophie

I came to Dina in order to find out what I wanted to do next as a career. I felt quite stuck where I was, not pursuing a true purpose, I had several interests but I did not know where to start from.

Dina guided me so I could start, connect with myself, take a step forward, and explore my interests. Our sessions were very open, structured with great guidance. There was enough time to reflect and discuss. My feelings and thoughts were challenged in a very caring and professional way.

I have been able to eliminate some options that I was convinced were for me. Once you start exploring, you are able to close doors and look at more options/alternatives. I attended courses and/or workshops, connected with more people. We did not only focus on my career, but looked at other areas of my life.

Dina has helped me to focus, take actions and discover again. I understand the structure and feel more confident moving forwards.

Thank you Dina, Looking forward to working with you again.


Carmen

As I was approaching the end of my maternity leave after having my second child, Dina’s coaching sessions was exactly the boost that I needed at the time of my life when I am trying to spend more time with my young children and be the best mum I can be, whilst trying to develop a successful and fulfilling career of my own.

During the coaching sessions, I have learned various tools such as time management, and prioritising the most important values in life which has revolutionised the way I work.

The meetings are always a calm oasis for me to reflect and I always come out of our meetings feeling excited and buzzing with ideas.

I highly recommend Dina’s coaching which provided me with plenty of tools to pave my life for the future and realise my goals in life.


Nicola

For a long time I had been thinking, researching and talking about changing my career but had never quite been able to take the leap into really doing something about it. I was unclear about what I wanted to do and had numerous ideas that were all quite different! 

I have a wonderful family and friends who I often shared my thoughts with, however I knew I needed to work through this with someone who was unbiased yet supportive in order to gain some clarity and this was when I found Dina! 

Dina helped me gain the clarity and confidence I had been looking for to take the path I really wanted to follow and not the one I thought I should follow - big difference!! Through the sessions with Dina I have now taken the leap and enrolled on a coaching course which I feel without those sessions I could have still been going round in circles with numerous ideas but no real plan and still having the feeling something needed to change. 

Dina is a wonderful, genuine person who holds you accountable but has a warmth that allows you speak freely and openly to help unlock any current barriers you might be finding difficult to get through. It's a very empowering process and journey which I'm so glad I've taken myself on!
