About Me

I’m a Certified NLP Practitioner and Coach with nearly two decades of corporate experience in multinational organisations. My background in business development, project management, and sales gives me a deep understanding of complex environments and the challenges of personal growth within them.

I’m also a mum to a young boy, which means I deeply understand the juggle between ambition and family life. I bring empathy, flexibility, and real-world insight to my coaching—especially for those navigating career growth while raising children.

NLP transformed my life. By becoming aware of how my thoughts and language shaped my reality, I was able to make powerful shifts—and now I help others do the same.

I combine Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Somatic Coaching, and Mindfulness to help individuals and organisations unlock their full potential.

What people say about working with me? 

"Working with Marlena has been nothing short of transformative. When I first sought her guidance, my self-confidence was so diminished that even sitting alone in a café felt daunting. Today, I embody healthy boundaries, unwavering self-respect, and a deep, abiding sense of self-love. I have quit smoking, I am also preparing to submit my book to publishers, and I’ve embarked on a new journey to become a women’s empowerment coach. 
Marlena’s coaching is truly exceptional – insightful, compassionate, and profoundly impactful. I am immensely grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone committed to elevating their life. "

Lee-Anne

"Working with Marlena has helped me in so many ways in terms of confidence and motivation, but for me the most valuable part was the opportunity to gain a different perspective on things from someone removed from the situation and completely non-judgemental. Coaching is something that anyone can benefit from, regardless of their situation or goals, and I would highly recommend Marlena for her professionalism and kindness."

Francesca

'I made the decision to work with Marlena after a particularly stressful day when I'd decided once and for all I needed to take control of my life. I've read and listened to endless self help material over the years and worked with therapists but never truly felt in control of my life for a consistent period of time. 

I can truly say that working with Marlena was one of the best investments I could of made for myself and I feel like a different person after only two months. Not only have there been external results but due to my change in thinking I feel like I can face any challenge in any area of my life now.

Marlena is worth every penny (and more) and I've recommended her to many of my friends and family already"

Lauren 

‘I would recommend Marlena as a coach, an NLP practitioner, a supportive ear and everything in between. I started off with 6 sessions, looking for some clear, concise professional advice to get life and my career back on track. With Marlena’s inquisitive, non-judgmental, pragmatic and clearly very well thought through sessions she was able to establish very quickly the right development plan for me. Marlena’s style is not one size fits all and she was incredible at taking the time to look to the core and root of the issue or set back before deciding the best way forward. The key practises that Marlena has taught me has had a profound effect on how I now approach life both professionally and personally and I couldn’t recommend more highly. Marlena has a unique balance of calmness yet with a genuine determination to help people, and the sessions feel very authentic to you as an individual. I extended the initial 6 sessions and now have a 3 month programme under my belt and I couldn’t thank her more. For development needs in every aspect of life, I whole heartedly recommend’.  

Kate

Marlena has been a fantastic coach enabling me to become more self-aware of my career drivers to enable me to make clear decisions in my career journey. As a creative, using NLP methods has been a great tool to broaden my perspective both for work and personal related subjects.

I would highly recommend Marlena.

Jack

Marlena helped me with getting clarify on what I really wanted in life and how to go after it. I have struggled with low self – esteem for years but by working with Marlena, I have been able to unpick what was really behind it and how to tackle it. Now I know how to deal with my inner critic and have access to techniques which I never knew existed. These sessions have really transformed my life and I have since I got a promotion and moved house (which I never thought I would be able to do by myself!). 

Amy

'I have worked with Marlena for a few sessions so far so she can help me set boundaries with family and friends. This is something I have struggled with for most of my life, always being a people pleaser, my own needs always coming last. Working with Marlena has help me identify how I want to be and be seen as an individual. We have identified the relationships I want to work on and Marlena has given me the strength and the tools to start to set healthy boundaries that I am comfortable with. I look forward to continuing to work with her as my confidence builds'. 

Kristen

I would highly recommend training with Marlena to anyone who would like to develop themselves and achieve their goals.”
