About Marina
Midlife became my best opportunity to a happier place.
I now found my passion in helping women flourish now and into the future and make their midlife the most fulfilling phase of their life.
Hi, I’m Marina
Your Certified Mindset Coach, born in the US but happily living in Switzerland for the past 30 years.
So, what made me become a midlife coach?
I was having the best time of my life in my 20 and 40’s. Studying languages and working for a fantastic and renowned watchmaking manufacturer in Geneva.
I was living deep relationships, experiencing adventure while travelling to beautiful countries, experiencing bliss but also hardships of being an “older” mother of a son and daughter.
Then, without really seeing it coming, I hit 50!
What!?! What happened?
Where did all those years go?
I felt younger than my age and totally in control of my life for the longest time, right up until I suddenly didn’t.
I didn’t want to admit it but I was feeling stuck by what I now call the Mid-Life Blues. My body and mind started going quirky.
Suddenly, I didn’t quite recognize myself. Things had changed making me feel invisible to the outside world and within my relationships. I felt confused. And I’d lost a sense of purpose.
At that time, I felt there was a lack of support for women like me.
No safe space to explore feelings and what is wanted for the next season of life.
I decided to embark on a mindset coaching certification as another option to therapy. That was the best solution to my challenges as it not only made me much happier but it served another purpose.
I created Coaching Effect, a safe space to accompany women through their Mid-Life Blues and all the unexpected positive or negative challenges it throws its way.
It may sometimes feel like a dead-end, but I’m here to reassure you that it really is just the beginning of what could be the best time of your life. Now is the time for you!
I’m here to reassure you that it really is just the beginning of what could be the best time of your life.
Take time for you. Invest in you.
You deserve to make room for your needs and interests.
Your life will bloom.
What Mindset Coaching Did for Me
Mindset coaching helped me find words to my frustrations and also deal better with those typical midlife challenges and menopause symptoms. I began to map out a practical plan, learned how to work on my conscious and unconscious mindset, and modify beliefs, values, or habits which were no longer helping me.
The image of my world opened up and my inner-critic calmed down dramatically. I saw more possibilities out there and experienced more self-confidence.
All this eventually led me to a much happier life. One where I wanted to be and where I am today.
Thanks to a change of mindset, I am living the a life I always dreamed of.
I now support women just like you, who are experiencing challenging midlife journeys.
Using a proved and certified Mindset coaching approach, I will support you through your midlife challenge and unravel what is holding you back so that you can finally lead a dream life that works for you.
Would you like to feel more in control of your life and use your Midlife Blues as a stepping stone to create a life you dreamed of? If so, give me a dial and we can have a chat to see how I can help you.
