"I discovered the magic already deep within me."
Tash Morgan-Etty
Copywriter & Brand Strategist
Margarita doesn't wave a magic wand and make your problems disappear, but she is a magician in the sense that she helps you to discover the magic already lying deep within you.
It's a magic that recognises, heals and empowers from the inside out... and this doesn't just happen by the time you finish her programme, but in every single session!"

"Margarita created a bespoke 1:1 wellbeing coaching programme for me. We covered topics such as money mindset and post-trauma fear and anxiety release.
She guided me in connecting with significant aspects of my inner emotional world and, through those, helped me to see my situation in a very different and positive new light. Essentially she helped me to help myself.

"I credit Margarita with bringing me back to life!"
Alannah
"I was experiencing a period of significant change with the break-up of a long-term relationship and questions around what that meant for me in terms of the life I wanted moving forward.
I was hoping for some support during this process to ease the emotional burden and help me to make clearer decisions that were aligned with my values.
In many ways, I credit Margarita with bringing me back to life!"

"Margarita was exactly who I needed when I was going through a break-up and a period of significant change. She is warm, non-judgemental and ensures sessions are guided by you and your needs.
In many ways, I credit her with bringing me back to life!
She helped me recognise my autonomy and foster a stronger and more confident sense of self. She also helped me to better understand and process some of my thought patterns and emotional responses.
I would recommend her to anyone that is feeling a bit shaky in who they are and what they want."

Alexander Fox
Teacher and Dancer
Margarita helped me through one of the worst moments of my life. Talking with Margarita was something I looked forward to each week as with her help I started being able to pull myself up out of the black hole I found myself in.
Whilst having coaching with Margarita, I've been in two short term relationships that have taught me a lot about myself and that definitely wouldn't have happened without Margarita's prior support. During these relationships our attention turned to how to keep an enjoyable atmosphere and learning how to pace a relationship."

"Margarita helped me through one of the worst moments of my life. My girlfriend of nearly 4 years decided she no longer wanted to be with me and then the Coronavirus hit. Depression and isolation are not a good combination.
Talking with Margarita was something I looked forward to each week as with her help I started being able to pull myself up out of the black hole I found myself in.
A lot of our work together was based on what I wanted out of relationships and how to find people who are looking for the same thing. We worked a lot on showing up to life and the things it throws your way.
One of the results of my work with Margarita was that I started going to a salsa evening that my dance group put on every week. I ended up meeting lots of interesting new people that I would never have met, I also enjoyed myself and added a bit of joy back into my life, as well as finding out that I actually enjoyed bachata.
One of the other things we worked on was rejection. I used to feel rejected every time that someone wouldn't respond in a favourable way to me. With Margarita, I was able to learn that there are things that I can control, things that I can't and that maybe the rejection has nothing to do with me and that maybe they are just as scared. Although I haven't learnt the secret to never feeling rejected, I doubt one even exists, the tools that Margarita has equipped me with allow me to view it from an objective point of view and to find my own healthy way to deal with rejection.
Whilst having coaching with Margarita, I've been in 2 short term relationships that have taught me a lot about myself and that definitely wouldn't have happened without Margarita's prior support. During these relationships our attention turned to how to keep an enjoyable atmosphere and learning how to pace a relationship.

"I am delighted to share the incredible influence Margarita's coaching has had on my personal growth.
Through our conversations and follow-up messages, Margarita has supported me in transforming my mindset towards daring to succeed and pursue my self-created career. She has a unique ability to inspire belief in one's own knowledge, skills and capacity, instilling in me the courage to take bold steps towards my dreams.
Margarita's guidance was instrumental in helping me uncover my true aspirations and desires. She called upon frameworks and exercises such as 'The Seven Why's", skilfully leading me through a process of introspection which has enabled me to feel and articulate what I really want and align my goals accordingly.
One of the most significant transformations Margarita facilitated was my perception of self-worth. I used to undervalue my work and time, believing I should make myself as cheap as possible for others. However, through Margarita's coaching, I learned to value my skills and expertise, and reframe a 'high price' as fair compensation for my efforts.
Margarita's coaching delved into my inner world. She helped me identify and shed light upon some limiting beliefs rooted in life experiences and events. Together, we carefully examined these stories and then empowered me to craft new narratives that aligned with the life I desired.
Margarita's emphasis on visualisation was a game-changer for me. It's common to become stuck in knowing what we don't want, but Margarita stressed the importance of spending time vividly imagining and feeling the most positive outcomes I could possibly visualise - hat does it look like when you are where you want to be; what does your daily life look like there; can it be even bigger and better still? This practice opened a realm of possibilities for me, and I finally started to take pleasure in playing a more active role in creating my own life.
Thanks to Margarita's steady support and insight, I am delighted to share that I have secured an art grant that I applied for. This grant will support me in a year of development work that will forge the fulfilling career I envision.
I can confidently say that Margarita' coaching has been transformative in my life. Her incisive yet caring approach, underpinning by profound wisdom, has made all the difference in my personal and professional journey. I am deeply grateful for her belief in me and for helping me become the person I am today.
If you are looking to unlock your potential, overcome barriers, and create a fulfilling life and career, I wholeheartedly recommend Margarita as a coach and mentor. Her expertise and genuine passion for empowering others will undoubtedly propel you towards success and self-discovery.
Thank you, Margarita, for everything you've done for me. I am enormously grateful for the positive impact you've had on my life."

"I always came out of my coaching sessions glowing and feeling empowered."
Lauren Burrows
"In social settings, I do not even think about my insecurities anymore. My inner critic voice has been wiped from my mind. Instead of thinking about what others are thinking of me, I own my quietness or my questions or my interaction.
If I am quiet, it's because I am listening carefully. If I am louder, it is because I have something valuable to say, not because the space needs filling."

Q: Lauren, what motivated you to consider coaching?
"Having lived abroad for a number of years, where life was intense and rich with new experiences, returning to the UK I was faced with a slower pace of life and confronted with the idea that I needed to meet new people.
It was a confusing time of addressing what I wanted to do with my life, whether I was making the right choices, how to be a confident and outgoing individual again in my home country.
I felt my inner critic was taking over my mind in social settings, I became way too acutely aware of what other people would think of me. Walking into a bar on my own wasn't something I ever wanted to do. Furthermore, I was conscious that I was stepping up into a managerial role at work, and as a quite shy individual, I needed to find the confidence to contribute at this higher level."
Q: Had you already tried anything to help with those issues?
"I had talked to my friends, who were always incredibly supportive, but nothing beyond that."
Q: Did you have any misgivings or concerns when you were considering coaching with me?
"In all honesty, I just wasn't sure if coaching with a psychology slant was for me.
What would I get out of it? Did I really need to dig deep into my feelings or were they simply trivial everyday problems that did not require professional guidance?
Not once did this misgiving appear throughout the time you were coaching me, and actually, the deep dive into my feelings revealed a lot more than I had expected."
Q: What convinced you to go ahead to coach with me?
"You were recommended to me by a friend. The energy in his voice, the way he described how he felt afterwards was captivating and enlightening. I felt that I wanted to also be like that."
Q: What has changed for you as a result of our coaching work together?
"In social settings, I do not even think about my insecurities anymore. My inner critic voice has been wiped from my mind. Instead of thinking about what others are thinking of me, I own my quietness or my questions or my interaction. If I am quiet, it's because I am listening carefully. If I am louder, it is because I have something valuable to say, not because the space needs filling.
None of the social settings as before hold me back now, I can confidently walk into anywhere on my own. I can confidently talk to strangers around me anywhere I go. I feel like the person I have become is stronger and whilst there will always be low moments, that active part of my life remains like I never had any insecurities there.
I always came out of my coaching sessions glowing and feeling empowered. I cannot thank you enough for that feeling and how it extended into my life."

"I haven't felt this much at ease, self-confident and grounded in years."

The guidance I've received from Margarita has been positively life-changing. After each session I enjoy with her, I end up with another glorious nugget of self-realisation that has a profound impact on my mental wellbeing and my day-to-day life.
I haven't felt this much at ease, self-confident and grounded in years. Rather than cowering at the thought of taking on the future and its plethora of potential problems, I'm excited by the challenge of pursuing my will and creating the future that is most me."

"The guidance I've received from Margarita has been positively life-changing. After each session I enjoy with her, I end up with another glorious nugget of self-realisation that has a profound impact on my mental wellbeing and my day-to-day life.
Ahead of my first taste of psycho-synthesis with Margarita, I was experiencing a constant tightness in the head and chest, stress and burn-out. All of that has almost completely disappeared. I'm very confident it isn't just fleeting relief. That's because the depth of introspection she has navigated me through has astonishingly revealed some fundamental truths about my identity, behaviours, beliefs and desires. But, Margarita's magic doesn't end with that enlightening analysis.
She's enabled me to devise better ways of being. For example, we were able to pinpoint that I had a propensity to treat others with a degree of compassion I wasn't affording myself. Instead, I was continually punishing myself, which caused stress. Using role play, she helped me find a way for compassion to guide my Will (my principle desire/purpose) so I would treat myself in a more kind and rational manner rather than beating myself up when I did something 'wrong'.
My sessions with Margarita haven't been your typical talking therapies. Far from it. What also makes them unique and particularly effective is that she brings her own personality and life experiences to the fore to help me understand myself. This ranges from delving into etymology of language to dancing around the room performing basic tango. It's joyous!
I haven't felt this much at ease, self-confident and grounded in years. Rather than cowering at the thought of taking on the future and its plethora of potential problems, I'm excited by the challenge of pursuing my Will and creating the future that is most *me*.
Needless to say, I urge anybody and everybody to take the step to psycho-synthesise with Margarita, no matter who you are and where you're at in your life. If you're confused, stuck, fearful about anything or just want to learn more about yourself, get in touch with her! It could significantly change your life, like it has mine."
