More Questions? An Interview with Anastasia:

How did you get to be a transformational coach?

Over the past 10 years I have studied psychology and various wellness/healing practices as well as a foundation at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in CA (now Sofia University) . I am driven to understand how we can facilitate healing in ourselves and others so that we might meet our best potential in our relationships, creatively and emotionally. At first this was just a hobby, that I nurtured inbetween acting jobs, but after the birth of my son that passion became more of an obsession! I became very focused on how we can give our children the very best beginning, knowing that, neurologically, the first 7-9 years creates the patterns of a lifetime. I started to see how our psychology, and the blocks that hold us back, in all parts of our lives, are created in these very early years and I went about clearing out my own past to make space for the future I wanted to have.

I started my coaching journey working with parents specifically, but realised that my real passion was supporting those similar to myself, who are looking to sustain a life in this amazing industry. We are a unique brand of being!. I knew the transformational strategies I was developing to help parents ‘reparent’ themselves, were universally valuable!

Who are your clients?

I now primarily work with actresses between the age of 29 and 40 who are becoming aware of the role they might be playing in their own limitations. Who want to eliminate that imposter syndrome, eradicate the self sabotaging behaviour (life emotional eating or procrastination) and move on from the unhelpful voice in the head that they are becoming more and more aware of.

These are women who are great at what they do, have experienced some success, but want to take their career to the next level, enjoy the process more, approach the business from a more self supportive and healthy perspective and build better relationships along the way. They want results, but they want it on their terms in a way that supports all aspects of their lives.

Ultimately tho, I work with women who are committed to change.

Do you still act yourself?

Yes I do. I love acting and always will. I will never retire! I am, however, more picky these days and require the work I do to not only be of benefit to me, but also my son, logistically speaking. I am a mum to an 8 year old boy, who is the light of my life, and nothing is more important to me than his wellbeing. Being a parent has seen a natural shift in my priorities, desires and dreams (even having him was a story of miraculous healing you can read about here) so I work less than I did in my 20s and 30s.

As my son gets older, however, I am finding myself longing for being on set and collaborating with others in that way again. I will always love building characters and stepping into the ‘architecture of their mind’ (as I call it), and am beginning to see my son may be the same! The more interest he shows in the creative arts, the more inclined I am that a life moving from set to set may not be the worst place to raise him afterall!

What personalities do you work best with and what is expected of me?

I am an intuitive and thoughtful person and am comfortable with all emotions, so nothing is off the table here. I am passionate about helping my clients implement the changes they desire, but THEY need to WANT to change.

I personally do not need anything from you. I will show up no matter what, and am committed to holding you to hour highest self, so you too can see yourself as such. I will therefore challenge you at times, albeit in gentle and loving ways. All I ask for is commitment, honesty and vulnerability. Change can only happen if you are willing to share what is coming up for you, now and in the past, and that might require some bravery.

Does this really work?

Yes. It has worked for me and my clients.

To use myself as an example, I went from being a deeply unhappy (albeit successful) young woman, who was lonely, unable to sustain intimate relationships, lacking in confidence in her career, on an emotional binge eating / juice fasting hamster wheel and suffering with ill health, to becoming someone with deeply ingrained self respect and self love, capable of maintaining a very loving and healthy long term relationship, parenting with intention (for some time as a single mum), building a thriving coaching business and self healing the ailments that afflicted me for years (from lyme disease to adrenal fatigue). The work I do as an actor no longer defines me but feeds me (I get to really enjoy it again) and I have the skills to handle any sneaky triggers, fears or inner demons that might arise to try to take me down… at work, in my relationship or in my parenting.

This work has changed the trajectory of my life and has evolved me forever. I now feel confident and empowered as an actress, a woman in my mid 40s and as a parent, rather than being lost in the sea of self flagellation I once experienced on a daily!

What results can I expect?

You will:

Feel more empowered and confident in your ability as an actress

Have unwavering self worth as a woman in this world

Be able to nail the auditions and work you get, creating a higher level of success

Feel more positive about yourself and your future

Enjoy better health and wealth

Understand your own behaviour and gain more agency over your responses

Have increased awareness about the internal triggers that are keeping you stuck, and the tools to handle them

Show up the way you WANT TO, in your work and personal life

Communicate easily and more successfully with your loved ones and employers (including effective boundary setting!)

Feel connected to those in your life, which equals more happiness!

And the list goes on….

How quickly can I expect to see shifts in my outcomes?

For some change can be immediate. When we begin to shift our own identity and how we experience ourselves, everyone and everything will mirror that back to us. It just depends on how committed you are to doing the practices, how open you are to the change in perspective and how ready your consciousness is to shift!

One thing I know for sure… the shifts won’t come if you don’t start!

How will we work together and what will the program entail?

Let’s book a call to talk about this. You can do that here. This is a free, 20 minute, no obligation call, where we can get to know each other a little, and see how best I can support you. I offer both group and 1:1 opportunities. Together we will figure out which offer would fit your needs.

If I'm not sure I'm ready to get started, how can I sample your work at low cost to see if it's the right solution for me?

My EFT tapping service are a more affordable way to find some release from reactivity and avoid burnout, for example. You can book a session here. Each session is £120 | $150 and is payable via email prior to the call.

I also offer an SOS call for first time clients only. Unlike the complementary Call which is about identifying how I can best help you, this offers on the spot coaching and promises results. It is an hour long. You can book a session or message me directly. Each session is £120 | $150 and is payable via email prior to the call.

I have a busy life. Although I want more success and pleasure in my life, I don't have much time to spare. How much time do I need?

I am aware that many of my clients have busy working schedules and am therefore willing to design your package with that in mind. For some that is weekly for three months, others it is consolidated into shorter windows or longer by going bi-weekly over 6 months. I will tailor the information best suited to you to avoid overwhelm but ensure results.

Long term, this work will free up your relationship with time and make you more effective, so it is well worth the investment for busy people!

Ok, I am ready to do this but I have a few more questions, can I call you?

Yes please. It is important that we discuss your needs and make sure we are a good fit. You can book a complimentary consultation here or write to me here.
