Feedback From Companies / Organizations

​

Anastasiia’s presentation on self-compassion was exceptional—not only in content, which was easy to follow and apply in our daily professional and personal lives but also in delivery. Her tone, personality, and the way she shared the material made it engaging and impactful. In the days following the presentation, we observed subtle yet positive changes in how our leaders conducted themselves in meetings—their choice of words, tone, and overall self-awareness during interactions, both verbal and written, noticeably improved.

The presentation was deep, and so helpful for me at a personal and professional level. Anastasiia was a great presenter, the tone, her personality, and how the content was shared. It was wonderful! I had to jump off a few minutes before it ended because I received a message from an employee who needed to talk to me urgently and guess what?  I was able to help that employee because I had the tools I learned in the class!  I felt the employee should have been in that class too! The employee felt calmer and more loving towards herself, so she logged off for the day and went to the gym. She's feeling much better this morning. It was very valuable.

I often tell our models that confidence is the key to a successful performance on set or the runway, and that true confidence can only come from within. With her calm demeanor, Anastasiia captivated the group and showed them how to find and cultivate that inner confidence and relate to themselves with kindness and understanding. Since the session, I’ve received positive feedback from participants who have already integrated the lessons into their self-care routine, translating to more confidence in their work.

Anastasiia has a rare gift for creating a safe, nurturing environment where it feels possible to confront and work through deeply ingrained negative voices. In this supportive space, retreat participants were able to establish a deeper connection with their true selves, explore their needs and values, and discover their compassionate inner voices. Many participants left the retreat with a sense of calm and lightness, noting a shift towards greater self-kindness and support in the days that followed. Many also shared that they felt stronger and more confident in facing life’s challenges.

My sessions with Anastasiia were extremely helpful during a time when I needed to make some critical decisions. We were able to identify and isolate my particular strengths, both mental and physical, and apply them to my decision-making process. It felt empowering to remind myself of my true potential.

My life has been extremely challenging ever since COVID-19 and I felt out of touch with my spirituality, my support system, and frankly, myself. Before working with Anastasiia, I didn’t even realize how much pain I was in. She guided me through a series of self-compassion meditations and challenged my beliefs about myself. Slowly but surely, I started to appreciate my efforts and myself more. I feel more confident and hopeful about the future.
