“Sakeenah’s hard work and professionalism was of huge benefit to the training event she coached in. Her style had a hugely positive and motivational impact on the team she was working with and helped lead to a successful event. Thank you!” Ed Stennett, Project & Event Manager, Achiive Ltd., UK

“Sakeenah has a wonderful way about her, warm and engaging, and this combined with her incisive ability to hone in on key issues, is compelling. She helped me see things about myself of which I was not aware, highly provocative in a good way. You can tell that she genuinely cares about you as a person, and truly wants the best for you, whatever that might be. If you want to change your life, Sakeenah is a great navigator in treading on tender terrain and figuring out how you might decide to be different. A wonderful, scary, and thrilling adventure… ”  Mary Fran L, Partner – Recruiting Firm, Seattle

“I have really appreciated Sakeenah’s time and wisdom. I have felt nurtured by our sessions together. Her clear sightedness and ability to ask the right questions and provide realistic tools that are easily applicable in day to day life has been invaluable in helping me move into my next phase of growth. I have especially appreciated how Sakeenah can be like a mirror, reminding me of things I said in the past or ways in which I have shifted which I too quickly forget as I am lost in the drama of the moment or in my desire to always move forwards. Ask yourself if in 10 years time you might regret not offering yourself this gift of personal growth at this stage in your life. If Sakeenah has come into your field of vision, then my advice is to grasp the opportunity with both hands!” Chris Lunch, Co-Founder & Director, InsightShare, France

“Si je devais résumer en quelques lignes ce que tu m’as apporté, je dirais : Grace à nos échanges authentiques et honnêtes, tu as su me mettre en confiance dans une relation toujours sincère et franche. Tu as su m’écouter, me comprendre et me conseiller toujours de façon bienveillante.  J’ai pu travailler au plus profond de moi, échanger avec toi sur mes petits pas et mes difficultés tout en explorant des voies encore inconnues pour moi. J’ai pu notamment mesurer l’importance de ce triangle corps/coeur/cerveau. Je pense avoir réussi à mieux me connaître, mieux m’écouter pour décoder mes émotions. Peu à peu j’ai (re)gagné de la confiance en moi. Tu as su également m’apporter des outils concrets que j’ai pu tester et éprouver avec efficacité sur moi-même : l’EFT (que j’utilise encore), les bonhommes allumettes, le champs du futur. Les objectifs que l’on s’était fixé ont pour moi tous été atteints : j’ai réussi à me relever de ce difficile épisode de burn-out et reprendre sereinement mon travail. Je t’en remercie infiniment, Sakeenah …” Olivier P., Cadre Ingénieur, Paris

“As a coach, Sakeenah helped me to unravel an area of my business life that I had been struggling with for a long time. She is a very empathetic person, with a warmth and genuine desire and ability to help that shines through and makes sessions with her a pleasure. She asks excellent questions, is not judgmental and challenges in a way that is both supportive and creative.”  Helena M, CEO, London

“I enjoyed our time together and am most grateful for the opportunity to learn more about how to handle my life and how to address being more gentle on myself and others. The re-introduction of the I-Thou thinking, that I had forgotten from my University days, will be truly transformative for me! I appreciate the other ideas you brought into the discussion, sending me books, links and resources you thought were appropriate for me.” Katrina W, CEO, London/LA

“Sakeenah connected with me in a powerful way so I felt able to discuss the important areas of my life with openness and honesty regardless of how difficult this can be because of her genuinely supportive approach.”  Stuart W, Sales Manager, London

“Mon parcours avec Sakeenah a eu plusieurs points positifs:

• Les questions que Sakeenah pose sont telles qu’on change le point de vue de ses interrogations et via ce processus, on trouve une solution surprenante et intéressante. Changer d’angle et de perspective permet de changer d’approche et de vision, et la nouvelle vision est très constructive.
• Sakeenah a une grande expérience de vie, et sa méthode reflète cela. Les nouveaux horizons peuvent s’explorer tranquillement et sereinement et une dimension nouvelle et prometteuse s’installe.
• Les pas suggérés par Sakeenah ont l’air de rien du tout, tellement elle analyse bien la situation et la personne en face d’elle, donc le travail avec elle est surtout une magnifique manière d’avancer avec la joie de vivre et la confiance. L’ouverture vers l’avenir se fait sans regret et sans peur.“ Isabella O, Entrepreneur & Auteur, Paris

“Ce coaching m’a aidé à prendre confiance en moi et à faire des choix. Au cours de ces derniers mois, j’ai franchi un “step”. Aujourd’hui, je sais mieux ce que je veux et que je suis capable de l’obtenir. J’ai vraiment apprécié ce travail avec toi. J’ai trouvé ta méthode très adaptée au tourbillon perpétuelle qu’est ma vie.” Coline A, Scénariste, Paris

“J’ai vraiment apprécié travailler avec toi, tu as une bonne énérgie, tu arrives à bien capter et cerner la personnalité et sensibilté des gens. Tu es forte et rassurante. J’ai eu vraiment le sentiment d’avoir un soutien et c’est ce que j’attendais pour pouvoir avancer et y voir plus clair. Je me suis sentie très à l’aise dans chaque séance de coaching. Cela m’a permis également de reprendre confiance en moi pour mon orientation professionnelle. J’ai aimé également ta manière de travailler, ta vision dans la globalité.” Mathilde B, Productrice, Paris

“I’m not one to ever write testimonials but I feel the need to write this – Sakeenah has opened up other ways of thinking for me/other positive ways to see the world. As a painfully private person who felt she couldn’t open up to anyone, Sakeenah offered me a safe and comfortable place to grow emotionally and wisely. Albeit uncomfortable to start with, I’m now closer to understanding myself, which also means I’m closer to accepting myself – something I need to do to be a happier person. One area I’ve always been almost arrogant about is my self -awareness but now I know I really wasn’t even close before I spent time with Sakeenah. I believed I had all the answers and reasoning to my behaviour – I couldn’t have been more wrong. It all makes sense now, which means I can be less judgmental and strive for a more contented life. I’ve always felt I was searching for something, in need of something, a dreamer – I have the answers now. Thank you Sakeenah for showing me how to access areas of my brain/emotions that I never knew how to before. You also made me remember what makes me content and how to practice it. On a separate note thanks for showing me I can trust again. It was also extremely refreshing to spend such quality time with someone so authentic. My life is so much richer now.” Laura I, Consultant, London
