Meet Anika

I didn’t find coaching because I had relationships figured out.

​

I found it when my marriage failed.

​

We were separated, living in different homes. Divorce papers had been signed. We’d tried multiple therapists, programs, and books, and we still couldn’t find our way through. I was devastated.

​

That experience shaped the work I wanted to do. I wanted to help people bridge the gap between deeply wanting things to change and knowing what to do differently.

I trained through Coach for Life and the Jessica Yaffa Coaching Institute, and went on to study and teach Nonviolent Communication. I was later hired by the Jessica Yaffa Institute as Lead Relationship Coach and Coach Trainer.

​

Throughout that training, I was doing my own work, too. I began recognizing my part in dynamics I’d previously only understood from my side. Some of it was uncomfortable. Some was downright painful. But it opened up choices I hadn’t known I had—and I began becoming someone I’d only hoped I could be.
