Pauline - Paris, France$136
$136Life & Career Coach for Teens, Expats and Young Professionals
Trusted teacher: There’s something in you that makes you feel alive—something that excites you, that gives you a sense of purpose, that makes life feel like more than just going through the motions. Maybe you’ve already felt it before, or maybe you’re still searching. Maybe it’s something big and bold, or maybe it’s something quiet but deeply meaningful. Whatever it is, I want to help you find it, trust it, and actually live it. Because life isn’t just about existing—it’s about feeling good in your own skin, trusting yourself, and building a life that actually feels like yours. We all go through phases where we feel lost, stuck, or unsure of what comes next. That’s why I don’t just focus on helping you reach for your goals and dreams—I also help you cope, adapt, and move through life with confidence and trust in yourself. At the end of the day, I want you to feel like you’ve got your own back—no matter what. What is coaching, and how does it help? Coaching is about helping you feel more confident, handle stress better, and figure out what you want—without pressure or judgment. It’s not therapy, advice, or homework. It’s a space to talk, reflect, and get practical tools to navigate life in a way that feels right for you. How do sessions work? We talk—sometimes about big things, sometimes about small things. Together, we break down challenges and build strategies that actually work. It’s a mix of conversation, reflection, and practical tools to help you move forward. Is this like therapy? No. Coaching is about growth, confidence, and action, not diagnosing or treating mental health conditions. If you’re feeling really overwhelmed, therapy might be a better fit. Coaching is for when you’re ready to gain clarity, make decisions, and feel more in control of your life. What if I don’t know what I need? That’s okay! You don’t have to have it all figured out. Coaching helps you make sense of what’s going on and find the next step that feels right for you.

Dominique - Troistorrents, Switzerland$85
$85Audio-Psycho-Phonology, according to Tomatis and Emotional Support
Trusted teacher: Audio-Psycho-Phonologist with over 35 years of experience in helping and supporting people seeking emotional or physical well-being, I am also certified in Emotion and Body Code by Dr. Bradley Nelson. This allows me to offer those who want it considerable help through a simple, effective and also practical method because there is no need to travel! From a very young age and often already since intrauterine life, then as soon as we started to speak, we are "impregnated" with negative thoughts, emotions, feelings in our family, environment, often conveyed by social, media, education. These negative blockages are then reinforced and accumulated as our existence progresses. Freeing oneself from these negative emotions, these imbalances, these knots that have been able to settle in and block our daily life, also helps to "make them conscious" and to learn to recognize them, accept them, respect them and finally transform them in order to avoid trapping them again. We can thus be freed from: - Lack of motivation - Fatigue and lack of energy - Difficulty projecting oneself into the future, - Difficulty making decisions, - Feeling stuck in a situation - Professional or personal relationship problems - Decrease in memory, attention or concentration - Feeling unwell, lacking self-confidence - Worries, fears, anxiety... Etc. I offer to those who wish it, children, adolescents, adults, follow-up in the form of half-hour sessions once or twice a week, to gradually release this emotional burden and these imbalances. An initial interview via Skype allows us to explain in more depth the progress of the Emotion/Body Code sessions which then take place on site or via Skype.

Great teacher and genuinely positive learning experience, highly recommended. - As a French language tutor, Florie has been very encouraging, attentive, and patient - great prompts for students who struggle to speak (like me). - She always has a well-structured plan for the class but has also been flexible to adjust to my questions and give additional explanations to the grammar rules, vocabulary etc I wouldn't understand. - As a person, she is outgoing and is very easy to get along with - makes French language a lot less scary than before I started.

rating green star
I have adult swim lessons with Daniel to improve my technique and learn additional swimming styles. I did not know how much there was to improve until my first lesson with Daniel. It was challenging and fun at the same time. He gives detailed feedback, is good at explaining things in different ways, and shows very well how to do it. I highly recommend him!
