How I work?

And what if you can?

You are here because you are so done with playing small while knowing you are made of stars.

You can be whoever you want to be. You can have what you wish for. You can achieve anything you desire. You can live your life the way you choose. You can make the changes you yearn for.

Because you’re already good enough the way you are just because you are.

The world is all right. We are good enough - actually damn good! It is our mindset and approach we want to change.

Break your non-working patterns.

Your tried-and-tested solutions no longer work. No matter what you do, it always comes out the same. You have already tried everything and it still doesn't feel right. You hear yourself saying "I can't. I don't know. I am not good enough."

Let’s do it differently. We will explore your inner beliefs, voices, attitudes, and barriers. We will look at them in a new, unconventional way. We will awaken your creativity and find approaches that serve you better. We will twist the negative speech of your inner saboteurs into positive self-talk of your inner sage.

Live your dream.

Your current paths no longer make sense. You feel trapped and like you're living someone else's life. You don't know exactly where your life is going. You secretly dream about that but you don't know how to get there - or you think you cannot do it because it's not for you, it's for others.

Let’s explore reality and discover your desired mission and life purpose. Find your own path and believe that you can make your seemingly crazy dreams come true. Because if you change what you believe in then you change what you do and what you achieve.

Learn something new about yourself.

Your head is chaos and your body a mess. You are troubled by inner tension and dissatisfaction. You are anxious, worried, scared, lost and panicked very often and you can not figure out why.

Let’s do it your way. Remember who you truly are. Discover your true inner self and explore your hidden potential. Experience a few aha moments and explore new dimensions.

Have a great today - not just a better tomorrow.

You feel like a hamster on a wheel. You can’t get out and get things moving in new direction. You are annoyed by everyone and everything around you. You are still waiting for the right time to act.

Come take life into your own hands. Know and learn to meet your daily needs. Create the fulfilled life you want right here, right now. Don’t wait for tomorrow, because life is now.

How I work:

You focus on what you don't have. And yet right now you have everything. You just need to discover it.
— Anthony de Mello —

Somatic Coaching

I communicate with you not only on the intellectual level through your words and thoughts, but I also perceive your body language. I bring your attention to the bodily perceptions and experiences in the body. The body has a very good memory. It holds valuable information and, unlike the mind, it cannot be fooled. It’s more expressive, honest, and real. Together we will get deeper into what the real essence is. We will use the wisdom of your mind, body and heart.

Nonviolent Communication

I work with the language of feelings and needs (i.e. nonviolent communication according to Marshall Rosenberg). I will help you recognize and name your feelings and uncover the needs hidden behind them. Emotions serve as an internal compass. They help us to know ourselves better and find unique ways (strategies) to meet our needs. You will learn to express your feelings, communicate your needs and instead of oppressive demands, make understandable, unbound requests.

Safe Space

I will hold a safe space for you to stop, breathe, ground yourself, and become present. A space where you can breathe freely, be yourself and especially with yourself. Without pretending, denial, fear, or shame.

Non-judging Mirror

Your world is fine as it is. It is as it is meant to be and you are on exactly the path you are meant to be on. I do not judge you or your world. I return your words, reflect your thoughts, capture your ideas, mirror your movements. I accept them as they come and present them back to you – to lead you to new realizations.

Partner for the Journey

I am your guide, partner, and confidant on your journey. I’ll hear you out. I’ll support you when you don’t feel well. I’ll hold you up if you trip and stumble. I’ll encourage you as you gather courage. I’m in this with you until you decide to go alone.

Process Navigator

I guide the process, keep the structure, watch the boundaries, and ask questions. I oversee our agreement and guide you to achieve your goals. I am not here to give you advice, but to ensure that you grow on your journey. In the end, you are the best expert on yourself anyway.

Present and Future

Coaching is not therapy. It doesn’t focus on the past; it doesn’t analyse it and it doesn’t work with traumas. It’s not so much asking “why?”, but rather “what to do about it?”. I honor this. I work with what is alive here and now, what is relevant to change for the future. I draw on the findings of positive psychology – I keep my attention on what benefits and serves you.

What do clients say?

Lucie M.
Yoga and Czech teacher for foreigners
It dawned on me! 🌟 After a coaching session with Kamila it lit up. And I shined with a wide smile on my face. I came to Kamila agitated, fussed, with my head inflated like a balloon full of diverse and conflicting voices. I didn't know which one to listen to, I wasn't sure what I actually needed at that time and how to get it. The hour passed by and I got what I came for: I calmed down and was leaving with the belief that I am not broken and that I am GOOD ENOUGH. I was able to name all my inner voices, talk to them, and understand them. Kamila, thank you for your great guidance, for the free and non-judgmental space you gave me, and for your authenticity and humanity. Because that's what matters most.

I highly recommend working with Kamča, she turned my life around 180 degrees in two sessions 🤩 She helped me to drop my inhibitions and dive into business and that was a huge step/jump in the right direction for me (although outside of my current comfort zone) 🙂 She also helped me to clarify for good who decides about my life and who puts inhibitions in my way (and to channel that inner saboteur). I was really relieved right then, thank you 🙏🏻 ❤️

Thank you for your natural but firm hold on the process and making the space. For the sense of safety that you gave me. I wouldn’t afford to talk to everyone so openly.
Jana
mom on maternity leave
Thank you, Kami, for the opportunity to perceive the power of safe space and sharing that you, as a guide, were able to give me. With your questions, you opened space for me to grow. Taking a new path in life and getting to know yourself is a challenge. But keeping the direction and not slipping into old, dysfunctional patterns of thinking is a great challenge for me. And that's exactly what you do. You keep direction. Redirect attention when needed. You showed me a different perspective. I had so many aha moments, so many realizations. Your guidance was a very enriching experience for me. Thank you for the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and finally start creating what gives me great meaning, my life.
Jakub Matějec
Agile Coach, photographer
I was pleasantly surprised by the power of well-structured, clear, and concise questions that always got me thinking and discovering my aha moments.
Anna-Marie Pospíšilová
psychologist
I liked the fact that you didn’t leave me playing in my little sandbox. It’s tempting to poke around in it, to build sand cakes, even though I can do them very well on my own, it’s more fun to be here with another person. Thank you for taking me out of my comfort zone and making me look beyond the end of the playground. It allows me to seek a more far-reaching vision and work more consciously on where I am going. And most importantly to fulfill MY DREAM FASTER!

The first meeting is always free of charge. It can take place in person, on phone, or online. Together we set up the order, fine-tune mutual expectations, clarify the process, make the agreement and, based on your demand and needs, agree on the number and scope of meetings. Message me, call me, click on the button and leave me your contact, or directly book a discovery call date in Calendly (see Contacts). Looking forward to hearing from you!

You don't have to do anything, but you can do anything if you want to.

About me

Courage does not mean the absence of fear. Courage is going out and doing things despite being afraid.

I am a woman. I already know a little about life, but I am not all-wise and I certainly do not consider myself a paragon of all virtues. I draw on my personal experiences, pains, and joys, but I don’t want to give you advice. I’ll rather guide you because, in the end, you are the best expert on yourself anyway.

I know what I want. I know what I don’t. Usually. I love to laugh. Often. Frequently to myself. I know what I am capable of and I am very often perceived as brave, courageous, strong and tough. Although, deep inside I’m vulnerable, highly sensitive and also very often afraid. Yet I don’t give up on myself. Because I want to follow my unique path with passion, love, and freedom. I believe that uniqueness is a way to be. And treating myself with kindness is a way to do. 

I’m an overthinker through and through. I’m great at analyzing, thinking deep and hard and sometimes around three corners. I know how to structure, how to make sense of things, how to bring order to chaos and system to disorder. I don’t miss a detail. As a perfectionist with a sense of beauty, I appreciate purity, maximum simplicity, and perfection. And yet, I am fallible and perfectly imperfect. Oh, and I already know that I’m good enough anyway.

In my spare time, you’ll most likely find me running through the woods and over the hills, gazing at the ocean waves, head up on a yoga mat, dancing to the rhythm of salsa or bachata on the dance floor, singing while stirring the pot in the kitchen, or behind the bar at the coffeemaker. My lifestyle combines wild nature with vibrant cities and sacred alone time. Nature recharges me, as do deep, quality relationships. I am passionate about capturing my life through photography and journaling. As soon as I have enough courage, I’ll publish it too 🙂

I am fascinated by Eastern teachings, (Zen)Buddhism. It inspires me with pure being in the present, simplicity, non-evaluation and non-comparison, and responsibility for one’s experience. I love the complex concept of man as a being interconnected in heart, body, soul, and mind. I am a practitioner of Vedic meditation. And one day I intend to achieve full enlightenment 🙂

I love to explore, experiment, experience, stare, discover and wonder. I allow myself to be captivated by everyday things as well as extraordinary moments. Whether in different regions, various cultures, between people or within myself. I like to work on myself. And I like to work with people. I enjoy growing with them, and I enjoy being there when they grow.

Which way and where will you go?
Let's explore it together. Which door will you enter? What would you do if you weren't afraid?
Life is no straight and easy corridor along which we travel free and unhampered, but a maze of passages, through which we must seek our way, lost and confused, now and again checked in a blind alley. But always, if we have faith, a door will open for us, not perhaps one that we ourselves would ever have thought of, but one that will ultimately prove good for us.
