Change • Transformation • GrowthLGBTQ+ / Queer & Neurodiversity-Affirming Change & Transformation Coach & Reiki Practitioner
Welcome!I help people navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, questions of identity, self-worth, addiction recovery, career changes, and other periods of personal transformation.I’m a LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity-affirming change and transformation coach, Reiki practitioner, workshop facilitator, yoga & meditation teacher, somatic bodyworker, and former United Nations professional. My work brings together international experience, schema-informed coaching approaches, and mind-body practices to support growth, self-understanding, and lasting transformation.While I work with people from all backgrounds, I specialise in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and neurodivergent people through coaching, personal growth, and life transitions. As someone who belongs to both communities, I understand many of the questions, challenges, and experiences that can arise around identity, belonging, relationships, self-acceptance, and personal growth.I also work with internationally mobile individuals, expats, and people navigating cross-cultural life transitions.Some of the most meaningful things in life begin when we stop resisting change.
COACHING
Change & Transformation Coaching
LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity-affirming change and transformation coachingLife rarely moves in a straight line.You may be navigating relationship challenges, loneliness, questions around identity, low self-worth, addiction, burnout, major life decisions, career transitions, or simply a feeling that you have outgrown an old version of yourself.I primarily work with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals, including professionals, creatives, and expats, seeking support with life transitions, relationships, self-worth, identity, addiction recovery, burnout, and personal growth. I also welcome clients from all backgrounds who are seeking greater clarity, self-understanding, and meaningful change.Many of my clients are navigating questions of identity, belonging, relationships, self-acceptance, purpose, and personal growth.My coaching is inspired by Schema Coaching, an approach based on principles from Schema Therapy. It helps us understand how early experiences shape the patterns, beliefs, emotional reactions, and coping strategies we carry into adulthood.Many of the difficulties we face today are not random. They are often rooted in ways we learned to adapt earlier in life when our emotional needs were not met.By becoming aware of these patterns, we can stop repeating them automatically and begin creating healthier ways of relating to ourselves and others. Together we explore what may be keeping you stuck, strengthen your awareness of these patterns, and develop new ways of responding to life’s challenges. For a short explainer on Schema Coaching, please see this short video below.Areas I commonly work with include:
• Life transitions and major decisions
• Relationships and intimacy
• Identity, authenticity, and self-understanding
• LGBTQ+ identity and self-acceptance
• Neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, giftedness and related experiences)
• Self-worth and confidence
• Addiction and harmful coping behaviours
• Loneliness and connection
• Career transitions and purpose
• Personal growth and emotional wellbeingWhere appropriate, I complement coaching with Reiki and mindfulness-based practices to support grounding, self-awareness, and sustainable change.

About
Hi, I’m Marko.“If there’s one thing that has defined my life, it’s change.”After starting my career in the private sector, I moved into academia and graduate studies in statistics before joining the United Nations, where I spent more than a decade working globally.Along the way I lived and worked in ten countries across three continents and travelled to nearly one hundred countries worldwide.These experiences profoundly shaped how I see the world. They taught me that diversity is one of humanity’s greatest strengths. Different cultures, identities, perspectives, and life experiences enrich us, broaden our understanding, and help us grow.For much of my life, I approached the world through logic, analysis, and evidence. Over time, however, I realised that some of the most important aspects of being human cannot be understood through reason alone. I gradually learned to make space for intuition, creativity, embodiment, and deeper self-awareness.That shift became one of the most important transformations of my own life.Eventually, it led me to leave a successful international career and dedicate my work more directly to helping people navigate change & transformation and grow in their own lives.Today I bring together lessons from international development, coaching, mindfulness, Reiki, yoga, somatic bodywork and my own lived experience.I am particularly interested in supporting LGBTQ+ / Queer and neurodivergent individuals, including people navigating identity, relationships, self-acceptance, career transitions, ADHD, autism, and other experiences that can shape how we relate to ourselves and the world around us. As a member of both communities myself, I understand how questions of identity, belonging, authenticity, relationships, and self-acceptance can shape our lives in unique ways.More than any specific method or framework, what matters most to me is creating a space where people feel seen, understood, challenged, and supported as they move toward meaningful change.In addition to English, I also speak a number of other European languages, such as: Spanish, Italian, French, Slovenian and Slovak. We can work in any of these.I'm based in Berlin and work online with clients worldwide.Change is rarely easy. But it can become a doorway to a more authentic life.
Reiki & Energy Work
Sometimes change begins through conversation.Sometimes it begins through stillness.Reiki is a Japanese energy-healing practice that promotes relaxation, stress reduction, emotional wellbeing, and a greater sense of balance and connection. The word Reiki is often translated as “universal life energy.”During a Reiki session, I act as a channel for this energy by placing my hands above the body with the intention of supporting the body’s natural capacity for balance, healing, and restoration. Clients remain fully clothed throughout the session and simply relax while receiving Reiki. Many people describe feeling deeply relaxed, grounded, centred, or emotionally lighter after a session.People seek Reiki for many different reasons, including:
• Stress and overwhelm
• Emotional wellbeing
• Grounding and relaxation
• Support during life transitions
• Personal reflection and self-discovery
• Reconnecting with themselvesFor me, Reiki is not separate from the process of personal transformation.While coaching helps us understand our thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and life patterns, Reiki offers a complementary body-based experience. Together they create a more holistic approach to change, supporting not only the mind, but also the body and the nervous system.Reiki sessions can be experienced as a standalone practice or integrated into the coaching process. Together, coaching and Reiki support both understanding and embodiment of change — helping clients navigate transformation with greater awareness, grounding, and self-connection.

PERSONAL CHANGELife Challenges & Personal TransformationLife can present difficult challenges — in relationships, career direction, addiction, identity, or personal growth.At times we may feel stuck in patterns that are hard to understand or change.Through coaching conversations inspired by schema therapy approaches, I help people explore the deeper patterns that shape how they think, feel, and act. Together we look at what may be holding you back and how you can begin moving toward a life that feels more aligned with who you are.This work often touches many areas of life — from personal wellbeing and relationships to confidence, purpose, and long-term direction.Learn more →
ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGEWorkshop Design & FacilitationImportant decisions and meaningful collaboration often happen through well-designed conversations.But many meetings and workshops fail because they lack clear structure, purpose, or facilitation.Over the past 15 years I have designed and facilitated numerous international workshops, expert meetings and training events involving governments, international organisations and experts from around the world.Today I help organisations design and facilitate workshops that are engaging, focused, and productive — whether for strategy discussions, team retreats, training sessions, or stakeholder dialogues.Learn more →
