Power-Coaching - Karmen Jurela

At first, I was skeptical of the whole idea of Life-Coaching. I didn’t quite know what the session was going to entail – but I had a natural fear of being manipulated into paying for things I didn’t need, being analysed and judged, experiencing weird vibes of deception in my exchanges with people, and I was becoming increasingly protective of my wounds – I was healing from my so-called ‘trials and tribulations’ and I didn’t need someone else (especially a stranger) intimately involved in my personal and sacred and often indescribable, incomprehensible (unpredictable) psyche.

And then I met Karmen. Within the first 10 minutes I started feeling the tense ball in my stomach subside.. I started feeling like I was actually not only allowed to be myself (and this isn’t always received well by people) but I was also encouraged to be more honest, search deeper for what it is I really want to say.. And was I encouraged to invite the youngest, wildest, truest inner child I could muster into the room. Karmen’s sincerity and care for me was absolutely transparent and I felt I really trusted her. At this stage of my life this was quite something, for I was like a frightened rabbit and very careful in general to not trust just anyone. I had some major blocks in my flow with others, and had by now developed a habit of psycho-analysing when interacting with people (something that can become quite exhausting and also inaccurate at times) - but I felt at ease. In her presence I could let this all fade away. I now don’t feel so afraid of people. I am way more present and I feel my focus has shifted into healthier realms of consciousness.

Karmen is comfortable in her own skin, she follows her own dreams and passions, and is open about her own flaws, fears and fantasies. Her determination and consistency inspired me to strive to adopt the same habit. I was relieved when I found myself in a position where I now had someone teaching me how to do this.

I also realised that there was way more to Karmen’s therapeutic coaching, than what the course-material she had studied could have provided. She has something very unique and mysterious, to have the ability to sit in front of a complete stranger and guide them in and around and then into their softer selves. I sometimes still meet with her. It feels good opening up to her, I feel that she helps me somehow find the questions I have been asking myself. And then I can take it from there and find the solutions to problems I have always felt were there but could never really face or put onto paper.

She is delightful when the energy is ready for it, she is compassionate when you reveal a wound, and she is sensitive to feeling out when you yourself are being genuine – and when this happens – she is extremely encouraging. I felt excited to go home and practice being more honest, allowing the secrets of my own heart to be revealed to me… and eventually imagine what it would be like to live a life without hesitation and self-pity, stagnancy and self-consciousness; second-guessing every little decision I make, or feeling I feel. I knew by the end of that first session already that I wanted to be FREE and OPEN and REAL and BRAVE. And I found that I could see it in her.

The content she read to me and chose for me was astoundingly accurate and in-sync with my current path, my challenges and blocks, and my blindspots. It revealed to me what I wasn’t seeing, and she (metaphorically) gently took me by the hand and walked me around the ‘high old walls of my castle’ that is My Being, and together we pointed at all the alternative climbing routes I could take up them… and I could then climb into the windows of solution. As I climbed I started experiencing an evolution of some very deeply embedded mind-patterns and heart-secrets.

I’ve had several coaching sessions with Karmen and was amazed by the depth of her being. She created a safe space for me to share and open up, which supported me to achieve my set goals. Thank you, Karmen! Highly recommended.

I appreciated Karmens’ approach: gentle, compassionate, giving me space, respecting my boundaries and at the same time moving me forward; it’s exactly what I needed. Thank you very much :)

Bin gerade noch mitten in einem Coaching-Zyklus und bisher ist alles bestens...herausfordernd..auch schwierig, tiefschürfend und inspirierend. Es macht Freude in Bewegung und Veränderung zu sein und dabei nicht im Kämmerlein zu schmoren, sondern immer wieder solche Unterstützung zu bekommen. Danke! Jederzeit gerne!

Etwas unzufrieden, aber vor allem unklar, mit meiner Situation, wurde mir Karmen als coachin empfohlen. Als Zahnärztin fand ich sie schon super.

Völlig unbefleckt und nichtsahnend, was mich wohl erwartet, habe ich den Schritt dennoch gewagt und bei ihr einen Termin zum consciousness coaching gemacht.

Nachdem alle Formalitäten er- und geklärt waren, ging es auch sofort ins Eingemachte! Ein running gag waren meine durchgeschwitzten Oberteile nach jeder Session - ja, sich darauf einlassen ist gar nicht Mal so unanstrengend. Dennoch lohnt es sich!

Gemeinsam mit Karmen konnte ich gewisse "stillgelegte" Wünsche und Ideen wieder aktivieren und meine Motivation auf ein echtes Hoch bringen. Auf einmal geht alles wie von selbst - Du musst Dich nur dafür entscheiden! Klingt abgedroschen, aber was soll ich sagen...es ist wirklich so.

Karmen hat einfach eine Aura, die Dir fast keine Wahl lässt, außer Dich für eine positivere Sicht aufs Leben und vor allem Aktion zu entscheiden.

Für mich eine unglaublich erstaunliche und bewegende Erfahrung, die sich keiner vorenthalten sollte.

Sowohl zwischenmenschlich als auch persönlich eine echte Bereicherung.

Die Anleitung von Frau Jurela war genau so, wie ich es von einem Coaching erwartet habe: nämlich gecoacht und nicht beraten zu werden. Ich hatte Zeit und bekam den Raum, auf eigene Lösungen zu kommen. Das war anstrengend und zielführend. Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Danke!
