Applied Neuroscience & Mind-Body Integration Coaching

C.O.R.E VISION
Master Your Nervous System, Master Your Life
Emotional mastery isnât about controlling your feelingsâitâs about understanding and rewiring the patterns that shape them.
Change starts at the CORE. Letâs break the cycle and create lasting change.
Align Mind, Body & Action
Feeling stuck in stress, self-doubt, or emotional reactivity? Your emotions, behaviors, and decisions arenât just habitsâtheyâre patterns wired into your nervous system. If you feel disconnected, reactive, or overwhelmed, itâs not a personal failingâitâs a pattern that can be rewired. C.O.R.E Vision is a neuroscience-based coaching system designed to help high-achievers and individuals in transition regulate stress, build self-trust, and lead their lives with clarity and confidence.

Does this sound like you?
Youâre Ready for MoreâBut Somethingâs Holding You Back?
You donât just want clarityâyou want real change. You want to trust yourself, feel confident in your choices, and step fully into the life that feels right for you. But something keeps pulling you back.
Maybe youâre thinkingâŚ

"I donât just want to manage stressâI want to break free from these reactive cycles.â
You crave emotional resilienceâto feel grounded, present, and in control of your responses.

âI know I want something different, but I donât know where to start.ââ
You feel stuck between old patterns and the future you wantâand need a clear way forward.


âI donât want to live on autopilotâI want to feel aligned, present, and fully myself.â
You crave self-trust, grounded decisions, and the ability to lead your life with confidence.

âIâm tired of second-guessing myselfâI want to trust my decisions and stop overthinking.â
You want clarity, self-trust, and the ability to move forward without fear or doubt.
WHAT IF YOU BROKE FREE FROM OLD PATTERNS?
Change isnât about forcing yourself into new habitsâitâs about rewiring patterns at the core.
You donât need to try harder. You need a different approach.
đ You canât open new doors with old keys.The beliefs, habits, and reactions that got you here wonât take you where you truly want to go.
 Coaching can be your key to:

Regulating Stress & Emotional Reactivity
â ⌠so you feel calm, clear, and in controlâno longer ruled by stress cycles.

Trust yourself completely
â ...no more overthinking, hesitation, or waiting for permission to be YOU.

Embodying Confidence & Self-Leadership
â ⌠so you can lead your life, work, and relationships with clarity, trust, and purpose.

Align with your core values and purpose
â... so every choice you make feels true to who you are.

Rewiring Your Self-Perception & Identity
â ... so you no longer shrink, hesitate, or hold yourself back.

Feel clear, grounded, and in control of your future
â ... knowing exactly who you are and where youâre going.
đĄ This isnât just wishful thinking. Itâs possible. And I can help you get there.
đ Thatâs where my C.O.R.E Vision Method comes in.
How Do You Create Lasting Change?
Most people try to change by working harder, thinking differently, or forcing new habits. But true transformation doesnât happen through willpower alone. To create real, lasting change, you have to shift at the C.O.R.E.âwhere your nervous system, emotions, and identity patterns live.
The C.O.R.E. Method ÂŽ Â bridges the gap between neuroscience, emotional resilience, and identity embodimentâso you donât just understand yourself differently, you experience yourself differently.

01. C â CALM & CLARITY
Clarity comes when you stop fighting yourself and start understanding yourself. If your system is stuck in stress, anxiety, or autopilot reactivity, change isnât possible. The first step is calming your nervous system so you can shift from reacting to leading. When youâre regulated, you make decisions from intention, not fear.

02. O â OPEN & OBSERVE
Once your system is calm, you can see whatâs actually running the show. The subconscious patterns, emotional conditioning, and belief loops that keep pulling you back? This step is about uncovering, not judgingâso you can finally rewire outdated programming and rebuild self-trust.

03. R â REDEFINE & REWIRE
Awareness alone doesnât create transformationâyou have to experience yourself differently. You shift from who youâve been to who youâre becoming, aligning your thoughts, emotions, and actions with your true identity. Confidence stops being something you perform and starts being something you own. Through intentional practice, self-trust becomes your new baseline.

04. E â EMBODY & EXPRESS
Change isnât real until you live it. This is where transformation moves from insight to actionâso your new patterns become second nature. You integrate confidence, self-trust, and clarity into your daily life, showing up fully in your relationships, decisions, and self-expression. No more slipping backâthis is who you are now.

The Right Guidance Changes Everything
I know what itâs like to feel stuck between who you were and who youâre becomingâto crave clarity, confidence, and alignment, but feel held back by self-doubt and overthinking. You donât have to navigate this alone.Â
My approach is different because itâs grounded in:
- Neuroscience-Backed Coaching for Deep Change: This isnât about surface-level mindset shiftsâitâs about rewiring your nervous system for lasting transformation. I combine neuroscience, psychology, and coaching to help you break free from subconscious patterns, regulate your emotions, and build true self-trust from the inside out.
- More Than MindsetâA System for Lasting Transformation: Most coaching stops at insight. The C.O.R.E. Method goes further, helping you retrain your nervous system, integrate self-trust, and step into self-leadershipâso confidence and clarity arenât things you chase, theyâre things you embody.

- Embodiment Practices That Reinforce Growth: Change isnât just a mental processâitâs felt in your body. Through practical tools, I guide you in shifting how you carry yourself, set boundaries, and move through life with calm, confidence, and clarityâso you donât just understand the change, you live it.
- Ethics, Trust, and a Safe Space for Growth: I follow the highest ethical standards of the International Coaching Federation (ICF)âcreating a space where you feel truly seen, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.
The right structure, tools, and support can mean the difference between staying stuck in self-doubt and stress or stepping into the clarity, confidence, and freedom to create the life you were meant to live.

About Vlada
BECOMING
YOURSELF.

Based in Portland, Oregon
WWho you are isnât just a concept in your mindâitâs something you embody in how you think, feel, and act every day.
But when life shiftsâa career change, a transition, or a moment of deep self-reflectionâit can feel like youâre stuck between versions of yourself. The old patterns donât fit anymore, but the new way forward isnât clear yet.
You start asking:
Why do I keep repeating the same patterns? What do I actually want? How do I step fully into who I amâwithout fear, doubt, or hesitation?
I know this space well. Iâve lived it. From career shifts to moving across countries, building a business, and stepping into motherhoodâeach transition challenged me to not just think differently, but to rewire my self-perception and embody confidence at my core.
đ Clarity isnât just a mindset shiftâitâs a nervous system shift.
Most people try to force confidence, but true transformation happens when your mind, emotions, and body align at the core.
When you reprogram outdated patterns and integrate new ways of being, confidence stops being something you chaseâit becomes something you embody.

đĄ Important Note: While I provide unwavering support, deep belief in your potential, and powerful coaching tools, the ultimate responsibility for change lies with you.

Confidentiality is paramount in coaching. Your personal information and discussions during sessions are strictly confidential, adhering to professional ethics and standards. I work under the ethical codex of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), guaranteeing confidentiality and professionalism in all our interactions, ensuring that our discussions are private and respectful.
- Coaching: Coaching is a collaborative partnership focused on helping you achieve your goals and unlock your potential.

As a coach, I donât diagnose or treat psychological conditions. Instead, I work with self-aware individuals who are ready to move forward, build confidence, and create meaningful change. If deeper healing is needed, therapy and coaching can complement each other beautifully.
A coach is typically hired by individuals who are seeking to make positive changes in their lives, achieve personal or professional goals, or overcome obstacles that may be holding them back. They often work with clients who:
Seek Personal Growth: Individuals looking to improve self-awareness, confidence, and overall well-being.
Navigate Life Transitions: Those going through significant life changes such as career shifts, relationship changes, or personal development milestones.
Develop Leadership Skills: Professionals aiming to enhance their leadership abilities, communication skills, or team management skills.

Enhance Emotional Intelligence: Clients interested in improving emotional resilience, managing stress, or developing better interpersonal relationships.
Build Authenticity: Individuals who want to align their actions and behaviors more closely with their core values and authentic selves.
In coaching sessions, I integrate science-backed, experiential, and embodiment-based techniques to help you gain clarity, shift patterns, and deeply connect with yourself. These methods are tailored to your unique needs and goals, drawing from neuroscience, interpersonal neurobiology, and mind-body integration.

The more you invest in yourself, the greater the results.
Thatâs completely okay! Many of my clients start with a sense of feeling lost or disconnected but arenât sure what needs to change. My role is to help you uncover that clarityâwhether itâs about your identity, purpose, career, or self-expression.
We start with a conversation, and together, weâll explore where you are, whatâs blocking you, and where you truly want to go. You donât have to have all the answersâjust a willingness to explore.
Yes, you always have the right to set boundaries during your session. You can say stop or tell me if there’s anything you donât feel comfortable discussing. Your comfort and trust are paramount.
My coaching services are inclusive and open to individuals from all backgrounds, professions, and identities. I provide support regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. Everyone is welcome to benefit from personalized coaching aimed at achieving personal growth, overcoming challenges, and aligning actions with goals and values. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, enhancing leadership skills, or seeking greater clarity and well-being, I am here to empower you on your journey.
I understand that life happens! Hereâs how I handle cancellations:
â Rescheduling: You can reschedule up to 24 hours in advance without any fees.
â Cancellations: Sessions canceled within less than 24 hours may not be refundable.
â No-shows: If you miss your session without notice, it counts as used.
Your time and transformation are valuableâletâs honor this commitment together.
Coaching sessions are generally non-refundable to maintain commitment and accountability in the coaching process. When clients invest financially, they are more likely to be committed to their personal growth journey and actively participate in the coaching process. This policy aligns with professional coaching standards and ensures that both parties are dedicated to achieving meaningful results.
However, if you purchase a package of three or more sessions and decide to stop the coaching process for any reason, I can return the money for the unused sessions, provided you give a notice at least five days before the next scheduled session. All the details will be provided to you in the contract.
If you have any questions about this policy, please feel free to ask.
To make the most of our coaching sessions, it’s beneficial to set aside dedicated time and space where you can focus without interruptions. Reflect on your goals, challenges, and any specific topics you’d like to address. It may also be helpful to jot down notes or thoughts beforehand to guide our discussion. Additionally, finding a private, quiet location for our session ensures confidentiality and allows you to fully engage in the coaching process without distractions. This preparation helps to maximize our time together and ensures we can focus on your growth and development effectively.
