Individuals
Something in the way you live, work or understand yourself is shifting.
Perhaps you can describe it clearly. Perhaps you cannot. But you can feel something has changed.
You may not know what comes next. But you know that it is time to explore new possibilities.
My work creates space to explore the passage of transformation you are already in — to participate in what is changing, deepen your understanding of what matters now, and begin shaping what comes next.

You don’t need to understand what is happening yet. Sometimes a passage begins simply with the feeling that something no longer quite fits.
More is possible
I know there is more available to me than the life I am currently living.
What worked no longer fits
Something that once felt right now feels increasingly too small or no longer true.
Between old and new
I know what I am moving away from, but not yet what I am moving towards.
Life changed first
A new role, relationship, loss, move, success or life stage has changed the conditions around me.
Identity is shifting
Something I once organised my identity around is changing.
Something is calling me
I feel drawn towards something I cannot yet fully explain.
About Marilena
Transformation has been both a personal journey and the work of my professional life.
My own life has rarely followed a straight line. I grew up in Cyprus and have since lived in Switzerland, New York, London, Barcelona, Berlin and now Italy. Professionally, I have moved through entrepreneurship, innovation, product leadership, strategy and coaching — repeatedly finding myself at points where something that had once felt right no longer did.
For a long time, I was very good at changing my life.
What took me longer to understand was that changing the circumstances around us does not necessarily transform the patterns through which we choose, respond and create our lives. I could make courageous changes, give everything to something new, and still eventually find myself somewhere strangely familiar.
What people say
“Marilena accompanied me through a process of transformation, helping me to bring together a deeper understanding of myself with what was actually emerging in my life. I learned to remain open to the opportunities and possibilities that life was presenting to me, rather than feeling that I needed to have everything figured out in advance. More importantly, she taught me a method, a way of listening — both inwardly, to myself, and outwardly, to life — that I can now return to whenever I find myself facing a new search or important decision.”
— Elena De Pieri
“Each weekly meeting was a breath of fresh air — a moment just for myself where I could find clarity and make order in my life. Marilena showed me a new way of approaching challenges, turning difficulties into real opportunities.”
— Alice Maffei
“Marilena’s approach was distinctively engaging — her strategy revolved around relentless inquiry to unlock key behaviours and insights. It didn't just scratch the surface; it helped uncover layers of hidden energy within me.”
— Ipshita Saroufim
You do not always need the next answer immediately.
When something no longer fits, we naturally want to know what should replace it. But sometimes the most important work is staying with the question long enough to see possibilities that were unavailable from where we stood before.
What we explore
- 01
What is actually changing?
What feels deeply true for me now?

What am I holding onto?
Because it still serves me — or because it is familiar?
- 03
What am I beginning to sense?
What possibilities keep returning?
- 04
What assumptions need examining?
Discerning between my truth and limiting beliefs — who I am, what I value, my capabilities and my possibilities
- 05
What is the next chapter inviting me to honour in myself?
What capacities, conditions, choices or experiments might help me meet it?
