Philosophy

Kristina Vella’s coaching philosophy is based on a 360° approach. This means looking at the individual as a system and combining factors that contribute to the person’s overall performance, health and satisfaction.

In an effort to support clients make breakthroughs, Kristina has created a method that is both belief- and behavior-based. It addresses the skill set as well as the mindset, approaching the obstacles from “inside out” which entails emotional release work, and combining it with practical strategies that are aligned with clients’ value system.

Each individual has different aspirations and faces different challenges. Some clients require more structure, some seek more guidance, and some simply need more accountability. A key focus of Kristina’s work is to adapt her approach for each individual.
