I am Marika Zulch 💛

I'm so glad you're here.

I'm an inner transformation and self-love coach certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

This space is dedicated to guiding you back to your true self through shadow work, self-love, and intentional slowing down. 

For most of my life, I chased impossible standards — always striving, never feeling “enough.” I became who I thought I had to be to belong… but underneath it all, I felt disconnected from myself. 

Through shadow work, self-love, and slowing down, I found a different way. A way that helped me see myself clearly, accept myself fully, and begin living from the inside out. 

Now, I help others do the same — to clear the inner clutter, meet themselves with compassion, and release the pressure to be anything other than who they are. 

Because I believe that when we stop battling ourselves, life becomes lighter.

Self-awareness brings inner peace.
Self-love creates freedom and self-trust.
And that’s where true connection begins — with ourselves, and with life.

"Marika helped me break free from negative thinking. Now, I can pause, observe, and change my inner dialogue. With her compassionate and knowledgeable approach, she dismantled my skepticism and showed me that self-kindness is essential. 

Marika was patient, flexible, and easy to open up to. Thanks to her, I’ve reached a turning point, and I’m deeply grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking guidance and transformation."

"Working with Marika has brought drastic positive changes. My partner and I now navigate challenges with ease, and I express my needs in a calmer, more loving way. This has brought us closer together.

At first, I saw myself as ‘silly’ and ‘clingy,’ but Marika helped me realize my inner child was seeking security. Now, I trust myself to provide that, rather than relying solely on my partner. We’ve never been happier, and our gratitude for each other is constant."

"Before coaching with Marika, I felt stuck in my ways and unable to break free from old patterns. It took time and the right tools, but now I have clarity, empowerment, and the agency to create change. I no longer panic. I know I can do this on my own, which is invaluable as a woman. 

Most importantly, she’s helped me appreciate positive moments and not just do ‘the work’ in crisis. This has made my life more enjoyable and made me a kinder person. You don’t need to hit rock bottom to benefit from this journey. I’d recommend it to anyone."
