ABOUT ME - Alja Berk Coaching

The 'New Earth' manifests through the LIBERATION AND self-actualization of each individual!

“I firmly believe that as privileged individuals in Western societies, we have a moral obligation to go beyond mere personal and career pursuits. It is our duty to actively seek fulfillment, authenticity, connection, and contribute to the well-being of our communities and society as a whole.

In today’s complex and challenging times marked by environmental crises, conflict, social injustices, and widespread mental health issues, we must step up and take meaningful action. By aligning our external realities with our core values, we can unleash the power within and make a positive impact on our surroundings.

As a dedicated coach, I am committed to empowering individuals to embrace their true potential and create purposeful lives. Together, we can drive positive change, one person at a time, and collectively work towards building a more compassionate, sustainable, and thriving world.”

My expertise stems from a wide range of experiences, comprehensive certifications, and a global perspective acquired through immersion in various cultures. Guided by my intuitive nature, I offer a multidimensional approach during sessions.

Studying sustainability during my Bachelor’s program, particularly during my Erasmus exchange at Rotterdam Business School, ignited a big-picture thinking that has profoundly transformed my perception of reality.

In my experience working in the pharmaceutical and market research industry, I came to a profound realization. Somewhere along the way, we’ve lost sight of what truly matters. Our focus on magic pills and materialism has driven us further from ourselves and from genuine connections with others. It became clear to me that what we urgently need is a rediscovery of our humanity.

Compassionate leadership is key to rediscovering our sense of self-worth, making healthy choices, and building genuine connections. It’s not just about surface-level changes, but creating a ripple effect across systemic, organizational, and individual levels.

Lasting change isn't achieved by simply listening to the heart. It requires consistent action-taking and unwavering faith.

Driven by a deep desire for change, I embarked on a transformative journey. I sought knowledge outside my regular jobs, immersing myself in self-empowerment and mindfulness trainings. Despite acquiring valuable tools, I knew I needed more.

With unwavering determination, I took a bold step – I quit my job and embarked on a year-long working holiday in New Zealand. It was there, in Christchurch, that I completed a 5-day intensive Life Coaching course accredited by the New Zealand & Australia Life Coaching Association. This experience solidified my path, fueling my intention to create my own coaching business.

Life presents us with moments where the universe extends a lifeline. Our mind may find countless reasons to resist, but deep down, our soul knows it's the only way to go.

Just as I settled into the serene South Island of New Zealand, fate led me to stumble upon a website for a co-working office in Auckland—a hub for purpose-driven businesses. To my astonishment, The Workshop Auckland was seeking a community manager who would receive strategic support for their own business in return. It seemed too good to be true, but without hesitation, I reached out to the CEO. The very next day, an interview was scheduled, and to my surprise, she asked if I could start in just one week.

Despite the doubtful concerns expressed by some close to me, I felt an exhilarating rush of excitement, assuring me that pursuing this opportunity was undoubtedly the right path.

Embracing the wisdom of experienced coaches and nurturing my holistic well-being—mind, body, and spirit—has become my secret to success.

Opening a business, establishing efficient operations, and embracing holistic well-being practices laid the groundwork. Surrounded by a community of inspiring coaches, visionary leaders, and spiritually awakened creators, my productivity reached new heights. I set up a website, attended conscious gatherings, and engaged in meaningful conversations that evolved into coaching agreements.

Witnessing the impact I had on people’s lives was immensely fulfilling. Then came the moment of organizing my first workshop, with 23 enthusiastic participants, and a wave of pride washed over me. Reflecting on my journey, I couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. It all started with that life-changing opportunity in New Zealand.

Embracing an unconventional path of service is undeniably challenging. It's filled with obstacles and tests your resilience. But amidst the hardships, the key to breaking through lies in unshakable self-belief.

I poured my heart and soul into my work, and the impact was undeniable. People felt seen, understood, and began entrusting me with their deepest truths. From struggles with unfulfillment and toxic relationships to bullying, harassment, and even thoughts of self-harm, they turned to me for support. At first, it was overwhelming, and I felt a sense of fear.

But deep down, I knew that true transformation starts by healing our inner wounds. I sought guidance from psychologists and psychotherapists, and dedicated myself to understanding how to best support my clients in their unique situations. The knowledge and wisdom I’ve gained through this collaboration is truly invaluable.

Unfortunately, my return to Europe coincided with the onset of the Corona restrictions, which greatly limited my ability to engage with my old network and organize in-person workshops. Just as I was supposed to build momentum, I was forced to slow down.

Amidst uncertainty, every situation holds multiple perspectives. In the midst of Corona, a gift emerged—a chance to pause, reflect, and gather strength. I took steps back, poised to leap forward.

I embraced the path ahead, knowing there was no turning back. Recognizing the vastness of the online coaching industry, I delved into extensive research to establish a robust online presence. It took nearly a year to create a business framework that caters to my clients’ needs while prioritizing my own well-being.

Completing business coaching with Lisa Princic in 2021, designing sellable coaching programs, and overcoming self-doubt to secure high-ticket clients, I now serve my clients more effectively

My coaching packages are meticulously crafted, blending psychological, spiritual, and real-life perspectives, tailored to those who are ready to put in the necessary work.

If my message resonates with you, I sincerely hope to be your trusted ally.

You don’t have to uproot your life and spend years searching for your purpose-driven path.

All it takes is a courageous decision to invest in yourself and join me on a discovery call.

There are no obligations. Remember, your life will always be in your hands, and the choices you make are yours to own!
