Rea Shahroudi

Rea was a wonderful teacher and guide. She made me feel seen, understood and not judged. She shared her knowledge with humility and kindness and immediately made me feel safe and at ease. She’s very empathetic whilst also being very rational. She taught me how to communicate my feelings and to connect with my feminine energy. Over the years, I guess I developed certain self defence mechanisms, avoiding my feelings from fear of being judged. Rea was instrumental in me overcoming certain fears and finding a voice to express my needs. She taught me to set boundaries which I’m very grateful for. I found every bit of advice came from a place of truth and sincerity. She cares. She’s on this journey with you which is something I’ve never experienced before. It’s like having a friend or confidant that gives you the best advice without any judgement.

I have seen Rea for 3 sessions now, during which she has coached me through the identification of the various values and roles I've adopted in life. She has further helped me re-assess these roles and values in an effort to define clearer goals moving forward. This has proved tremendously effective in letting go of ideas or plans that I was hanging on to out of sheer habit or due to false assumptions. I am currently in the process of letting go of some of these false roles or values and instead letting simmer the roles I have consciously chosen to keep. In my next session with Rea I hope to identify a coherent mission as well as a strategy for accomplishing it.

Throughout this time I have found Rea to be an excellent listener. She patiently listens as I'm thinking out loud trying to answer her questions, occasionally picking out strands of ideas from my answers to help me put together the pieces of the puzzle. She has a natural ability to provide a safe and caring space in which one can face one's past from the vantage point of a comfortable and achievable future.

I had the opportunity to be coached by Ms. Rea Shahroudi.

I heard of NLP coaching and even read books about the practice without having been in a position to experience it before.
I was worried about my inability to activate my career path.
The situation has been on for several years, facing ongoing roadblocks.
I reached a point of frustration where I was no longer able to connect with other professionals in a constructive and long-term manner.

The coaching with Ms. Shahroudi took place over a two months period, sharing and releasing triggers one by one while activating solutions to also strengthen my confidence through guided exercises.

I learned and accepted the idea that one of the dominant aspects of my personality was being a people pleaser and a rescuer.
I realized that those two patterns combined have seriously impacted my life in general and my career in particular while regularly putting me in emotional distress.

While releasing the emotional side, Ms. Sharoudi got me to see and work on my own strengths and helped me identify my goals.

Along the process, I found Ms. Sharoudi very efficient in active listening, she quickly understood my position and proficiently helped me move forward using what I felt were the right tools.

I now experience concrete changes in my professional environment, in my ability to communicate with others, in my ability to lead a project, and on top of it by drastically lowering my emotional level.
