Meet Anya

CERTIFIED LIFE COACH AND YOUR MENTOR IN TRANSFORMATION

Have you ever truly been seen for who you are?

Given the space to express yourself with no judgement, no interruptions, no ulterior motives. Have you ever been held in reverence, love, and respect?

I am the healthy feminine mirror that will help you awaken your gifts so you can start taking up the space you deserve in the world.

You are here to lead with potency, power, and presence. 

I’m Anya Shakh-

your coach in transformation.

For nearly a decade I’ve helped men come home to their true gifts, step into their power, and attract the relationships they want.

  • Certified in transformational coaching + EQ training (MITT)

  • Apprenticed in Jungian + inner child psychology

  • Trained with top men’s coaches and psychotherapists worldwide (Connor Beaton, Traver Boehm, Duey Freeman, Rodrigo de la Plata)

  • Guided tens of men through breakthroughs in confidence, relationships, and purpose

Traditional talk therapy is geared towards women, my coaching is built for helping men get what they need so they can powerfully move forward in their lives.

In 2016 I started coaching with the emotional training & leadership organization, MITT (Mastery in Transformational Techniques). I found that I had a gift for helping the men that I coached heal in a profound way. Shortly afterward I met a psychotherapist who became my mentor for 2 years specializing in Jungian Psychology. Since then I've done countless trainings, certifications, and workshops that have helped me learn how to get men incredible results in their lives.

What the men are saying…

  • I felt completely supported, understood, and empowered to tackle the challenges I was facing.

    I had the privilege of working with Anya, she is an amazing coach, and the experience has been nothing short of transformative. Anya has an incredible ability to ask the right questions, helping me gain clarity on my goals and the obstacles that were holding me back. I highly recommend working with her!

  • There are no combination of words that can say the impact on the work Anya does and how it has affected me.

    It was like turning a desert oasis into a planetarium of lush and fresh life. I could not imagine how much future success could have been attained without the work we did together, with the breaking down of barriers I did not know was there. The energy, knowledge, patience, and understanding she brings to the table showed me a future I did not know I had. From the bottom of my heart, and from the depths of my being, thank you.

  • Working with Anya was transformative.

    Her diligence prepping for each session made the time very productive and she showed her deep knowledge around her expertise and taught it well during both sessions and outside. The HW was insightful and the tools and knowledge gained will be useful for decades to come. I’d recommend her to anyone willing to put in hard work to better themselves.
