Soul & inner work with Marina

A home
within yourself.

Marina Michaelis, coach for inner work and identity work at Creative Home

You don't have to become better or more perfect, you are simply allowed to be yourself again, and I'll walk that path with you. You have carried everything you need inside you for a long time, sometimes it just takes a loving nudge. With Creative Home I have created exactly this space for you. A place where you can feel clearly again, choose bravely and lovingly arrive with yourself, with as much warmth and depth as feels good for you. And yes, an honest laugh and a good drink are sometimes part of it.

Marina Michaelis, coach and founder of Creative Home
This is me

I believe in
quiet change.

I'm Marina, certified systemic & psychological coach, creative director with over 10 years of experience, podcaster for more than 7 years, and from now on your new, good friend.

I won't tell you anything out of clever books. Because I see us all as children living this life for the very first time, and I can't tell you how life works perfectly either. But I have lived through and worked through a lot and at some point I stepped out of a life that looked perfect from the outside but felt completely wrong on the inside. I know this feeling of only functioning instead of living. And I know how loud the silence is when you suddenly start to really listen.

In my work I combine psychological coaching and nervous system work with aesthetic intelligence. Because as a designer I simply see beauty everywhere, so you'd better have pen and paper ready when you work with me.

I don't tell you what to do. I'm the person who keeps asking until your own answer comes from within.

Coaching topics

Many spaces,
where we can meet each other.

These are only examples, not a rigid list. Everything that moves you has space here. We listen together to what is alive right now and go step by step at your pace.

01

Getting started when everything feels like too much

Burnout prevention · Stress management · ACT coaching · Nervous system work

Where do you begin when it all becomes too much?

You function, but it no longer feels like living, only like working through a list. Maybe you sleep badly, maybe there is this quiet feeling of „this can't go on like this“, without you being able to say why. We don't start with a solution, we start with you: what is actually still carrying you right now, and what is only draining you? From there, clarity and room to breathe come back step by step.

02

Finding meaning & reorientation

Life transitions · Reorientation · Life coaching

Who am I when the old role falls away?

A change of job, a separation, a move, the end of a chapter of life that was your home for a long time, or simply the feeling that something new wants to come without you knowing what. These transitions are uncomfortable, but they are also the most honest moments to really take a look: who are you when nobody tells you who you should be? Here we shape this phase consciously instead of just getting through it.

03

Relationship patterns & female work

Relationship coaching · Attachment patterns · Constellation work · Dating coaching

Relationship begins with yourself.

Whether it's dating, an existing partnership or the question of why you keep making yourself small in relationships: from seven years of a female podcast and hundreds of real conversations, I know the patterns that repeat themselves. Fear of loss, people pleasing, the fear of being too much or not enough. We look at what is really happening below the surface, in you, not just in the relationship itself.

04

Inner work & beliefs

Belief work · Depth work · Inner work

The sentence that has been running in the background for years.

I have to be perfect to be valuable. I'm not allowed to want too much. If I stand out, I become vulnerable. Sentences like these often come into being early in life and have been running along like an old programme ever since, without us questioning them. With methods like The Work and belief archaeology, we go exactly to where the sentence comes from, what it once protected you from and which sentence is truer for you today.

05

Shadow work & creative freedom

Shadow work · Self-sabotage · Creative blocks

What bothers you about others says something about you.

Perfectionism, self-sabotage, the feeling of being blocked even though you actually know what you want. Often these are not character flaws but split-off parts that had a good reason to come into being. We don't turn them into enemies, we listen to them. Especially for creative people, this often opens the way back to an expression that feels free again instead of controlled.

06

Soul Design Program

Burnout coaching for creatives · Creative direction · B2B coaching

For creatives, teams and agencies who function but are exhausted on the inside.

Creative directors, designers, studio owners or whole teams in agencies: professionally you arrived long ago, but inwardly you are at a limit. My signature programme combines nervous system work, identity clarification and creative direction into a clear process, available as 1:1, online or directly with you in your team.

What people say,
after they have been here.

"
I came in with the feeling that I actually had everything under control and at the same time I knew that wasn't quite true. Marina didn't try to calm me down. She simply listened and gave me the right questions and tasks until I noticed myself where things were really stuck. Looking forward to more sessions with you.

I have achieved a lot and still felt unfulfilled, this feeling stayed with me for so long until I decided to get to the bottom of it. After a few sessions I learned more about myself and feel more free!
Jonas K.
Project Manager
"
I went there exhausted, that was actually the whole reason. What I hadn't expected was that afterwards I wasn't only more rested, but also clearer about what I actually want. Clarity was especially important to me and I found it. And it has stayed that way, even months later.

Zanzibar retreat – coaching and time out at the beach with Creative Home
Retreat · Zanzibar

A home for a while is growing
on Zanzibar.

Together with my dearest friend and co-podcast host Anni, I found a second home on Zanzibar. This is also where I found out who I really am when I listen closely. I let myself fall into it completely and I love this version of me. That's what I would like to share with you!

Very soon a coaching & retreat (aka "adventure treat") will come to life there. A space where we combine the vastness of the ocean and the freedom this place has given us with real depth work.

If you feel like being part of it from the very beginning or simply want to find out more, just get in touch with me. Then I'll share all the news, updates, dates and first insights with you personally.

Initial conversation

Let's get to know
each other in peace.

No obligation, a short conversation to sense whether we are a good match. You are warmly invited. Just write to me by email or use WhatsApp, I answer personally.
