"I can highly recommend Aletta's interactive online coaching. Aletta makes you feel comfortable to open up about yourself and to get the most out of your coaching experience. Although we were miles apart, I felt like sitting face to face with her."

"Aletta made me reach my coach goal in only 5 sessions. My self confidence and consciousness have increased tremendously and I am much less blocked by my perfectionism. Aletta supported me to understand who I am as a person and how specific characteristics, experiences, and feelings affect my personal and professional life. By asking the right questions that stimulate deep self-reflection, she was able to bring real clarity in my thought-processes and simultaneously equip me to improve my day-to-day decision making as well as my longer term vision."
