“The coaching sessions with Dina were interesting and extremely helpful in preparing me for my studies and work life. Using different techniques and methods that I didn’t know before have helped me to be less stressed about the future and to have a more open and positive perspective.

Dina’s on one hand warm and at the same time professional manner also made the environment of the coaching sessions very pleasant. I can highly recommend meeting with Dina!”

—Alexander Otto, Interdisciplinary Student in Sustainability, France, Career coaching

“Dina is a very experienced leader, coach and project manager. She’s amazing! I’ve personally benefited from her coaching, which helped me focus and hone my strengths.

Dina was also a leader of a team I worked on. How she brought the team energy, spirit and engagement together really brought the most out of each of us as individuals and even more powerfully as a team.

I can only highly recommend Dina and hope we have the chance to work together again in the future. “

—Eleanor Collins, Global Change Management Office Lead, F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Individual Strengths Coaching

“Dina is an absolutely outstanding coach and collaborator. I had the pleasure of working with Dina over several months when she served as a StrengthsFinder coach to my [newly formed] team…

After assessing our needs, Dina went above and beyond to build tailored individual and group sessions that were incredibly effective for achieving our goals…

Dina’s warmth and joyful demeanor make her an absolute delight to work with. She’s truly one of the best team coaches I’ve worked with over the past ten years.”

—Eydith Comenenzia Ortiz, Founder & CEO, CONECTA Partners, Team Strengths Coaching

“Dina supported me through a pretty huge transition in my professional life.

She is a beautiful soul who has such a rare blend of pragmatic, professional knowledge and intuitive, heartfelt wisdom.

She gave me the space and support I needed to find my way, and did it with a ton of compassion, challenging me in a way that felt empowering rather than confrontational.

If you’re looking for a highly personalised coaching experience that feels deeply different from coaching you’ve experienced before, you’re in the right place!“ 

—Senior executive, Media industry, Individual Coaching

“The workshop felt – in a positive way – like group therapy. Meeting like-minded people who face similar challenges like my own was a true eye-opener to me.

Not only did I get useful tips out of the conversations, the entire setup of the group helped me to realise that other people faced similar struggles, insecurities and motivations along their individual paths towards career-change and personal re-invention.

In addition, my own contributions to the group might’ve even been helpful to some of the others as well. I left with my mind in a somewhat calmed state of contentment and a positive attitude towards my future, together with a number of additional contacts of interesting people I would otherwise have never met.”

“Dina helped to shape a “strength finder” workshop to carve out individual and collective strengths of our team. Dina offered 1:1 coaching sessions and was a creative partner in designing a fit-for-purpose workshop. Dina was a creative partner looking for the best solution for our setting, the workshop was very well received and had a lasting impact on our team.”

—Dr. Andreas Weinzierl, Head of Marketing, Roche Switzerland, Team Strengths Coaching

“Dina is an inspirational and amazing coach – she helped our dynamic and complex team with strengthfinder workshops – customized for each chapter with great detail and diligence. Dina actively listens to her clients and tailors the programs to create the best value and impact for the team.

Her sessions helped us to be a stronger team – and we continued to keep her as our coach as she showed great value. Also, Dina has a great talent in connecting with people and maintaining relationships. I can only highly recommend Dina and believe she will be a great asset to any team.”

—Aysem Oznel, Patient Partnership Director, F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Team Strengths Coaching

“I have learnt so much through these Gestalt labs – they have transformed my coaching and have even influenced how I engage with people outside of coaching relationships.

Dina communicates the Gestalt concepts with clarity, warmth and calmness, bringing great depth and meaning to the themes in each session.

Through these labs I also got to know some fantastic coaches as we learnt and practiced together in the collegiate atmosphere that emerged very naturally thanks to Dina’s stewardship of the sessions.”

—Jo Elms, Director, TopHat Discovery CIC, Gestalt Coaching Practice Labs 2025

“I am so incredibly grateful to have been part of these labs and so glad I signed up! I can honestly say that it’s one of the best things I’ve done this year for my personal and coaching development.

Dina’s warmth and wisdom makes the room a wonderful place to be, and she also teaches gestalt in a way that is easy to digest and put into practice.

I looked forward to each lab (and a little sad when it came to an end) and I met some incredible people which I am very grateful for.

Thank you.”

“It was lovely meeting Dina, she has a great energy, is very thoughtful and had some great insights and ideas. We were able to come up with a concrete action plan which I was very happy with, and enthusiastic to start implementing. Dina is strongly empathetic and has a real desire to understand and help people. Highly recommended.”

—Neil Press, Director in Global Discovery Chemistry, Individual Coaching

“I worked with Dina over five coaching sessions, and the experience was enlightening and enjoyable. Dina held the space with great care, so that I felt safe and courageous in exploring my goals and aspects of my personality, and in realising how these connect and can help me move towards my goals.

She encouraged visualisation, which allowed me to explore my goals in an imaginative and creative way. That was interesting, and those images have stayed with me. Dina is a compassionate and expert coach with a range of skills and tools that she applies in just the right way, at the right time.

I’d highly recommend her coaching to anyone who wants to explore their personal or professional motivations and move towards specific outcomes.”
