Come home to yourself through conflict and growth coaching
I'm Masha Rusanov. My work is to help you transform conflict into freedom, whether it's the inner tension that leaves you feeling like something is off even when you've done everything right, or struggles in your relationships with others.
I guide you from a life lived out of fear to one of courage, helping you show up authentically, trust your truth, and feel unshakeable in who you are and what you want. This profound shift redefines how you relate to yourself and others, and the legacy you pass on to future generations.
My work has helped my clients navigate the most complex, high-stakes relational conflicts from hostile co-parenting dynamics and blended family stress to facilitating high-level communication workshops for teams at companies like Google. The fear is the same, no matter the stakes. I teach you how to choose courage.
Coming Home To Yourself
Maybe you’ve built a life that looks fine on the outside, but something is missing. You replay choices, stretch yourself to meet expectations, and wonder where your true needs got lost in the process. I help you pause, really listen to yourself, and find the courage to live in a way that feels safe, true to you, and completely free.
feeling at Home With Others
Relationships can be complicated, especially in blended families, co-parenting, or during times of change. Misunderstandings pile up, and connections start feeling shaky. I guide families and partners to communicate with clarity, set boundaries with compassion, and create an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and heard.

My Method: Exhale–Explore–Engage™
1
Exhale
We start by pausing. A breath, a moment of stillness, a step back from the noise. This is where you create space to notice what’s really happening beneath the surface, instead of running on autopilot.
2
Explore
With that space, curiosity opens. We look gently at what matters most to you — your values, your truth, the needs that have been buried under expectations. This is where the real you begins to come into focus.
3
Engage
This is where change takes root. With clarity, you can communicate with honesty, set boundaries with compassion, and make choices that reflect who you are. This is how you begin to live your truth and find your way home.
It's Nice To Meet You!
Hi, I’m Masha. My deepest joy is helping people find their way back to themselves, to a life that feels safe, true, and fully theirs.
For a long time, I lived by the rules of what was expected. On paper, I did everything “right.” I had the career, the marriage, the picture-perfect life. But underneath, I was restless. So I began searching for what was missing. I experimented with open relationships, stepped outside convention, and pushed myself to discover what was real for me. What I found, unexpectedly, was that my “home” wasn’t in endless experimentation. It was in choosing a traditional marriage again — this time as part of a blended family built on honesty, courage, and conscious choice.
That’s what I bring into my work: not just professional training in conflict resolution and coaching, but lived experience in testing boundaries, disappointing expectations, and finally finding where I truly belong.
If you’re ready to untangle the patterns that hold you back and come home to yourself, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
