The conflict is never with them. It's within you.
It's the friction between who you've been and who you are becoming.
You've done the work. You can narrate your own patterns in your sleep. And still, you find yourself losing the negotiation with your own nervous system.
I work with self-aware people who can see their patterns clearly and still can’t stop repeating them. I don’t teach "communication tools" or "reaction management." I help you interrupt the pattern at the level where it starts, before it becomes a reaction, a word, or a wall.
Stop managing the conflict. Start transforming it.
Why Work with me
I've been exactly where you are. I sat with the quiet truth that my marriage wasn't working and neither was my career -- and stayed anyway, because leaving felt impossible and staying felt safe. What finally moved me was the exhaustion of pretending.
I bring a molecular biologist's instinct for patterns, a decade in tech, and a Master's in Conflict Resolution to every session.
I know what it costs to tell the truth about what you want, and what it takes to live it.
My clients describe the work as being lifted from a place they couldn't have left alone. Deeper and gentler than they expected.
Conflict & Relationship Clarity
Whether the conflict is inside you or between you and others, the work is the same: learning to pause, listen to what's really happening, and respond from your truth rather than your conditioning. This work applies whether you're questioning a marriage, co-parenting with a difficult ex, challenging family dynamics, or ready to stop people-pleasing and find your voice.
DEEP UNDERSTANDING through Pattern Synthesis
Some questions don't yield to logic alone. I combine technology-enriched pattern analysis with human-led intuitive coaching to reveal what's actually driving the situations and decisions that matter most to you. Using your unique blueprint, I create a personalized synthesis that cuts through the noise and makes everything finally click into place.

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 be able 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 your urge is and what is behind it: 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 we flip the script. With clarity, you can choose how to communicate during intense moments and make choices that are aligned with 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.
