Clarity. Impact. Belonging.

for Women Leading in Engineering

Where strategic thinking meets embodied insight.

My coaching integrates the systems thinking of my engineering leadership background with somatic and mindfulness-based methods grounded in neuroscience.

Through embodied insight, you move beyond cognitive understanding and develop a felt sense, in your body, of the vision you’re pursuing and the actions to take next.

The result is uncovering what holds you back and stepping into a professional and entrepreneurial path that feels fulfilling, sustainable, and aligned with your values and vision.

Weekly Mindfulness Meditation — join me for a live 20-minute guided session. Every Wednesday, 8am CET.

Hi, I am Larisa Amariei.

I’m an Engineering Leader and Somatic Coach based in Berlin. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with startups from early stage to unicorn status, building products used by millions.

My curiosity about the human experience, along with a desire to understand what makes high performance truly sustainable, led me to meditation. Later, I trained in Somatic Coaching, Neuroscience and Mindfulness, learning to integrate strategic thinking with embodied awareness.

Today, I support professionals, leaders, and entrepreneurs in cultivating inner clarity and momentum, so they can act with confidence towards their vision.

Testimonials

"I had the pleasure to collaborate with Larisa during an important moment in my life and my career, right after coming back from Maternity Leave and while experiencing an entire restructure of the team I used to lead.

The time we shared together helped me to better understand my inner needs and my short term expectations, based on the thoughts and the feelings inspired by Larisa's questions.

I was also surprised to get the chance to truly connect with myself during our sessions; Larisa guided me through insightful questions as she created a safe space where I could connect with my body, my mind and my emotions.

As a consequence I felt inspired to discover my new mission and what I want to achieve as a professional in the short and medium term."

They helped me to read and understand my body's reactions to emotions and life challenges, the gut reactions that you can't manipulate or hide.

Each session has been a revelation. I highly recommend."
