Client Testimonials
“I have gained a new perspective on difficulties and tensions I have struggled with for a long time. I am pleased that the conversations had a greater depth than I imagined. Many thanks for your wise guidance in the conversations”
“Mental training is very important! I have many times experienced that it does not matter how many hours I practice scales and etudes or analyze structure and harmony if I am not present and know what my goal is with my practising. I wish i could take this course continuously during music education.”
“I´m so grateful for the coaching during this difficult time in my life.
I reached my goal that was to be more focused and relaxed. Through coaching I have released tensions and now I feel more free practicing the violin and in general.”
“A big thing for me was in the various meditation exercises to dare to open the otherwise closed door to different future scenarios. I have become better at replace “must” for “want”, which has made me more productive but above all less anxious.”
“After this course I believe more in my self.”
“The coaching made me question, realize and accept so many parts of me and also take me forward. I have been greatly helped by Annika´s support in all the challenges of life and my brain. She caught my values and always led me back to what is important to me in the conversation.”
“From you I have learned that I can not change other people, but I can change my own thoughts about them.”
“Annika´s ability to gather all the thoughts and threads was very helpful to me. Her open and warm personality must also be mentioned as a big plus!
My experience of being coached is very positive and instructive and especially towards the end, as an Aha experience. Many thanks!”
“It was not quite what I expected from the beginning but gave something else that is even more important for my development.”
“Everything we have talked about and all the exercises we have done I will be able to use in the future. I also like the meditation moments.”
“I have improved my willpower when I feel non energetic or unmotivated and I have learned that i can do more than i think i can do. I am happy I felt safe and understood in each session. I could talk about everything, even what I have not been able to share with other people before. I am so glad to have had this amazing opportunity.”
“In the course you get to learn how we function mentally and get strategies to be able to influence it. Take responsibility and steer instead of going along. I have learned to access what I want within me in many more situations. Acceptance is my best weapon. Thanks!”
“I have learned that I can do more than I think I can. Also that the obsticles I have the most are mental obsticles, and I can work with them! Before it has felt impossible, but now I have collected a small mental toolbox to use. I would like to have more lessons like this next semester as well.”
“For me, the best part of the coaching was Annika´s presence in the moment. I have achieved a more forgiving way of dealing with myself and I believe I also got better at dealing with professional rejection in an audition. I should remain confident, happy and proud of who I am and should not let other people disturb this state.
Thank you for your help!”
“I realized that a lot of things we talked about were already in my thoughts, but I needed further external encouragements and reminders to look inside me and take out what needed.”
“I have learned that I need to let go of things that are beyond my control. This in turn means that I relax more and can concentrate better. Thank you for holding the course during the autumn and for letting me join!”

“The best thing about the course has been all the discussions and being able to think and share. It then feels as if there are no wrong answers.”
“I feel that I became both relaxed in the muscles and in the thoughts of following the training program. It gives me an inner piece.”
I have learned that I am glad that me is me and there are a lot of values in me that I did not notice until now. Mental training should be introduced for every class, step by step. When I tell someone about the course I will say that it is a course where you can arrange your thoughts, where you can see that not only you are fighting with this kind of unconfidence”
“I think everyone needs tools to deal with their performance anxiety, which can be a lot of in this profession. The course is practical and concrete and provides access to different tools within mental training/ relaxation/ stress management. I have realized the importance of relaxation exercises for a situation where I get nervous. For me, that insight is very important.”
