I believe that every person is naturally a bold, authentic, and impactful speaker. My passion is to guide you back to that version of yourself — to help you reconnect with who you truly are.

Even though I already have a lot of experience, I still sometimes wonder before a presentation how much I should prepare and how much I should trust what will emerge in the moment. The most valuable part of working with Kristina was having the opportunity to talk through my next presentation and gain clarity on the one key message I wanted to leave with my audience. Her questions helped me notice things I hadn't taken the time to think about myself. At the same time, she also reassured me that I didn't need to change much. I left with greater trust in preparing my presentations in the way that feels most natural to me. Kristina's greatest strength as a mentor is her ability to adapt to the person she's working with. She quickly senses where you are on your journey, asks the right questions, and helps create clarity exactly where it will move you forward the most. She has something valuable to offer everyone—from beginners to experienced speakers whose challenges lie in the next layers of their development. I now feel more confident about my upcoming presentation. I know my preparation is enough, and the rest will happen through my connection with the audience and the room. Our session gave me a greater sense of inner calm, and for me, the best presentations always come from that place of calm.

I will never go back to doing presentations the way I used to — with too much information on slides, using them as a script so I wouldn’t forget anything important and relying on them as support. After the mentoring, I was able to speak almost completely without slides, without any problem at all. It felt so good and free. Thank you for encouraging me!

I felt safe on the conference stage because I knew Kristina had reviewed my talk. My message was clear, and people understood it. And even more — your training has been so good that I can speak without slides and even adapt my talk on stage. I feel flexible.

One of my biggest challenges has been that the anxiety starts the moment I receive a speaking invitation. It affects me so much that it becomes difficult to live normally. I can prepare, practice, and know all the techniques for structuring a presentation, but none of that takes the feeling away. During our mentorship, you helped me see it from a different perspective. One idea that really stayed with me was that I could focus more on the message itself, rather than on how many people are in the audience, whether every word comes out perfectly, or how I appear to myself and others. I felt that throughout our conversation, you helped reduce that anxiety. I left the session feeling really good, and somehow I felt energized and empowered. I even found myself thinking that I wanted to find the next opportunity to speak as soon as possible. And if I received a speaking invitation right now, I would absolutely say yes.

I met Kristina before I was about to host a webinar. I felt a bit uncomfortable about it, especially the selling part, as it’s not something I naturally enjoy. After the session with Kristina, I felt lighter and was able to approach the selling part calmly and without any discomfort.

Thank you for being an awesome team leader at Speaking Academy, Kristina! You were so warm hearted, patient and energetic.

As soon as I received the invitation to speak, my mind immediately started racing with everything I thought I should talk about. I was constantly thinking about it. I felt like I had so many ideas, but at the same time I felt insecure and afraid. Throughout the mentoring, I developed self-trust, gained clarity about what I actually wanted to share, and reached a point where I felt that no matter what happened on stage, I would be able to handle it. The practical exercises were incredibly helpful. Rehearsing the presentation, practicing different situations, and preparing together helped all the pieces come together and gave me real clarity. The mentoring helped me move quickly, systematically, and successfully from a place of insecurity to genuine confidence in just four sessions. Instead of fear, I started feeling excited and genuinely looking forward to speaking. My first webinar went better than I could have imagined. It was such a rewarding experience. I naturally applied everything we had practiced, including using pauses and varying my voice. I felt comfortable while speaking, handled unexpected questions with confidence, and the participants told me the webinar was engaging and inspiring. Thank you so much! I am more than happy that I reached out to you instead of trying to figure it all out on my own. It was an amazing first speaking experience!

I came with confusion about what is my main message as a speaker and why am I doing this. During mentoring I felt really seen and supported. I really liked that you connected with my issues. You created a space where I felt supported and understood. It was also really practical. I liked that you were giving tools that actually grounded everything we talked about. It's valuable that it's one-to-one. Until now, I had one piece here and another piece there. I had to connect all the different pieces myself and figure out what to learn next. What I really like is that you combine all of it in one place — body and voice training, storytelling, and communication. That has been really valuable for me. I'm leaving with clarity. I know now what my main message is and I got clarity on that. Now I'm much clearer about my passion and why I do this.

I've given plenty of presentations, but 4 days before a high-stakes speech, I still didn't know what I was really trying to say. One session with Kristina changed that completely. Through her process, I moved from scattered and anxious to genuinely clear. Not just about my message, but about the unique value only I could bring to that room. What surprised me most was how she helped me think about my audience: suddenly the speech didn't feel like a performance I had to survive, but like sharing something meaningful with dear friends around a dinner table. If you have an important talk coming up, don't wait. Kristina is extraordinary at this.

I came into speech mentoring with the challenge that I found it difficult to express myself, present things at work, and feel confident in front of others. I felt insecure and had little experience, partly because I avoided speaking opportunities and held myself back. I also had my master’s thesis defense coming up, which I wanted to complete successfully and confidently. During our collaboration, I learned how to reduce the tendency to rely on slides. Many people tend to immediately build their presentation around slides — I used to do the same, but not anymore. Now I tell my own story even when I have slides. I also learned how important preparation really is — not just preparing slides, but thinking through the flow, the narrative, and the story I am going to deliver. Even if it’s a legal or technical presentation, simply putting information on slides is not preparation. Real preparation is thinking through the coherence and flow of the message. After the mentoring, I gained the courage to bring more of myself into presentations — to add a human touch, even in academic settings. I would not have dared to do that before. At the same time, I experienced how to approach speaking in a more relaxed, less stressful way. Now I feel completely calm before presentations. I received so many practical tools, exercises, and valuable feedback. I now have a system and a framework for how to prepare for speaking, and that gives me real confidence and clarity.

The best team leader I could ask for!

Thank you for your incredible support during Speaking Academy.

You have a message to tell the world, a strong message to share and you have a lovely personality as a speaker.

You have amazing energy and a lot of passion towards speaking and helping people.

Kristina speaks from the heart with a passion that captivates and connects on a deeply human level. Her authenticity and relatability make her message not only inspiring but truly unforgettable.

I really appreciated your pace, listening, and feedback. I felt safe and supported throughout the entire process. You have an amazing ability to help me select my thoughts, highlight important details, and set my message and focus. It's incredible how you manage to listen, be present, take notes, and still send me the important details in writing afterward. I feel very positive and much more confident going on stage after working with you. Thank you so much!

Public speaking has always been a difficult topic for me, and I’ve spent a lot of time trying to understand what actually helps. There are so many different approaches — some focus on the nervous system, others on preparation, others on messaging — and until now, it has felt unclear where the focus should really be. My session with Kristina helped me shift my focus more towards joy and enjoyment. Instead of worrying so much about what is happening in my body, whether I am grounded enough, or how to get rid of the anxiety, I started focusing more on what I actually want to say and what I want people to take away from it. That shift takes the focus away from the physical symptoms and their intensity and places it back on the message itself. The feeling I left the mentorship with was peace of mind. Our conversation reduced the pressure I had been carrying, normalized the experience, and helped me focus much more on joy and enjoyment.

Kristina is incredibly inspiring, brave, amazing, honest, and authentic—both as a trainer and simply as a person. It's truly impressive how Kristina has skillfully and subtly, yet also supportively and motivatingly, pushed me to expand my own boundaries when it comes to public speaking, making videos, and being visible.

I was truly captivated by Kristina's training; it fully engaged me, and I gained many new tips for further self-expression in public on social media.

I appreciated that when the topic was authentic and courageous self-expression, Kristina as a trainer truly embodies just that: being authentic and brave, sharing openly about her own experiences, mistakes, and lessons learned, which made it easier for me to open up as well.

Thank you for your authentic and heartfelt performance at the Uus Maa autumn conference. It was an eye-opening experience and also created many powerful moments of recognition.

The support she provides—how she boosts your self-belief, instills confidence, and pushes you forward to finally record that video or deliver that presentation—is truly invaluable.

Thank you for our session. It helped me think through my role as a moderator, my purpose, and the key messages I wanted to convey much more clearly, while keeping my focus sharp. What I especially appreciated was how you encouraged me to bring in a more personal perspective and share more of my own experiences. I have always known that this is an important element, but until now I hadn't really been willing to include that side of myself. I gave it a try — and it worked. It created a much more immediate, genuine, and authentic experience, both for the participants and for myself.

Kristina is a trainer who has a very calming presence and creates a safe space for openness. Her feedback is thorough and encouraging. She conveys topics in a clear and simple way, making her a pleasure to listen to.

You are a clear, natural, sensitive, and authentic trainer. During the training, I felt truly engaged because your energy remained steady and present. You are inclusive and attentive to everyone.

Kristina brings a refreshing authenticity to the stage. She speaks with a natural ease that makes you feel like you're in conversation with a friend – relaxed, relatable, and real. What stood out most? Her sense of humor! She weaves it in so effortlessly, adding just the right touch of lightness without ever losing depth. A joy to listen to – and to learn from.

The mentoring was very helpful in understanding how to structure a speech technically, tell stories, and combine both personal and professional experiences. You encouraged me not to be afraid and to be authentic. The conference went surprisingly well – I was fully present in the moment and able to express exactly what I wanted. Most importantly, I fulfilled my greatest wish: to inspire women and be a source of support for them.

Kristina helped me prepare for the biggest audience of my life – and I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor! In just two sessions, she gave me a crystal-clear structure for my talk, helped me see exactly what to emphasize (and what to skip), and gave me an incredible boost of confidence. Her emotional support was just as valuable as her practical guidance. Honestly, I can’t imagine pulling off this talk without her. Forever grateful!

The self-expression workshop really resonated with me. It was a great reminder that our own voice and message are what truly matter. It also gave me a lot to think about — especially on how to approach any kind of public speaking with more confidence.

The atmosphere in the room was so warm and pleasant! The things you learn or the information you receive during the training stay with you afterwards, but the most important thing is the teeling you leave with. And I saw the feeling the participants left with - that spoke for itself.

In theory, I had learned these things before in different trainings, but during the mentorship program it was such an intense period that I had to actually put everything into practice. That hands-on experience and learning by doing was so important. Otherwise, you just hear how things should be done, and then when it’s time to speak, you feel like you’re starting from zero again. But when I consistently worked on it – with the homework and the exercises during the sessions – that’s what really built me up. That’s why I was able to do so well in my speech after the mentorship.

I was very excited about the mentorship session because I am at a point in my career where I want to share my message more widely and more intentionally. During the session, I realized how easy it is to place your focus on the wrong things — to worry about details that are not actually the most important. What matters most is the message and how you deliver it. I left the session feeling free, empowered, and much more at ease. I worry less now, and I know that what I have to share is valuable. I know that I can do it — I simply need to practice. I am deeply, deeply grateful. 🤍

Thank you, thank you, thank you once again! For bringing order to my chaos and helping me find focus. Your guidance and notes were absolutely amazing – they aligned and simplified my role as a moderator so much.

Your storytelling training was something much more than just another workshop. With your voice, message, and presence, you truly reach people’s hearts. You engaged the audience and gave everyone the chance to speak and share. As a trainer, you are professional, warm, genuine, and natural. You’re a joy to listen to, to watch, and so easy to relate to.

I haven’t dared to speak in public since I was a child — every time, a strange trembling would go through my body. The tips and techniques I learned during the mentoring helped me a lot, because so much has changed. After completing the mentoring program, I didn’t feel that trembling at all when I had to speak, and that felt completely different. It’s really true — practice is the most important thing. You have to combine theory with practice so that the knowledge gets stored in your body, because physical experience is what truly stays with you. I’m so thankful to you!

I consider Kristina a dream mentor – someone who genuinely wants to help and support. She has a special ability to easily bring out the courage and authenticity in each person – qualities so many of us are searching for, even though they’ve been within us all along. With simple and easy-to-follow steps, Kristina helped me make public speaking feel much easier and, in doing so, reduced my fear around it.

I'm so grateful about my 1:1 call with you! You managed to quickly shift my perspective on my talk and that just removed the block I had, and made me feel fully comfortable. And then going deeper into the talk itself, helping me in how to think about the title, the timing of the three big points to make, was great as well. I don't feel nervous anymore, but inspired!

Kristina joined the Turunduslabor (Marketing Lab) Q&A call, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many hearts poured in by the audience. Practical. Engaging. Encouraging. We reflected and we laughed. Kristina shared both concrete insights and inspiring stories. If in the future I need help with refining my stories and communicating my message more clearly, I know exactly who I will turn to. On stage, she brought a warm and encouraging energy, was thoroughly prepared, and skillfully incorporated examples related to our company, Swedbank, which made her talk relatable and helped clearly demonstrate how powerful a tool storytelling can be. Each story was also enriched with gentle, tasteful humor, bringing a light and pleasant atmosphere to the room and inviting many heartfelt laughs and moments of connection. The feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive — Kristina was able to offer both practical insights and true inspiration.

Even before the event, working with Kristina was a pleasure: communication was open and professional, and she showed a genuine interest in understanding the goals of the event designed for our internal trainers, as well as in contributing in the best possible way.
