Slow Down. Simplify. Feel Lighter.

Simplifying begins within.


Let go of the beliefs, patterns, and expectations that have been weighing you down — and watch your life transform from the inside out.

Shadow Work & Self-Love Coaching 

with Marika Zulch

You’ve spent so much of your life trying to get it right — trying to meet expectations, trying to be enough. But deep down, there are parts of you that have been ignored, hidden, or pushed away.
The self-doubt. The inner critic. The emotions that feel “too much.”
You’ve been doing your best to move forward, but something still feels off — like you’re fighting an internal battle you don’t fully understand.
What if the answer wasn’t trying harder — but letting go?
What if peace doesn’t come from doing more, but from simplifying what’s within?
What if the path to self-trust wasn’t about becoming someone new but about embracing all parts of who you already are?
This is where transformation happens. This is where healing begins.

                                      THIS IS FOR YOU, IF...

➣ You feel like you have to be perfect to be worthy — but deep down, you’re tired of carrying that pressure.
➣ You keep falling into the same patterns — even when you know they don’t serve the life you truly want.
➣ You crave inner peace — but your mind feels loud, restless, and constantly “on.”
➣ You suppress emotions like anger or sadness — or turn them inward when they arise.
➣ You often feel stuck in your head — when all you want is to feel grounded and at ease.
➣ You’re ready to simplify your inner world — so life doesn’t feel so heavy anymore.

THIS IS FOR YOU, IF...

➣ You feel like you have to be perfect to be worthy—but deep down, part of you resents the pressure.
➣ You keep falling into the same patterns, even when you know they don’t serve you.
➣ You struggle to express anger, sadness, or frustration—so instead, you suppress it or turn it inward.
➣ You take things personally but don’t fully understand why certain things trigger you so deeply.
➣ You crave inner peace, but your mind feels loud, restless, or constantly overanalyzing.
➣ You want to stop battling yourself and start feeling more grounded, whole, and free.
"Before coaching with Marika, I felt stuck in my ways and unable to break free from old patterns. It took time and the right tools, but now I have clarity, empowerment, and the agency to create change. I no longer panic. I know I can do this on my own, which is invaluable as a woman.
Most importantly, she’s helped me appreciate positive moments and not just do ‘the work’ in crisis. This has made my life more enjoyable and made me a kinder person. You don’t need to hit rock bottom to benefit from this journey. I’d recommend it to anyone."
– Giulia R.

A LITTLE BIT OF MY STORY...


For much of my life, I felt like I was constantly being measured – by others, by society, and by the impossible standards I set for myself. I learned what it meant to be a “good girl,” a “pretty girl,” and an “intelligent girl.”
Like many, I struggled with insecurity – mentally, emotionally, and physically. I became a perfectionist and a people pleaser. Feeling the pressure within myself and from my environment, I conformed to the constructs and expectations around me – believing that this was the path to becoming my best self. I developed a judgmental and critical inner voice, a voice that constantly pushed me but also held fears, doubts, and shame beneath the surface. I thought that voice was me.
In my early twenties I began to notice a disconnect – a lack of energy and excitement with who I was and what I was doing. I was constantly comparing myself to others, feeling never enough, and trapped in a cycle of overthinking, self-judgment, and emotional exhaustion. No matter how much I tried to be “better,” something still felt off.
Through years of being my own anthropologist–observing, feeling, integrating, and learning – I realized that the parts of myself I had been fighting weren’t flaws to fix; they were pieces of me that needed to be understood.
My inner critic, my emotional triggers, my self-doubt – they weren’t the problem. They were messengers, pointing me toward what needed healing.
This led me to shadow work and self-love – the path of bringing hidden parts of ourselves into awareness rather than rejecting them. Instead of battling myself, I began integrating all parts of me – the light and the shadow. Through this work, I cultivated deep self-trust, self-compassion, and emotional resilience. Life began to feel lighter, easier, and more grounded.
Now, as a Shadow Work & Self-Love Coach, I guide women through the same journey – helping them uncover their patterns, heal emotional wounds, and embrace themselves fully.
Although this is a lifelong process, it has already transformed me in ways I never could have imagined. As I continue embracing all parts of myself – the ones I love and the ones I struggle with – I'm discovering what true freedom feels like.
And the more inner peace I’ve found, the more I’ve been drawn to simplify my life on the outside too – clearing the noise, slowing down, and aligning with what matters most. This is the deeper why behind all the work I do: not just healing your inner world, but helping you live with more ease, intention, and lightness – inside and out.
If I can support you on your own path of self-discovery, shadow work, and self-love, I would be truly grateful. 💛

HOW THIS WORK TRANSFORMS YOU

 
I don’t believe in surface-level fixes.  
True transformation happens when we stop running from the parts of ourselves we’ve been avoiding. 
Shadow work is the process of turning toward these parts with curiosity instead of fear.

I don’t believe in surface-level fixes.  
True transformation happens when we stop running from the parts of ourselves we’ve been avoiding. 
Shadow work is the process of turning toward these parts with curiosity instead of fear.

In our work together, you’ll have a safe space to explore:

The patterns and reactions that feel out of your control.

The emotions that have been pushed down or dismissed.

 The voice inside that tells you you’re not good enough.

Instead of trying to get rid of anything, we listen and integrate.

Instead of rejecting parts of yourself, we bring them into awareness.

Instead of feeling at war with yourself, you learn to work with yourself.

The Result? 

Less emotional exhaustion. Less inner resistance.

More ease. More self-acceptance. More self-trust.
