WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

​

​

​

"Milena altered my life trajectory. I am NOT exaggerating. She is the most incredible coach you could ever work with.

I had a traumatic story that had really limited me in my life and its full impact was hidden even from me. I couldn't speak and my throat would just close up. After only two sessions with Milena, I went from not being able to speak/from literally having a grip on my throat to

giving two talks at MIT, having another talk planned at Oxford University, and I have also just become the host of a live TV show!

I can say categorically that without Milena's help, I would not be doing what I am doing now.

I absolutely and unreservedly recommend working with Milena."

"My life has completely changed since I started working with Milena, and now I’m doing what I feel I should have always been doing my whole life, which is my art. I’ve never felt more happy, and more ‘me’ - plus, I’ve got the courage to keep pushing myself forward and taking on new challenges - I’m getting commissions and selling my work! This is the stuff of dreams.

My life is like a dream now, and I never want this feeling to end.

Thank you so much, Milena."

“I have done a lot of therapy but being coached by Milena has been the most transformational support I have ever received in my life.

It has been unbelievably helpful. A block around my heart has shifted. My fixation on the past has stopped. My brain is quiet now; the endless chatter, the what-ifs, and the worry have stopped. Things and noises that used to trigger traumatic memories suddenly no longer bother me. When I get frustrated, I now have tools that help me to dissociate from those things and get quiet instantly. I gained clarity and got hugely valuable insights into some of my most challenging relationships. Also, so far in my life, my creativity had always been side-lined. I was always focused on getting the best jobs. I’ve now started to make space and time for myself and for self-care. I’ve started exercising and dancing more and expressing myself. I am now really exploring my creativity – what it means to me. This feels so exciting, like an opening of new doors and I can’t wait to see where this will take me!”

"I just had the most incredible, mind-blowing, and spiritual coaching session with the genius Milena Barton.

Wherever you are in the world - if you want to change anything in your life, I cannot recommend working with Milena highly enough.

It truly is like magic."

"I have seen a hell of a lot of therapists and coaches in my life and I have never experienced coaching like this before with such immediate impact. Working with Milena is truly profound. I could actually feel my brain shifting - as if my brain structure was being rearranged physically as if blocks were being reshuffled in my head to let in shafts of light:

I glimpsed emotional freedom.

​

Now there are these new openings, new spaces that are calming, curious and hopeful.

I touched the quiet center at my core - like the inside of the eye of a storm that is always calm and clear, that remains and sustains despite the storms.

I tapped into that and now live from there.

I have since felt such self-possession that I had been craving for a long time and an enjoyment of being in my brain and myself in a way that I have never felt before. My need to reach out or look for reassurance from others has stopped. I now have a sense of non-neediness and feel compelled to follow my attention and focus on what I am doing without self-judgment.

I am now standing in my Self.

​

This has changed how I now relate to other people. A challenging relationship that used to be tense and aggravating seamlessly segued into one collaborative and caring. I now ‘keep my side of the street clean’ and recognise nonsense very quickly and set boundaries. When things aggravate me, I know that this is not the story that I want to continue and I am able to pivot. This has had a more profound effect on me than I even realised at first.

I used to diminish myself for not being grown up. I now feel like a woman. There had always been a part of me that felt unsure or dismissive of myself and the things I do. Milena reflected my life back to me and I realised that my life is very beautiful and rich I am actually at a very exciting point in my life - I did not know this before! There are so many things that I want to create, implement, share, and show, and so many connections are coming together.

​

​I am blown away. I inherently adore and trust Milena so much. I am captivated by and have an awe-ed trust of what we did and I am greedy for more! To anybody thinking about working with Milena, I want to say, ‘You have no idea what a profound impact this will have. Absolutely! DO IT! But don’t cut into my time with her!! :-)'

"My life has completely transformed since I started working with Milena. 

I am a successful entrepreneur who travels the world and has built the life I had always dreamed of. But inside I was deeply troubled.

As a survivor of multiple traumatic events in my life, I thought that traditional therapy was always to be a part of my life and that the pain that I suffered with, would take a lifetime to fully repair, if ever. My 8 months with Milena doing Deep/EMDR coaching has proven that this is a much more deeply effective and efficient way than traditional therapy. I was a skeptic going in but was desperate for transition. Now, I am educated on how the brain works and I now have tools to disrupt the [negative] habitual stories my subconscious mind has created that I can tap into at any time, anywhere, while I am healing.

As a result of this healing, I have lost 55 lbs.

I feel like my younger self again, but smarter, happier, and so equipped to handle life.

​

I cannot emphasize enough how Deep/EMDR coaching with Milena who is so damned talented at her work,

is the pathway to true inner freedom."

"As I am working with my own coach, the amazing Milena Barton, I am feeling a lot of inner shifts and shedding.

I just had an amazing session with her and I can feel all these layers shedding ready to be composted down.

She is unlocking a lot of keys for me right now; it is terrifying in a way but also really blissful. How powerful it is to have somebody work with you and help you along that journey! The growth takes on an exponential speed. It's really something else.

"I’ve had lots of coaches over the last 6 years and I haven’t ever had an experience like this before.

This has been the most powerful coaching that I have ever had in my life. I don’t have higher praise than that. 

There’s something about the way Milena works that is really different.

 

I often feel like I show up with only one version and aspect of myself. I felt like Milena understood me in a WHOLE sense - my whole self and my whole life experience and story were captured. Milena enabled me to reconnect to and access parts of myself that I hadn’t felt connected to for a long time. I now realise how the very part that I had pushed aside is my superpower. It’s become a really strong resource. This has really stayed with me and is giving me new energy for what I am doing.

I am now feeling so good about an upcoming public speaking event that I had felt stuck and paralysed about. I now feel that I can do this; this is what I am here for. But also generally in my coaching business and within who I am as a person.

 

During a very intense and profound visualisation [using bilateral stimulation/EMDR] Milena asked me to put my attention on

pain that I’ve had for years and that felt like a shard of glass in my back - and it disappeared! 

I am blown away by the fact that for a whole week after the session, the pain was gone. It did come back after a week but I now realise that the pain is connected to my thoughts and feelings. I am excited by the idea that I can now also address my physical symptoms as well with coaching.

 

I felt that Milena was so accepting of me; I felt that she really believes in me and my potential.

I loved the scale of where Milena was able to take me in terms of my vision for myself and what I want. It feels very powerful AND sustainable. 

I’ve had euphoric and intense coaching sessions before that felt fantastic in the moment but then always struggled to hold on to these feelings afterward.

Working with Milena is different. This wasn’t just euphoric - something shifted in me. It is something that I can really hold on to, build from, and something that really STAYS with me which is why I feel that working with Milena is such a great investment."
