The real work is on the inside. Everything else follows.

For professionals in the middle of a change. A job, a marriage, a team that stopped working, the chapter after a degree. You can see the decision. Something inside you keeps circling it.

We work with that something, using Internal Family Systems (IFS). Then we build what comes next together: the plan, the hard conversation, the setup that takes the load off. Online, in English and Spanish.

Trained at the IFS Institute through Level 3, its highest. Certified Deep Transformational Coach. More than ten years in operations. Clients in more than 15 countries. Author of Already in a Meeting.

Anna Milaeva IFS Coach

Anna was instrumental during my work and life transition. I received more than I could ever expect. Thank you for the support and the patience in the times when I could not decide which direction to go, and for the clarity and the steadiness.

Client, USA

Her ability to listen with curiosity and without judgment makes her a great parts detector. She allows my process to unfold organically while trusting my instincts, even when I don't trust myself.

Who I work with


People in Transition

Something big is moving. A job you need to leave, or one you're scared to want. A relationship you're deciding about. A degree you can't quite finish, because finishing means choosing what comes next. You don't need someone to decide for you. You need to hear all of you before you do.

Professionals & Leaders

You're good at what you do, and people rely on you. Lately it costs more than it should. You're carrying the team, or the house, mostly alone. The dream job turned into something else, and you're already wondering how not to burn out at the next one. The inner critic calls itself motivation. Mostly it's exhausting.

People Going Deeper

You've done the retreats, the therapy, the personal work. Something shifted. Now you want to integrate it, so that what you saw holds up in your daily life, in how you speak to the people close to you, in how you show up at work on an ordinary Tuesday. The clarity shouldn't be gone by Thursday. This is how it stays.

What this work actually looks like


Four made-up people. Very real parts. Tap a card for the meeting inside.

These four are composites. I made the people up. The parts, however, are entirely real, and they book sessions every week.

If one of them showed up while you were reading, that's worth a conversation →

What we explore


01

1:1 Coaching

Inner work and outer work, in the same sessions.

Inside

We meet the parts that push, protect, or shut down. The inner critic, the perfectionist, the exhausted one. You learn to work with them instead of against them.

Outside

We build what comes next. A plan with real milestones, the CV, the script for Thursday. When AI can carry part of the load, we set it up together.

02

Sacred Circles

Seven weeks in a small group doing deep work together. Something shifts when you witness others going through what you thought was only yours.

03

Couples Coaching

Two people, two sets of parts, one relationship. My husband Dario and I work with couples together. He's an organizational psychologist trained in IFS. The same argument on repeat is reason enough.

AI feels like a lot right now. It is. People keep asking me for help with it, so we do it inside coaching. We set up AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT around your real work, and meet the part of you that resists them. AI coaching → Your team has parts too. The conflict nobody names. The meeting that goes in circles. I work with teams and companies through FINO. Visit FINO →
Anna Milaeva

I came to this work through living it.


I was born in Russia. Moved to Argentina at 13, then to the United States at 20. I put myself through college and a master's degree working two jobs. Then over ten years inside startups, always in the room where things were breaking. I burned out too. Slowly, until I didn't recognize myself.

That's when I stopped trying to fix the outside. I had been doing inner work for years. Breathwork, meditation, circles in different parts of the world. When I found IFS, something clicked.

I trained through the IFS Institute, all three levels, and I'm a certified Deep Transformational Coach. The operations years come with me. When you need a plan, a budget, or a system for what's next, we build it together in the session. Since then I've worked with clients in more than 15 countries. Whatever brought you here, you're welcome here.
