Anna Milaeva IFS Coach

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.

Yailen, Sr. Analytics Lead

Working with Anna was an incredible experience that I know will have a lasting impact on my life. I learned how to listen with curiosity and empathy, rather than judgment and criticism.

Who I work with


Professionals & Leaders

You're capable, driven, and good at what you do. And something still feels off. Maybe you're burning out, repeating patterns, or leading in ways that don't feel like you. You want to understand what's happening inside, not just manage it.

People in Transition

A role, a relationship, an identity is shifting. Career changes, divorce, relocation, starting over. The external change is already happening. This work helps you navigate it without losing yourself.

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. Not another peak experience. Something that 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.

What we explore


01

1:1 IFS Coaching

We go inside. Together we explore the parts of you that are protecting, pushing, shutting down, or driving too hard. The inner critic, the perfectionist, the one who is always exhausted. You learn to work with them instead of against them. Change becomes possible in a different way.

02

AI Clarity

AI is powerful and also overwhelming. I help professionals get clear on what they want from it, set up simple tools that fit their real work, and meet the inner resistance that gets in the way. Four weeks, and you run your own setup.

03

Sacred Circles

Small groups of people doing deep work together over 8 weeks. There is something that happens when you witness others going through what you thought was only yours. Intimate, structured, and something that working alone simply cannot give you.

04

Couples Coaching

Two people, two sets of parts, one relationship. I help you understand what shows up in conflict and find your way back to each other. You don't have to be in crisis. The same argument on repeat is reason enough.

05

Organizational Programs

Through FINO, I work with the two operating systems every team runs: the visible one made of processes, tools, and meetings, and the one running inside the people. Change is where those two meet.

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 a decade 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. Since then I've worked with clients in more than 15 countries. Whatever brought you here, you're welcome here.
