…Sound good?
I’ve been where you are.
As an award-winning scientist, I know first-hand the toll a demanding research career can take on your mental and physical health. This led me to retrain as a productivity coach and for over 12 years now I’ve supported PhD students, postdocs and other women scientists to work smarter not harder, while finding more joy in their lives.
…Is that how you’d like to feel? Set up a free call with me to learn more and see if we could be the right match!
“I would not be where I am today had it not been for Olga. Just over a year ago, I was crying uncontrollably and ready to give up. But through Olga’s guidance, I found the strength to persevere. I am so glad I found Olga and I am so grateful for the guidance to get me out of my slump!”
~ Female researcher, Europe
“Olga gave me my hope back. She showed me how to see and do things differently – to shift my mindset from all-out negative, to positive and excited. She was always there to cheer on me. Her kind words and open ear provided me with comfort and motivation.”
~ Postdoc at a research Institute, USA.

“Within three months of working with Olga, I finished two papers and wrote a third. One of these papers got accepted to a very prestigious journal and received 15 press and news articles – including a press release in Nature – which was very exciting!”
~ Postdoc at the University of Edinburgh, UK
“After only 3 weeks of working with Olga, I’ve managed to turn my situation around and “unlocked” a great opportunity to share my research with a wider community. I shifted from basically doing nothing about it, to writing to an editor of a high-profile journal with a review proposal, which has now been accepted. It is very exciting news!”
~ Postdoc, France
Are you a scientist AND a mom? I’ve got you!
I know from personal experience how overwhelming juggling a scientific career with motherhood can be. The year I won an international prize for my research, I also published an extensive single-authored article – all while having two little kids on my hands!! It was a lot!
I now have three kids – aged 17, 15, and 11 – and I’d love to share with you the strategies I’ve developed for staying calm and productive as a working mum. Book a call to share your situation with me. I am here to support you!
“During Olga’s course, I learned how to get focused and make a start. Within just 2 weeks of the course, I was able to submit the first draft of my research proposal, which has been approved by my supervisor. I just had a little girl, and the fact that Olga recently had a baby herself made me feel better and more determined. I also received extra support from her based on our similar situations.”
~ Anurika, 1st year PhD student at a UK University
“With Olga’s advice and support, my family relationships improved a lot. I could solve many problems and conflicts that haunted me for a very long time. Now I feel happy when I wake up in the morning, and look forward to the great time we’ll have - talking, playing and learning together. Now I feel so much more powerful, I can actually create my day rather than just rush through it reactively.”
~ Scientist and a mother of two, USA
Stuck with your PhD thesis?
I understand how you feel! I’ve been through the Masters and PhD journeys myself, and I’ve also coached dozens of Masters and PhD students through theirs. I’ve helped them battle through misunderstandings with supervisors, and through feelings of paralysis, isolation, bitterness and hopelessness. With support, they managed to triumph and submit their dissertations – and you can do it too! I am here to help. Book a free 30-minute “getting acquainted” call with me; share the details of your current thesis situation; and together we can turn it around.
“I was in the most stressful part of my doctoral studies when I came across Olga’s website. Olga is real! She has a very successful academic background, thus she understands the situation PhD students are in. Through her coaching I learnt how to make a start, become more productive and achieve my goals. Olga has a healing power! She offers the best advice. I strongly recommend Olga’s mentorship to anyone who needs help.”
~ Female PhD student
“I felt scared of my PhD and had got accustomed to avoiding working on my thesis. What I really wanted was to feel more empowered. After the coaching calls with Olga, I always felt so inspired and it made me realise that I’m not alone. Finally someone was actually caring about how I’m doing. Now I have HALF of my thesis done! More importantly, I feel more confident about this whole process – and I even enjoy it!”
~ Marija, female PhD student in Croatia
