Valina Stavropoulou BSc
Valina is a Transformational Coach and Rapid Transformational Therapist/ Hypnotherapist dedicated to helping ambitious women create the balanced and fulfilling life they’ve always dreamed of. Her journey to becoming a coach began during her own successful career as an HR manager. Driven by perfectionism and an insatiable hunger for achievement, she poured herself into her work, allowing it to define her identity and self-worth.
Despite her career successes, Valina struggled with an underlying sense of inadequacy, relentless exhaustion, and the inability to truly switch off, even during holidays. The fast-paced lifestyle that once fuelled her ambition ultimately took a toll on her well-being. Reaching a breaking point, she turned to coaching for guidance and clarity. Through this transformative process, Valina reconnected with her true values and uncovered a deeper sense of fulfilment, which inspired her to become a certified coach herself.
However, her personal transformation didn’t stop there. After being diagnosed with remitting relapsing multiple sclerosis (RRMS), Valina's body gave her a wake-up call, forcing her to slow down and reconsider her priorities. What initially felt like a setback became a turning point, empowering her to embrace healing on a deeper level. This led her to explore hypnotherapy, where she gained insight into the emotional roots of physical ailments, and she became certified in Rapid Transformational Therapy to help herself and others heal.
Now, Valina combines her coaching expertise with hypnotherapy to help women release deep-seated emotional blocks and reprogram old beliefs. Her mission is to help clients reconnect with their inner strength, build unshakable confidence, and lead lives of purpose and joy. With a unique blend of empathy, experience, and actionable guidance, Valina provides her clients with the tools to live authentically, feel empowered, and thrive in all areas of life.
Beyond her professional life, Valina enjoys simple pleasures that help her stay grounded. Whether it’s listening to music, baking something sweet, savoring a good cup of coffee, or meditating, she finds joy in activities that nourish both her body and soul. She loves Pilates, taking long walks in nature, and watching romantic movies that warm the heart. Cloud gazing, reading a great book, and spending quality time with family and friends also play a big role in her self-care and happiness.
Valina holds a BSc in Economics from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) and an MA in Human Resource Management, specializing in Talent Management, from Middlesex University of London. She is also a Certified Professional Coach, an Energy Leadership Master Practitioner with iPEC, and a Certified Hypnotherapist with The School of Rapid Transformational Therapy®.
