Desanka Ogrizovic is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her kindness and her client centered approach.
She has built a thriving career empowering women to break free from trauma and reclaim their lives. With a foundation as a counselor and psychic medium, she has evolved into an intuitive coach, using her unique gifts to guide her clients toward healing and self empowerment. By combining her deep intuitive abilities with a holistic counseling model, she’s been able to help women who have faced challenges like domestic violence and narcissistic abuse rediscover their strength and confidence.
She didn’t have an easy journey though. Like many, she faced personal obstacles, including a difficult divorce and the challenges of raising a child as a single mother. Yet, it was during these moments of adversity that she grew into the resilient and empowered woman she is today. Now, she is happily engaged and dedicated to helping others create lives filled with empowerment, independence, and growth.
She has a truly unique approach to coaching. Through her intuitive guidance cards and personalized approach, she’s leading her clients on transformative journeys that not only heal but also inspire long lasting change. Here is what she said…

First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?
We are doing well.
Staying positive and resilient to undertake challenges as they arise.
How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?
I have been lucky as my practice is online so it did not affect whatsoever.
It is in these times that we are blessed to have technology such as the internet.
What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?
To be kind and patient with yourself.
To stand up for what I believe in and not back down.
The Origin:
Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?
I started off as a counsellor and psychic medium (reading people and their photos).
I grew and developed my Intuition since then and grew a following.
I have stopped the psychic medium aspect of my career and honed in on my intuitive counselling abilities using a holistic model.
I became a coach to compliment my counselling, as I have helped many women to become empowered, women who have gone through trauma, DV and narciccistic abuse.
I also provide workshops.
My mentor and friend Renee MacDonald approached me with her coaching course and it opened my eyes to the opportunities.
It was then I decided that becoming an empowernment coach along with my counselling will help even more people grow and achieve results in all aspects of their lives.
I have definitely grown as a person over time.
Life has blossomed for me and I want the same for others.
What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?
When I stopped caring about what my community and people thought of me… also my divorce and becoming a single mother.
Now I am happily engaged to a wonderful man.
But for good 11 years of my life, post divorce has been difficult, challenging and rewarding all at the same time.
I grew into a strong, independent and resilient woman.
The Coaching Style:
How do you innovate with coaching your clients?
I utilise my intuitive abilities and holistic approach along with my self made positive guidance cards to help guide the individual.
My clients have found that my guidance cards help tie everything at the end of each session.
What’s unique about your coaching approach?
My Intuition and the ability to connect with individuals through my holistic approach.
What benefits do your clients get after working with you?
Clients have said that they feel empowered and confident because they have been heard.
They say that someone believed in them and that encouraged them to go ahead and achieve bigger and greater things in their lives.
I have countless reviews on Facebook and Instagram.
Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?
I have my intuitive guidance cards, my intuitive abilities to read my clients.
I don’t use a particular strategy, tool or technique, I go by what the client needs at that point in time.
The Impact:
If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?
Trust yourself and back yourself 100% because you are in charge of your own destiny.
You are your biggest fan, so don’t be your greatest enemy.
What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?
To trust yourself and back yourself 100%.
Your final thoughts?
Don’t ever limit yourself and diminish who you are and what you are capable of.
When you hit rock bottom, the only way left is up.
Don’t be ashamed of asking for help because everyone has been there.
Give praise and gratitude for the smallest things each day.
And remember, it’s OK to feel vulnerable, but don’t be a victim in your life.
Your life is to live and achieve, set goals for yourself.
Your journey is your own.
Believe in you!
