Hello.

I'm Anya Smirnova, a working mum of two, private practice lawyer turned executive coach, and founder of Smirnova Coaching.


My mission is to support individuals in high-pressure jobs go through life shifts because "shift happens!". I do this through one-on-one coaching programmes and supporting employers. 

 

My vision is to be part of the post-Covid culture shift to flexibility, wellbeing, diversity and inclusivity.

​

My first value is trustful relationship.

This free guide "From Lawyer to Motherhood: the Ultimate Transition Checklist" tells what I learned,

in ten stories.

#LawyerLifeExperiment podcast is a duo with my wonderful friend and fellow lawyer-turned-coach Frieda Levycky. 

 

In 20-30 min episodes, Frieda and I use our experience as lawyers and coaches to address the myriad of day-to-day issues which make every lawyer question whether work-life balance is ever achievable. We know it is!

 

Join us every couple of weeks as we set theories and test out ways to help you have more balance, better health and more fulfilment in your lives.
