What happens during the coaching sessions?
The coaching collaboration is a tailored process, where you are always at the centre and the approach is attuned according to the topic, your needs and wider context. No two sessions are ever exactly alike.
Mostly you will experience a lot of active deep listening and asking questions, sometimes challenging. But you always have a choice whether you wish to answer or not. Occasionally we will do exercises, sometimes as homework.
Our sessions have a clear structure:
introduction with agreements, you state the goal or topic for the session, then we work on it and end the session with a recap and action steps if it is appropriate.
I follow the ICF Code of Ethics in my work and assure the confidentiality of the sessions.
"80% of people who receive coaching report increased self-confidence. Over 70% benefit from improved work performance, relationships, and more effective communication skills."

What do my current clients say?
"Working with Kairi as my coach was truly eye-opening. I would liken our sessions to having a personal trainer, but instead of physical fitness, Kairi helped me get in professional shape. I chose to work with her because of her background in design and her experience leading teams. As an architect and team leader, I appreciated her understanding of the unique challenges in the creative field. Over our two months of coaching, she expertly balanced pushing me out of my comfort zone with providing gentle support when needed."
Mae Köömnemägi
Architect & team lead
"Kairi is a natural coach. During our sessions, she created a completely non-judgmental and warm environment that felt empowering. She seems to have a diverse toolbox of methods and approaches, and she is great at picking those that align with the coachee's natural way of thinking. This attentiveness allowed me to discover new and original ways to tackle the challenges we explored. Kairi's encouragement to approach my problems in ways that resonated deeply with me helped release stuck emotions and even made me giggle with joy :). I highly recommend Kairi for anyone seeking a transformative coaching experience."
Minna Toots
UX specialist in FinTech sector
"I sought Kairi’s coaching help in the Spring of 2024 when I was struggling with several career development choices. We agreed on the topics to work on, yet quickly dug much deeper than I had anticipated and uncovered several thinking patterns that had hindered my decision-making for many years.
Kairi’s coaching approach is very personal, it’s a mix of attentive listening, clever questions, and playful exercises. She creates a time and safe space for self-reflection, doesn’t answer your questions but rather helps to develop the tools to answer them yourself. This way I could easily reflect on and intertwine her guidance with my own previous experience and know-how.
I will continue working with Kairi and highly recommend her as a coach to anyone in a leadership position or who has to make influential choices daily."
Tanel Kärp
Interaction designer, mentor & consultant
"I started my coachee journey with Kairi by unexpected chance. As I was thinking about trying coaching to be better at my career, I was introduced to her by a mutual friend. And what an amazing coaching journey it has been! Right from the start, Kairi’s positivity and openness gave me motivation to start sessions with her. As I did not know exactly what to expect from these sessions with her, she explained everything calmly and also actively listened to me and my wishes for these coaching sessions. During the sessions, Kairi used different coaching methods and together we found the ones that worked for me the best. She is an active listener and that made me feel that she really wants to help me during these sessions. With her help, I worked on my goals with motivation. I felt very energized after my sessions with her and that I can really advance in my career. I felt I could trust her during these sessions too, which is very important to me. So if you are looking for an amazing coach, Kairi is the one!"
