Are you ready to reach your fullest potential?

My name is Matthias. I am here to support

and partner with you on your journey.

Integral Life Coach

A holistic approach to human development

New Directions

Carving a new, clear direction in your personal or business life

Personal Development

Working together to discover your full potential

The Covid pandemic has presented an opportunity to take action on many things we tend to put off for ‘one day’. It has brought us face to face with a host of changes and we can respond by shrinking … or by expanding, breathing and discovering new possibilities.

You may be making important life choices at a moment of crisis or simply in pursuit of what calls you to a more authentic life. It’s vital to establish what you really want and what is important to you. With that awareness, you are able to grow, set concrete goals and transform your life. 

I love working with people, assisting them as they explore and process changes, whilst moving from their current way of being to their desired one, whether in life or in business. I would like to assist you in discovering your authentic life, finding a way forward and creating the life you want.

What is Coaching?

Coaching can take on different forms. The coach is responsible for supporting and encouraging the client in the thinking process. Creating a safe, non-judgmental space to allow the client to unpack and unfold the knowledge from her/his own experience.

The coach is a partner who asks critical questions, to observe and reflect patterns that may be holding you back.

In the integral and holistic process of coaching, I will be your partner in thinking, gently holding you accountable as you strive towards your new goals. This way, you can reach your full potential and achieve the outcomes you dream of.

Trust given

Matthias has the ability to respond to current needs in a very empathetic, direct but unobtrusive way. He’s a fantastic listener. His inputs are well-founded and never judgemental. The discussions with him and the treatments are personal and very professional at the same time. I also appreciate his positive and self-reflective manner incredibly – he is a role model for me in this respect. I can recommend him with a clear conscience – it is a gift to know him and to work with him.

The “Matthias Factor”

Matthias is a life coach that I can highly recommend. He advised and supported me in important decisions. During the coaching, Matthias was always there for me, listening, reflecting and supporting me in sorting my ideas and thoughts. He is a great coach and listener. Working with him was very pleasant and well structured thanks to his solution-oriented methodology. I can therefore recommend him unreservedly.

Centered and present

Matthias Schaffner supported the company Elektro Brönnimann and the management in a team matter. With a survey of the management and some of the employees, he carried out a position determination. Through this analysis and input from outside, the management has received clear insights into how to proceed. Sometimes you can no longer see the forest of sheer trees. We can recommend Matthias with a clear conscience.

Life-changing

I went to Matthias for life coaching. It was incredible! Matthias is friendly, professional, kind and fiercely dedicated to his work. This truly shows during his sessions. Matthias offers a range of other services too. I also see Matthias for Mindfulness and meditation. I feel safe, secure and held during these sessions, while harnessing my skills of meditating, as well as growing and developing in my focus and spirituality. Get ready to change your life.

Perceptive and insightful

Matthew Schaffner brings his creative mind to life’s challenges and offers his support with humility. I have found Matthew to be perceptive, insightful, sincere and gentle, bringing with him a passion for his job, a depth of life experience and a genuine concern for his clients. Although his English is not perfect, his other qualities far outweigh this. I recommend him most highly.

Enjoyable and effective

I thoroughly enjoyed my life coaching session with Matthew. Matthew is highly professional, reliable and friendly. I felt comfortable, safe and intellectually stimulated throughout our session.

Given me faith

Matthias has given me faith in the Life Coaching Industry. He made it clear from the start that I was free to explore what I chose, but gently pointed out what may assist me in my long-term growth. He never pushed. I felt in control of my process, changing the direction I had chosen if I had a personal or work issue needing immediate attention. I also enjoyed his flexibility of appointments, delaying my next session at times. Matthias, as a very skilled listener, allowed me to discover what I was really saying. It was a great choice to also join a Zoom Mindfulness Group that he hosts. A great way to discover what we all need with like-minded people. I would highly recommend Matthias in both areas.
