Jessica CooperI worked with Akinyi over a 6 month period from late 2019 into 2020. The initial objective of the coaching was to help me work towards the elements of my financial vision of the future, in terms of my own post corporate coaching career I am planning, as well as to help me understand/establish what my husband was able to contribute. Akinyi got me to do some good work up front to understand what I was looking for, as well as my own values, motivators, and concerns. Akinyi’s style is holistic. She did not just transactionally work on the goals I presented, but used her skills to delve around and help me see things more clearly, such as my motivators and fears. Throughout our sessions, she maintained a friendly and totally trustworthy demeanour – I felt at home with her, and that I was talking intimately with someone I could really trust. I would definitely recommend Akinyi for both personal coaching, as well as the more business/executive coaching realm.
Nancy OumaThis coaching experience was remarkedly different from the others I have had in my career. Your phenomenal listening and insightful question, coupled with the right balance of support and challenge, enabled me to see a clearer path on my leadership skills and in achieving my personal development goals. It is fair to say that the coaching sessions with you helped me to gain confidence and be a more effective leader. I continue to put in practice the techniques and approaches we developed.
Hilary HendersonWhen I started coaching with you I was stuck and seeking advice from all quarters. Your unstructured approach gave me the space to see for myself that I already had the answers, and I was then able to confidently action them and move ahead again.
Hon. Millie OdhiamboYou have an amazing way of getting me to introspect and thereby re-vision, re-energize, re-strategize, re-focus and re-tap on my potential. Thanks to you, two of the projects I had pended are back on course.

Richard ForbesI have known Akinyi for the last two years as a result of our being in the same working group while completing our Masters in Coaching Degree. I have experienced Akinyi to be a deep and considered thinker who is keenly alert to, and in tune with, the complexities of individual, collective, social, economic and political dynamics. Akinyi has the keen ability to effortlessly and seamlessly combine serious and intimate consideration with a light-hearted connection.
Joyce OnekoIt’s not everyday that you meet a coach or therapist whose innate capability to move clients from their position of stuckness to a clear path is so simple and rational. When I met Walkowa some 20 years ago, her eclectic approach to both coaching and therapy for marginalized girls and young women became an authority in measuring how to move them from a state of victimhood to successful and thriving individuals. Her model continues to be employed very effectively.
