Tara Tatjana Gale, Therapist, Healer, Life Coach
Hi, my name is Tara Tatiana. I’m coming from Europe, from Croatia. I found out about Anil’s courses and teachings on the ICF website. I had been working in aromatherapy for almost 30 years, and during those sessions I was doing a lot of work helping people with their behaviors, but it was mostly mentoring techniques—creative visualization and goal setting.
Among all the courses that were offered on the ICF site, I found this “Fifth Element,” and so I joined some programs. I was with Anil and this group for more than five months. The group was fantastic. During that time, I completed two certification programs: the training for Transformational Life Coaching and the NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Certification program.
Sincerely speaking, this training came during one of the toughest periods of my life. Everything Anil talked about and taught us, I applied to myself. Even though I already had some background, his teaching helped me become stronger during very difficult moments. It was the time of COVID, I had health issues, and some dear friends passed away. It was a blessing that I had the group and Anil during this period.
Anil is not just a teacher—he is a friend. It is amazing how much spirituality, support, and generosity he gives to us. I was truly amazed, and everything I received from this training went far beyond all my expectations. He leads us in such a gentle way. In the beginning, it was tough for me to understand the difference between entering the ICF program he offers and what I had been used to, but it is great because we were not only pupils. In the group, we were also clients and friends.
You have to experience what he is doing with us. You are not aware of the depth and impact until you complete the journey. It is incredibly transformational on so many subtle levels—not only mentally, but psychologically, physically, and spiritually. Anil combines so many things in his teachings that you cannot count them. It is all one great mixture—like a good muffin.
He is very gentle, and often you don’t even realize how he is guiding you little by little. We never felt alone. Our group was a beautiful mix of people from all over the world—India, America, Europe—and many of us remain friends. I look forward to continuing with his programs. Once you experience his work, you won’t want to let it go. He is so valuable that you naturally want to stay connected.
Anil is a great mentor. His website is very supportive. We have all the materials, books, a local forum where we can discuss with each other, and so many videos full of teachings and experiences. You can ask whatever you want, and you can also have private sessions with him if needed. It is truly a complete package.
He is always advancing. This kind of teaching requires you to work on yourself regularly, but Anil himself works on himself first. He keeps evolving and implementing new things. Don’t think that once you complete a certification you stop growing—you have to keep improving, whether with him or with other mentors. But I personally advise you to stay with Anil. For me, finding him was like hitting the jackpot. I am so happy.
I love you, and thank you, Anil, for everything.
