Nazli Akturk
Life and Relationship Coach / Artist
Hello, I’m Nazlı Akturk; life & relationship coach, and an art therapy practitioner in progress.
My 20+ years of personal growth and coaching experience have taught me that transformation is not only about words, but also about creativity. That’s why I combine coaching with the healing power of art, offering both personal sessions and creative workshops.
Together with my family, I also organize community art events; such as Sip & Paint, mindful doodling, and meditative mandalas; designed to inspire self-expression, balance, and joy.
This is where my two passions; coaching and creative arts come together to help people create positive change and reconnect with themselves.
My Areas of Expertise and Methodology
My work combines the clarity of coaching, the science of NLP, and the healing flow of art. Over the years, I’ve discovered that true transformation happens when the mind, body, and creativity all work together. That’s why my approach integrates multiple disciplines:
-
Life & Relationship Coaching: Helping individuals and couples unlock their potential, build healthier dynamics, and create meaningful change.
-
Holistic Coaching: Looking at the whole picture—mind, body, and spirit—to bring balance and sustainable growth.
-
NLP Master Practitioner & Trainer: Using powerful tools to reshape limiting beliefs and behavioral patterns, creating new possibilities for action and confidence.
-
Neurographica® Specialist (in progress): Having completed the Basic Course, I am continuing advanced training to master this transformative art-based method, where drawing becomes a path to self-discovery, healing, and creative problem-solving.
-
Art Therapy Studies: Deepening my knowledge of art therapy to guide people in expressing emotions, practicing mindfulness, and accessing inner wisdom through creative expression.
This unique blend allows me to create both one-on-one sessions and community art experiences where coaching, psychology, and creativity meet—helping people reconnect with themselves in ways that are both practical and inspiring.
Our Team
Behind every brushstroke, there’s a heartbeat—and in our case, it’s a family heartbeat. Our team isn’t just made of titles and tasks, it’s made of parents, siblings, and a little muse who keeps us inspired. We laugh together, argue over color palettes like only families can, and somehow turn all that love and chaos into unforgettable art experiences. For us, this is more than a business—it’s our way of sharing creativity, connection, and joy with you.
Our Lead Instructor: Nihat Demirbas
With decades of experience in both teaching and practicing art, Nihat is the creative soul behind our workshops. He brings not only technical expertise, but also patience, humor, and a gift for making everyone feel like an artist, whether it’s their first time holding a brush or their hundredth.
From guiding children through their first doodles to helping adults rediscover the joy of painting, his approach is rooted in encouragement and inspiration. For him, art is not just about technique, it’s about connection between people, ideas, and emotions.
Nihat’s philosophy is simple: “Everyone has creativity inside them. My job is just to help bring it out.”
In my work, I focus on three fundamental principles inspired by the unique characteristics of seahorses:
Equality
I communicate with each of my clients on an equal level, without judgment and openly. This is the foundation of a trust-based coaching relationship.
Loyalty
I stand by my clients with determination throughout their journey to achieve their goals. I provide long-term and consistent support.
Adaptation
I adapt to each client's unique needs and life circumstances. I develop personalized strategies and solutions.
Let's Work Together
Are you ready to create a deep and lasting transformation in your life? I would be happy to embark on this journey with you and unlock your potential, taking the calm strength and determination of seahorses as an example.
"True transformation begins with the understanding, empathy, and loyalty we show to ourselves and others. Every step in this journey is valuable." - Nazli Akturk
