Anu Taksali — Identity Coach and NLP Master Coach

You’re not missing information.
So why isn’t your life changing?

You know
what to do.

You know
why.

Yet, the same
patterns repeat.

Different situation.
Same outcome.

It’s not a lack of
effort.

Myth

Knowing better
means doing better.

If that were true…

  • We wouldn’t procrastinate on things that matter.
  • We’d leave what we know isn’t right.
  • We’d stop overthinking decisions.
  • We wouldn’t repeat mistakes.

Knowing is information.
Change is transformation.

How I Work

We keep changing
what’s visible.

  • New goals.
  • New routines.
  • New strategies.
  • New environments.
  • New people.

But what if the real pattern sits underneath?

You wouldn’t run your business on software you installed fifteen years ago. So why run your life on beliefs you formed years ago?

The 7 Neurological Levels of Change

Fix a problem at the wrong level — it never holds. Shift it at the level it actually lives — it transforms.

The 7 Neurological Levels of Change A 7-layer pyramid: from Environment at the base through Behaviour, Skill, Value, Belief, Identity, and Goal at the apex. The top three layers are "who you are." The bottom three are "what you do." Real change works top-down. WHO YOU ARE Real change works top → down WHAT YOU DO GOAL / Purpose Identity Belief Value Skill Behaviour Environment Your True North — why you are here Who you are being — the self underneath What you believe about self, others, life What truly matters to you Capabilities you have built (or haven't yet) What you actually do day to day Where & with whom you live, work, parent, love
  • GoalYour True North — why you are here
  • IdentityWho you are being — the self underneath
  • BeliefWhat you believe about self, others, life
  • ValueWhat truly matters to you
  • SkillCapabilities you have built (or haven't yet)
  • BehaviourWhat you actually do day to day
  • EnvironmentWhere & with whom you live, work, parent, love

Most coaching works on Behaviour and Skill. My work shifts Belief, Identity and your True North — so the change actually holds.

Anu Taksali — Identity Coach and NLP Master Coach

When identity shifts, beliefs follow. When beliefs shift, values clarify. When values clarify, choices align. When choices align, behaviour changes naturally. And the environment around you — your relationships, your work, your daily life — starts to reflect the version of you that's actually emerging.

I call it Nazariya. But the real point isn't the name. The point is — you stop trying to change the wrong thing.

And it moves across four bodies — not one.

01Physical

Health, energy, discipline — the daily rhythms everything else rests on.

02Emotional

Stability, resilience, self-regulation — the quiet muscles of adult life.

03Mental

Thinking patterns, clarity, and the decisions that shape your trajectory.

04Spiritual

Purpose, alignment, intuition — the deeper compass beneath it all.

You were never meant to be a machine. You are a system. And every system needs a center that is still.
— From A Life That Breathes

Why do some patterns keep coming back?

Even after the books. The courses. The affirmations. The fresh starts.

What people say

Real shifts, in their words.

The change people describe is rarely louder goals or a longer to-do list. It's quieter — they stop fighting themselves, and start recognising the person actually making their decisions.

Questions people ask

What is identity coaching?

Identity coaching is a transformation process that helps you understand who you truly are — your values, beliefs, and purpose — so your career, relationships, and daily choices align with your authentic self instead of someone else's expectations.

What is the Nazariya method?

Nazariya is Anu Taksali's signature identity transformation framework, based on the 7 Neurological Levels of Change. It works at the level of belief and identity — not just behaviour — so that change actually lasts.

How can I work with Anu Taksali?

You can work with Anu through 1:1 identity coaching, her programs and courses, her book A Life That Breathes, or by inviting her to speak at your event. The simplest place to start is a discovery call at unwindwithanu.com/connect.

Is Anu Taksali a certified NLP coach?

Yes. Anu is an NLP Master Coach, EI (Emotional Intelligence) Certified Coach. She is also a TEDx speaker and the author of A Life That Breathes.

Does Anu offer online coaching?

Yes. Anu offers online identity coaching, NLP sessions, and digital programs accessible from anywhere in the world. Sessions are held over video call.

What does an identity coach do?

An identity coach works at the level of who you believe you are, rather than only what you do. Instead of adding habits or tactics on top of an unchanged self-image, an identity coach helps you surface the beliefs, values and patterns quietly driving your decisions — so the change holds instead of fading in a few weeks.

How is identity coaching different from life coaching?

Most life coaching works on goals, behaviour and accountability — the visible layers. Identity coaching goes underneath them. It asks why the same pattern keeps returning even when you know exactly what to do, and shifts the belief and identity levels where that pattern actually lives. Behaviour then changes on its own, because it is no longer fighting your self-image.

Who is identity coaching for?

It suits professionals, founders, coaches and parents who are capable and already doing the work, yet keep meeting the same ceiling — procrastinating on what matters, over-thinking decisions, or needing permission to move. If effort has never been your problem, identity is usually where the answer sits.
