COACH’S BIO
ABOUT DARIA MALICH
Today, as an Executive Health Coach, Daria helps entrepreneurs and executives who are winning in business but paying for it with their health. Her approach is distinguished by a rare blend of corporate experience, advanced certifications, and lived insight:
Nearly two decades in international business and luxury media, giving her a first-hand understanding of the pressure points and demands leaders face at the top.
Professional training and accreditations — including ICF and CPD certifications, plus Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® — equipping her to use advanced functional lab testing to uncover root causes of dysregulation and design precise, evidence-based interventions.
Trauma-informed, somatic nervous system education, enabling clients to regulate stress responses in real time and build resilience that holds in high-stakes environments.
Having personally made the journey from corporate burnout to optimal health, Daria offers more than a program—she provides a bridge between the high-performance world she knows intimately and the evidence-based practices that enable leaders to perform at their peak while protecting and sustaining their health.
After nearly two decades in the demanding world of international business and luxury media, Daria Malich knows firsthand the toll high-stakes environments take on even the most resilient leaders.
As CEO of Luxury International Magazine, she orchestrated complex multi-territory expansions while cultivating relationships with ultra-high-net-worth clients and iconic brands across Milan and London. Before that, as Director at Laurel Partners Limited, she oversaw global operations for international corporations—recruiting C-suite talent and ensuring flawless execution of multi-million-pound projects.
But this relentless pace came at a cost. Years of managing crisis communications, racing against deadlines, and equating self-worth with achievement led to severe burnout and the onset of an autoimmune condition. Determined to reclaim her health, Daria turned to intensive research and applied nervous system regulation techniques and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®. Not only did she restore her vitality, but she also achieved remission— thus discovering a powerful framework for sustainable high performance.

“I had worked with coaches before, but nothing came close to this. What struck me immediately was the use of real, concrete data. Seeing my stress patterns mapped out made me realise that my reactivity wasn’t just in my head. It was imprinted in my nervous system. After only a few sessions, I began to notice a real shift. Each time, my stress patterns would surface, we worked to release them through breath techniques, somatic exercises (which I had never believed in before, but now swear by), and reframing old thought patterns. Situations that used to trigger me no longer hold the same grip. Daria’s presence feels incredibly safe. I felt I’m in safe hands and could where explore my problems and concerns deeply and without judgment. Working with her has changed everything for me. From the way I lead at work, to how I show up in my relationships, to how I manage my everyday life.”

PROGRAMMES
Building the health foundation for sustainable executive success.REACTIVE MASTERY™
When pressure hits, your body reacts before your mind has a chance to intervene. Reactivity Mastery™ teaches you how to retrain that reflex. Through nervous system regulation, stress-driven patterns are rewired so composure becomes your default response.
You’ll gain practical tools to use in the moment — from stabilising your breath to shifting out of spirals and into grounded control. Designed for high-stakes performers, C-suite leaders, and decision-makers, this program transforms emotional hijack into calm authority, ensuring focus and clarity hold even in the most critical moments.
STRESS MANAGEMENT PRO™
Most stress programs stop at teaching you how to “manage” your thoughts. Stress Management Pro™ goes far deeper — into the biology and neurophysiology driving your response to pressure. Using Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®, we uncover the hidden imbalances — cortisol spikes, nutrient gaps, and hormonal disruptions — that quietly erode performance and fuel overwhelm.
Through precision protocols and evidence-based strategies, your body and mind are realigned so energy, focus, and composure return as your natural state. This isn’t about coping. It’s about engineering resilience at the source — turning stress into a catalyst for clarity, control, and sustained high performance.
EXECUTIVE BURNOUT RECOVERY™
True resilience isn’t about pushing harder — it’s about how efficiently you recover. Executive Burnout Recovery™ identifies the precise drains on your vitality through advanced functional testing, then rebuilds your foundation with targeted recovery science. Hormones, sleep, digestion, and nervous system balance are recalibrated, allowing the body to repair, recharge, and return stronger.
This isn’t about returning to your old baseline — it’s about establishing a higher one: deeper sleep, faster recovery, sharper cognition, and sustained energy that matches your ambition. Recovery Reset optimises both body and mind, ensuring performance is not only regained, but optimised for the long term.
“I would recommend Daria to anyone with a stressful work schedule. Her approach is truly unique. What impressed me most was how quickly I saw results. For years I tried to ‘manage stress,’ but this was the first time someone actually explained the mechanisms behind it, rooted in each person’s unique biology. It felt like finally having a roadmap after years of guessing. Daria’s methods are sophisticated but yet practical and easy to integrate into my routine. After a month, I started noticing changes in my ability to choose my thoughts and reactions, almost like selecting from a menu, instead of reacting automatically. I didn’t just walk away with less reactivity, but also with tools I can use to maintain these results long-term. Now, I practice quick daily techniques on my own, and I can honestly say I wish I had met Daria earlier… She brought tremendous value to my professional life!”
