Frequently asked questions

You have questions. I probably have answers.

Whether you’re curious about how I work, wondering which program is right for you, or trying to understand why there’s so much drawing around here, start below. If your question isn’t here, contact me.

01

The Work

What exactly do you do?

I’m a mindset coach who works with online entrepreneurs on the internal patterns affecting the way they show up, make decisions, sell, receive, execute and grow. I use a combination of coaching, neuroscience-based approaches, structured drawing and other methods depending on what we’re working with. The goal isn’t insight for the sake of insight, we’re looking for an internal shift that changes what becomes possible outside it.

Are you a business coach?

Not in the traditional sense. I have nine years of experience in digital marketing and have managed 500+ campaigns, so I understand the business context. But my work focuses primarily on the person executing the strategy. We may absolutely talk about your offer, pricing, visibility or decisions. But we’re looking at what happens inside you when it’s time to act on those things.

Is this just “mindset work”?

Not in the sense of repeating positive thoughts until you believe them. We work with specific patterns, what you believe, what happens when you try to act differently, what you avoid, what keeps repeating. Mindset is part of the work. It isn’t a motivational slogan.

What is the ExpansionInk approach?

REGULATE → RECOGNIZE → TRANSFORM → INTEGRATE. Regulate: create enough internal space to work with what’s happening. Recognize: identify the belief, reaction, identity or subconscious pattern underneath the problem. Transform: work with it using the process that fits. Integrate: bring the shift back into your decisions, behavior and real life. The method can change. The purpose doesn’t.

02

Drawing + Neurographica

Why do you use drawing?

Because sometimes thinking harder about a problem doesn’t change it. Structured drawing gives us another way to explore what is happening beneath the intellectual explanation you already have. It can help you notice reactions, associations, beliefs and patterns differently from simply talking about them. The drawing isn’t the goal. The shift is.

What is Neurographica?

Neurographica is a structured drawing method and one of the tools I’m trained to use. I trained as a Neurographica Instructor and Supervisor, including training in Russian directly from the source of the method. It is one method within ExpansionInk, not the entirety of my work.

Do I need to know how to draw?

No. You don’t need to consider yourself creative or artistic. We’re not trying to create gallery-worthy artwork. If you can hold a marker and make a line, you can participate in the drawing processes I teach.

What if I’m skeptical?

That’s completely fine. You don’t need to believe that a drawing has magical powers, I don’t believe that either. You can come into the process curious and pay attention to what you notice, what changes, what doesn’t and what becomes clearer. I’d much rather you experience the process and form your own opinion.

Does the drawing make things happen?

No. A drawing doesn’t send the email. It doesn’t sell your offer. It doesn’t raise your price. You do. The purpose of the work is to address what is happening inside the person who has to take those actions.

03

Programs

Where should I start if I’m not sure?

Take the Six-Figure Ceiling Assessment. It helps you identify which internal pattern may be affecting your current level of business growth and gives you a personalized place to begin. Free. Approximately 3 minutes.

What if I haven’t made online sales yet?

Start with Aligned Impact, a program designed for the earlier stage of business. It helps you move from ideas and preparation toward a clearer business direction, an offer you can sell and the actions that can lead toward your first online sales.

What if I already have a business and I’m making sales?

Private + Group Coaching is designed for that stage. If you have a real offer, customers and proof that people will pay, and you want to grow toward your first six figures, apply for coaching. The focus moves from “How do I start?” to “What needs to change in me to lead this business to its next level?”

What if I want to work with Ana privately?

You can apply for 1:1 Private Coaching. Private coaching is personalized around you, the patterns you’re working with and what’s happening in your business right now. There isn’t a generic curriculum. Application required.

Can I start with something free?

Yes. The Six-Figure Ceiling Assessment is my recommended starting point for entrepreneurs. Free, approximately 3 minutes, personalized result.

04

Business + Results

Can you help me reach six figures?

My work is increasingly focused on helping online entrepreneurs move from first sales toward their first six figures by working on the internal patterns affecting that growth. Some clients I’ve worked with have reported six-figure business results. But I will not guarantee that you will reach six figures, your starting point, offer, pricing, market, audience, sales activity, execution and many other factors affect your business results. I work on an important part of that equation: the person operating the business.

Have your clients achieved significant financial results?

Yes. Some clients have reported substantial changes in business income, including clients who reported 6–8x income growth over the period of our work together. These are real examples, not promises of what everyone will experience.

Is business growth all about mindset?

No. You still need an offer, customers, sales, marketing and execution. Internal work doesn’t replace any of that. It works on the person doing all of it.

Do you guarantee results?

No. I can provide the process, coaching, tools and support described in each offer. I cannot guarantee a specific personal, business or financial result. Your decisions and actions remain yours.

05

Practical Questions

Is this therapy?

No. ExpansionInk provides coaching, education and personal development experiences. My services are not psychotherapy, mental health treatment, medical care or a substitute for working with an appropriately qualified healthcare or mental health professional.

How much time do I need each week?

It depends on what you choose. A workshop is one sitting of an hour or two that you can repeat whenever you like. The six-week programs ask for one session a week plus a little time to draw and reflect, and the live calls are optional extras.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes, on the six-week programs. If you join The 6-Week Stress Reset or Aligned Impact and feel within 14 days that it isn’t what you signed up for, email contact@expansionink.com and you’ll get a full refund. The full details are in the Refund and Cancellation Policy.

How do I log in?

Go to Log in and enter your email. You can use your password, or ask for a login link and we’ll email you a secure link that logs you straight in. The link expires after a while, so just ask for a new one if it does.

What are Expansion Points?

Points you earn in the member area for completing lessons, practices and taking part in the community. You can see them in your dashboard and redeem them for rewards. They have no cash value.

Is the community private?

Most spaces are for members only, and each program has its own private space. A few spaces (Share Your Drawing, Wins & Progress, Questions & Support) are public, so visitors can see recent posts with your first name. You choose what you share.

Where are you based?

I’m based in Ireland and work with people internationally online.

What languages do you speak?

I speak English, Romanian and Russian. Individual availability in a particular language may depend on the program or service.

How do I access something I’ve purchased?

Use the Log In link in the website navigation to access your member area. If you’re having trouble, contact me and include the email address you used when purchasing.

What is your refund policy?

Refund and cancellation terms can vary depending on the program or product. Please check the terms displayed on the relevant offer page and the ExpansionInk Terms & Conditions before purchasing.

I have another question. How can I contact you?

Send me a message through the Contact page.
