All work Case study
01 Intro · Okolice Ciała · Coaching & education platform

Okolice Ciała runs its six-month “Jestem” programme on a platform built from scratch with WAYF.

Okolice Ciała is a personal-development and systemic coaching platform founded by Marianna Gierszewska, an actress, author, and activist who turned her own experience with chronic illness into a mission around self-acceptance and healing. WAYF built the platform entirely from scratch to fit how the program actually runs, from live webinars and breathwork sessions to podcasts and journaling practices.

03 The challenge

A multi-month coaching program, with no platform yet built to hold it together.

Okolice Ciała's flagship program, "Jestem," delivers over 72 hours of workshop content across six months: live webinars, therapeutic exercises, breathwork sessions, podcasts, and journaling practices led by Gierszewska and invited specialists from Poland and abroad. Thousands of participants come to the program seeking deeper self-awareness and emotional healing. None of that had a platform built around it yet — the brief was to build the education platform from scratch, fit to how the program and its customers actually work.


04 How we approached it

Design and engineering, built around one specific program: its six-month structure, its live sessions, its reflection practices.

WAYF handled the UX and UI design, the visual system, and the underlying web application, then took it into production with dedicated product engineering. The platform holds the full shape of the "Jestem" program: multi-month structure, live sessions, on-demand content, and the journaling and reflection practices that run alongside the workshops.

The platform was built entirely from scratch to fit Okolice Ciała's customers' requirements. The program's rhythm — six months, live plus recorded, structured plus reflective — shaped the product.
