The Vision Behind M Cohen Group

At Cross & Cohen Group, our mission is to guide people back into their authentic power through conscious transformation of body, mind, and soul.

Real change begins within — by understanding the roots of our patterns, rewriting limiting stories, and choosing growth with clarity and intention.

Through holistic coaching, spiritual mindset work, and conscious publishing, we help turn lived experiences into wisdom, purpose, and lasting legacy.

We stand for truth, integrity, and the freedom that comes from inner alignment.

Because when awareness meets action, transformation becomes inevitable —
and every person holds the power to create a life that reflects their highest potential.

Meet the Coaches

At the heart of the Cross & Cohen Group is a gentle meeting of two guiding forces —Neal’s grounded strength and steady presence, and Malaika’s intuitive wisdom and transformative guidance.

Together, they create a space where people feel safe to open, evolve, and grow. A space where the body is strengthened, the mind is clarified, and the soul is gently guided home to itself.

Their work is an invitation: to rise, to heal, and to rediscover your highest potential.

  • Malaika Cohen is an author, spiritual life mentor, and co-founder of the Cross & Cohen Group, a visionary organization dedicated to consciousness development, coaching, fitness, and boutique publishing. Her work blends profound lived experience, emotional intelligence, and a remarkably clear understanding of human growth, awareness, and healing.

    Born as Angelika Binas, she writes under her author and brand name Malaika Cohen — a symbol of transformation, expanded consciousness, and the rebirth into one’s true self. Her books and her coaching carry the signature of a woman who not only speaks about strength but has lived it.

    Through her acclaimed book series “Shackles”, she shares not only her own journey out of emotional and psychological bondage, but also offers readers a roadmap toward self-liberation, awareness, and inner truth. Her upcoming work “Consciousness vs Perception” deepens this exploration: a philosophical and spiritual investigation into perception, conditioning, and the truth behind human consciousness.

    As a coach, Malaika works intuitively, clearly, directly — and with deep compassion. She supports individuals in breaking old patterns, realigning their identity, and creating a life rooted in inner clarity rather than pain. Her approach weaves together consciousness work, emotional transmutation, inner child and shadow work, energetic integration, and modern coaching methodologies.

    Together with her partner Neal Cross, she built the Cross & Cohen Group — a multidimensional company merging transformation in body, mind, and soul. With M&C Publishing House, she also founded a boutique hybrid publishing company that supports authors in turning their lived experiences into meaningful, high-quality book works.

    Today, Malaika dedicates her life to inspiring and empowering people worldwide, helping them reclaim who they truly are — without masks, without fear, without limits.

    Her work is a call to all who are ready to rewrite their story.
