manifestationbabe.com Reviews 734

I've debated writing this review for a couple of years. (The podcast Kathrin posted talking about needing to let go of her personal chef is really what broke the entire facade for me… Kathrin ONLY got wealthy by making promises to others on building wealth. This is an MLM where you are at the bottom just giving her money to become wealthy by her telling you how she got wealthy… by you helping her do it.) I've taken numerous of Kathrin's courses over the years. Initially I felt they were helpful (I was optimistic and totally bought into ‘manifestation’..alas!), but I realize now it was just encouraging me to change my mindset and take action in life. The way she markets is that you’ll get something profound that you can’t find reading a book or listening to a free youtuber on getting your shit together. The ‘manifestation’ is through ACTION. Take ACTION on your goals and you’ll build your career, improve your health, grow your business, find love, etc.

But this is for the young impressionable women that are struggling financially (that Manifestation Babe and other ‘manifestation coaches’ appeal to): YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY ANY OF THESE COURSES. In fact, DO NOT BUY THESE COURSES IF YOU DON'T HAVE 3 mos of expenses saved and have started an investment account (this is actually what will set you up for financial success, not ‘manifesting it’). (I know this may fall on deaf ears bc I once believed it all too..) You will make more money putting the money you would spend on ANY of these courses in an index fund, investing in a licensed counselor to work on your mental health, investing in your business (so long as it's not about manifesting), paying off debts, or even a high yield savings account. Skip the courses, make a list about goals, make a list of steps needed to get there. Go.

I’d be richer if I hadn’t wasted thousands of dollars on these courses. (Again, yes, I’ll note they encouraged a change in my mindset. Which HAS helped me run a successful business and build financial stability. BUT there was NOTHING the courses gave me that was worth the money I didn’t easily get from free content readily available online. But, damn, she’s good at marketing!) Although, I frame it as a ‘learning opportunity’. Because it was. I took them all, did all the homework, all the things. The ‘secret’ in any of these courses and success is ACTION. You just need to make a plan and take steps every day to get there. Listen to free youtube content about building a business, habit building, building relationships, improving your health, etc. PLEASE learn from my experience and save your money.

I’m convinced at the sheer quantity of 700+ reviews that most 5 star ones are from her “team” which are mostly made up of VA’s. If she has a lot reviews it buries the true 1 star ones. I had done MBA before and sovereign money, which was an actual SCAM. Her paid content is basic and she invested in her free content to get you to pay for the actual paid content, which isn’t even as good.
Kathrin is a Shapeshifter who went from posting content about her lifestyle/travel/cars/aspirational social content into order to sell people courses on how they can “ manifest their dream life” to now posting highly emotionally charged content; showing you she’s always going through something hard and how she constantly is coming out on the other side and how you can too.
It’s emotional emotionally manipulative and predatory.
Do not invest in dime in any of her products, you can easily read the secret, learn neville Goddard, Bob Proctor etc she is simply regurgitating already available information.

You don’t need anything or anyone other than yourself to change yourself/your life. It took me following her since 2021 to learn that she lies, contradicts herself, and speaks confidently, which just makes you believe the things she’s saying. She’s constantly having “shamanic deaths “downloads” “awakenings” all of these hot keywords to make you think she’s superior to you or more connected than you. She is absolutely not.

Manifestation Babe is a polished house of mirrors: 90% branding, 5% affirmation, and 5% actual coaching value—wrapped in a yacht-filtered Instagram delusion. If you’re cash-strapped, emotionally vulnerable, or trauma-affected, treat this like fast fashion spirituality: looks good, but the seams fall apart fast. She is lacking substance and uses flashy marketing gimmicks to scam you out of your money.

I want to preface this review by saying that when I first discovered Kathrin Zenkina (aka Manifestation Babe), I was exactly the person she targets: financially vulnerable, emotionally raw, and desperately searching for some kind of hope, purpose, and empowerment.
Now, years and thousands of dollars later, I can say with full confidence: What Kathrin Zenkina is selling is not personal development. It is weaponized hope trafficking.
The first red flag I now see — one I didn’t recognize back then — was how aggressively Zenkina marketed her personal luxury as evidence that her methods worked. Designer bags, luxury villas, $800 spa days, private jet photo ops — all blasted across social media in an endless loop. The message was clear:
"Look at my life. I manifested this. You can too — if you buy my programs."

What I didn’t fully grasp was that this entire lifestyle was being funded by people like me. People who emptied savings accounts, maxed out credit cards, or even took out loans believing they were investing in a guaranteed path to financial freedom.
When I finally dove into her paid courses, my excitement slowly curdled into confusion, frustration, and eventually anger. The content itself was often thrown together at the last minute — she openly admitted during MBA that she was recording modules a week or two in advance.
What’s worse is that much of the material wasn’t even hers. I eventually realized that the frameworks she presented were directly lifted from other popular self-proclaimed manifestation and coaching gurus.
What frightens me most, looking back, is how dangerously close she dances to unlicensed therapy. Zenkina regularly discusses trauma healing, identity shifting, hypnotherapy, and shadow work — practices that require formal qualifications, clinical expertise, and ethical boundaries she simply does not have.
If you’re considering joining Manifestation Babe Academy, Rich Babe Academy, or any of her programs, hear this:
Her wealth was not created through manifestation. It was created by extracting money from vulnerable people like you, selling stolen content dressed up in spiritual language, and blaming you for any failure.

Everything she teaches can be found online for free — much of it from the original sources she plagiarized. She is not a business genius. She is not a manifestation master. She is, at best, an extremely talented marketer who built a luxury lifestyle on a foundation of false promises and other people’s suffering.

I regret every dollar I gave her. But I am grateful to be free.

If you’re reading this and still on the fence:
Please — keep your money, keep your sanity, and run.

Kathrin Zenkina and MB have changed my life in every area. I may not be a millionaire but now I am just so happy, honestly grateful and happy for all I have. I never really understood spirituality before and how the Universe truly works, but I started this incredible journey right here with Kathrin. She honestly has the best intentions and cares for all her students. I have so much respect for this person who cared enough to create such a thorough course. If you feel the investment is a lot for MBA, consider the monthly installments. This is what I did and I wasn't sure on everything when I was led here but I am so glad I did. Thank you Kathrin, thank you Team MB. xx

Stealing money from "scholarship" recipients. Yes I have been trying to get my money back for going on 4 years now. On August 24, 2021, I paid a $111 deposit through Stripe to Manifestation Babe, LLC for enrollment in the BBIPOC tMBA Scholarship Program. The terms of the program clearly stated that if I completed the program, I would receive a full refund of my deposit. I have the the terms and conditions from 2021 that clearly state this. I've noticed that all the posts they had about the program are deleted/archived off of the socials.

I successfully completed the program and submitted the refund request form on March 10, 2022. The company acknowledged receipt of this form. However, they refused to process my refund, citing an internal deadline of March 8, 2022. This deadline was not part of the original agreement or contract and was never agreed to in writing. They claimed they could not process the refund because their payment processor (PayPal/Stripe 🤷🏾‍♀️) would no longer allow them to issue the deposit refund beyond a certain window. They also stated that the form I submitted was needed to collect information such as updated payment details (why do you need updated payment info anyway just refund the money back the same way you received it and if it bounces back you send a check like any other business does). However, this justification is undermined by the fact that they received the form just two days after their own arbitrary deadline and could have contacted me to resolve any processing issues. Furthermore, their own communications contradict the rigid enforcement of this deadline. In an email, a representative wrote that if I had contacted them “a few days after” the deadline, a solution could have been reached. I did, in fact, submit the required form just two days later. Their failure to refund the deposit despite acknowledging my compliance constitutes unfair and deceptive behavior. On December 7, 2024, I sent a formal demand letter by certified mail with signature required, requesting my refund within 10 business days. The company has not responded, and I remain uncompensated. I even sent them a request on PayPal for my refund and they still didn't send my refund. Their claim is they can't refund me because their payment processor won't allow it, but when given an opportunity to refund it they cancelled the request. I believe Manifestation Babe, LLC has violated fair billing and refund practices by withholding funds that are contractually owed to me, while also ignoring their own statements that exceptions could be made. I have also submitted a complaint with the BBB and CFPB regarding this matter.

The Manifestation Babe program was one of the most comprehensive and life changing programs I have ever completed. I have to admit that I didn’t know what to expect but I believed so much in the work and in the process. Every module exceeded my expectations. They were detailed and explained clearly and consciously. The monthly Q&A’s were very helpful and the bonuses that accompanied the course literally answers any questions you may have. There are so many that I am able to take my time and go through them all at my own pace because on top of all of the goodies, the course is mine for life! I completed the October 2024 cohort that ran through April of 2025. It helped me to become clear on not only my goals and what I wanted out of life but I truly gained clarity on where I was and the steps I had to take to evolve and become a better version of myself. It has helped me in all areas of my life but particularly my relationships, finances, career and most importantly it reminded me that overall, loving myself first, is at the core of it all. The modules provided so much insight, I learned valuable lessons and tools on how to become the creator of my life, instead of just a bystander, by making things happen for myself instead of just allowing things to happen. We are all so much powerful than we know and the manifestion babe truly reminded me of that through her support and honestly, the plain gift she has of being a guide and a teacher. She truly wants everyone to succeed and pours her heart into ensuring that her students get the absolute most of her course. If you are second guessing on the investment, please consider where you have been. How your life has been. And what the knowledge and tools from this program can provide. In just six short months, I have gained clarity and have made life altering decisions like never before. Without fear, without anxiety. I trust more in myself and know that everything I learned on this course has helped to guide my way and will continue to serve me for the rest of my existence.

I loved MBA. Is a transformation process from the mind to the heart, with baby steps so you can integrate not only what you want to manifest, but also your personal transformational journey. I love it.

How do I fully describe in words a course that has transformed every aspect of my life thus far?... My mindset, my beliefs, my action(s), saying YES to myself and fully trusting that the Universe has totally got me. I am in awe of how much has changed in the past 5 months, and I look forward to my life unfolding in beautiful ways. So grateful the Universe brought MBA to me and I am even more grateful to my past self for saying "Yes". Cheers to transformation.

The MBA course is the absolute best value of ANY course and certification I’ve completed. I took the course back in 2020 and it’s still giving me support. The breadth of topics covered is unmatched. And the true continual access to the program including notifications of updated modules and suggestions on how to complete the course again show Kathryn’s abundance mindset of generosity. Best course investment I’ve ever made. So very grateful for this!

I joined MBA on the BIPOC scholarship scheme. I am so grateful and blessed to have been a part of this course. The financial commitment of MBA was out of grasp for me as I'm a doctor with whopping student debt, so when I got the opportunity to join MBA I did with my full heart and force! Over the last 20 weeks, I have watched my mindset shift change for the better! I shedded mental blocks about being different and being selfish for wanting more! I realized I had a lot of baggage of unworthliness and programming to please others to let go of. I have love and talent that I have been supressing in the arts as this is not the focus of my profession, and I am finally out there ready to be seen and appreciated for my unique gifts! I overcame a life long wound of not fitting in and realized through the program that I am a chameleon and this is my super power. Throughout the program I was showered with unexpected and extravagant gifts and holidays, mentors came out of the blue and my capacity to received expanded a hundred fold. I am a Christian, and I found this program strengthened my trust and reliance on God, which I did not expect from a secular program! I also started dating after a 3 year hiatus! MBA is hard work. I cried, screamed, felt unmotivated, felt sorry for myself and this is all normal. My accountability partners experienced this as well. It's part of the process. Don't give up! Too many people start and stop before any changes can take place. I know my major changes begin now the course has ended as I take action. I am looking forward to doing this course again and again. I highly recommend this program, and if I had the financial means at the time of signing up, I would have said it was worth every dollar!

Having been saved from the new-age, and opening my eyes to not only how idolised Manifestation Babe is, but how her success is a direct result of having ADHD (not normal), I feel nothing but betrayed, angry and regretful for spending $3000 on her course.

Firstly, the kind of manifestation she teaches in the course is very, very self-aggrandising. I can’t believe I fell for it. It’s all about “me me me”, and making you believe the FALSE idea that you are “infinite potential” and the “universe is conspiring in your favour”. Since being saved from the new-age, these beliefs are detrimental. It doesn’t lead to fulfilment, only everlasting emptiness and not-enoughness. I certainly felt that way after taking the course, and yes I did all the activities. I’m not saying this from bitterness from not being “successful” either; I consider myself very blessed with a wonderful husband and daughter, so this is not one of those “I’m unhappy with my life so I’m taking someone else down” reviews. It’s plain honesty.

Secondly, if you want a thriving relationship / marriage, do not to try and be like Manifestation Babe (as I was led into try becoming), because it will absolutely wreck the dynamics in your relationship. I’m so glad I woke up to it, stopped trying to become a multi-millionaire boss babe, and let myself be provided for by my husband.

Thirdly, Kathrin has now made it public that she was diagnosed with ADHD. If you haven’t already noticed the shear amount of “successful” entrepreneurs coming out with this condition, it’s time we wake up, because it’s not due to their “subconscious reprogramming” that they “manifested” success, but their ADHD. It is not normal, though I understand it is a real diagnosis and condition. ADHD drives extreme success, the type that the normal person doesn’t have the extreme thoughts and obsession to obtain - which is okay!!! It’s just upsetting that someone who preached “shifting your beliefs” and “regulate your nervous system” to obtain success, actually had ADHD all along. It’s not a superpower, it’s a condition you need to deal with, as it affects the people around you. I know this because someone in my family has it, and dealing with their minds constantly wondering and not being able to hold a conversation for more than 2 minutes because they become fixated on something, is just exhausting.

I only wish I had read a review like this before wasting $3000 on a course that is rooted in idolising yourself.

Knowing Manifestation Babe, this honest review is something she would call a “hater who is projecting their limiting beliefs”, again highlighting her self-aggrandising behaviour. This is not “hate”, and I never wish to spread that. I have in fact never ever left a one-star review before, so to do this took a lot in me, and I do it in the hopes to save someone else from splurging $3000 on a course that will not make your life in any way better. If you want to feel happier, more fulfilled and at peace in life, go and help someone instead, and/or pray to God. It’s free, and way way way more fulfilling.

Please do not spend your money with this woman. If I can help save one person from the experience with her, I will feel better. She is a fraud and when you call her out on her behavior and try to hold her accountable, she will gaslight you and try to make you feel like something is wrong with you.

Her Sovereign Money program is an overpriced con that she sold as a way to create generational wealth. After the fact, she disappeared for over a month - while she took luxury trips and lived a life of leisure. When questioned about it, we were told she was creating this program from her feminine (basically: “How DARE you question her??”). It was never positioned this way and people were very frustrated.

The content in this program was laughable. It was a podcast (no workbook) riddled with weird errors, stuttering, distracting “ums”, super poor quality meditations, breathwork (really? Your subpar breathwork will make me rich?), and content with zero substance.

She left a breathwork early because she “had an appointment”. Aside from the content being worthless, she just did not seem to care (or committed) about the people who just gave her a ton of money.

I don’t think this is a person who should be giving out financial, spiritual, OR mental health advice. She has no concrete success or achievements in her life, I don’t think she has the finances she presents herself as having, and I don’t think she’s trustworthy. She couldn’t get a job as a tanning salon receptionist but she’s going to lead people to extreme wealth? The math ain’t mathin.

And I’m not alone. Several other people in this group agreed (I’d say the majority). But that won’t stop her from gaslighting you.

You are better saving or investing your money. PLEASE do NOT give this person your money. It is not going to help you in any way and you will be worse off.

Please be aware that Kathrin is routinely offering incentives for 5 star reviews, so vast majority of the reviews here are biased.

Before forking over 3k for MBA, check out lifecoach scammers on Reddit.
You'll find plenty of real experiences with Kathrin as well.

She's a con artist, right up there with Melanie Ann Layer, Amanda Frances, Kathrina Ruth & Andrea Crowder. Peddling regurgitated stuff you can easily find online for free.

I've wasted money on three of her programms until i finally came to my senses.
There's NOTHING in there that will help you change your life for better.
There's no secret sauce or magic bullet.
She's a good marketer & knows how to use her inflated lifestyle to grift money from people
who want the same.
She didn't 'manifested' any of it.
It's bought with $$$ she makes by selling overpriced courses about manifesting.

I used to waste 5-10k on online courses every year.
Thinking something is wrong with me because i didn't magically created the promised results.
Talking myself into the next 'container' because this one sounds more 'potent' and surely has the 'codes' that will cause the 'shift'.

I got sick & tired of this bs few months ago, deleted Instagram, unsubscribed from all newsletters
& lo and behold - my life is getting better.
Turns out i didn't have 'blocks that needed to be melted away'.
I needed to slap myself back to common sense, start spending less than i make & become financially literate.

Please don't fall for this bs.
Again - check Subreddits such as LifeCoachSnark or videos by Danielle Ryan on Youtube before parting with your money.
You won't be getting anything of value for it.
You'll only fund her next Chanel handbag which she'll promptly flaunt on Instagram to grift the next round of dewy-eyed souls.

The MBA program I purchased is very interesting and thorough and I can totally see the value, IF you are committed and make the time. HOWEVER if you do not have TIME to commit, you will waste thousands of your hard earned dollars. I fell behind because I work and study, and found the pace/load just way too heavy. I just wasn't enjoying it. I intend on getting back to it, but tbh I've lost my mojo and have watched my money go down the drain. My advice is, if you haven't got the money straight up, DO NOT sign up, as I did, for a payment plan. I watch each month as hundreds of dollars are charged to my CC and I feel sick, because I simply cannot afford it. I'm normally so considered when committing to something like this, but the time allocation for study, along with real life issues, totally caught be unawares and I personally found it unworkable.
Having said this. I can see others seemingly have very much enjoyed. So, I just ask you to be aware of what you're signing up to.

Not Worth It.

Purchased the full MBA program a while back and recently the new Vision Board workshop, which I was told was "totally new" and completely different from the vision board stuff in the MBA program (which claims to be the *only* program you'll ever need and you have lifetime access to updates. I feel like this wasn't honest of her and her team to promote it like this and don't feel the Vision Board workshop was worth it at all.

Also, she's asking women for free labor (MBA graduates to commit to 40-60 hours in exchange for 'energy'...) and is a 7-figure earner yet somehow posted a job she's hiring a full-timer for $48,000 USD in Los Angeles? Something seems very off and it's disappointing.

The daily marketing emails are too aggressive as well.

This course should not cost thousands of dollars. The marketing for it is predatory and relies on a lot of FOMO. It has some useful info but most of it you can find for free. Also this creator asks people to leave positive reviews in exchange for entry into a giveaway which I’m pretty sure is fraud.

Kathrin Zenkina is a fraud and engages in deceptive, manipulative marketing. Her entire business is built on predatory marketing, exploiting people’s pain points, targeting vulnerable populations, etc., not to mention she treats her employees poorly and solicits unpaid labor. I’m leaving this review because she is bribing people into leaving positive reviews for a free offer, which is unethical and against FTC regulations. It’s only a matter of time before her business shuts down as more and more consumers become educated about their rights and the FTC cracks down on online business scams. I have taken her MBA course and there’s nothing in there that you can’t learn for free on the internet. If I could leave negative stars, I would.

What Katherin offers in MBA is just a repackaging of a combination of other people’s work and she sells it as this thing that will make you as rich as her when in reality she got rich by selling MBA. One of the biggest scammers out there. Oh and all these 5 star reviews here are just here because people are entering a giveaway to win a free program from Kathrin. She sent out an email blast to review her here and send a screenshot over to her so of course people will put 5 stars and write something biased.
