My Story

Growing up in the unstable Balkans and being a ‘third-culture’ child due to my father’s diplomatic career, I was continuously challenged to adapt and transform. I was struggling when I had to leave my friends and family behind, but then I experienced a first shift in my mindset. I realised that this new situation can be seen as an opportunity to experience the world and its magnificent diversity of culture, values and beliefs. This shift helped me to live in a state of growth, rather than a state of lack, and allowed this experience to shape my anthropological nature and curiosity. 

Then, after many years of studying, working and moving countries due to studies and career (and love), I hit another wall. I was in a new country and felt misaligned with my work environment, where I faced constant struggle with loneliness and anxiety. I felt completely stuck, numb and paralysed. Like I was not living a life I was meant to be living. 

I felt it was time for another shift and step in my personal growth. This time it took much more effort, self reflection, therapy and coaching. I had to re-learn everything I thought I believed in and create new beliefs which will serve better this new version of me. I was then awakened by a new life philosophy which changed entirely how I view the world.

This new way of thinking was introduced to me through therapy sessions which then inspired my further education in psychotherapy, somatic (body) work and coaching. 

The realisation that I am the one responsible for everything that I think and feel, that I can choose how I see and construe the world and adopt those beliefs that actually work for me, allowed me to feel liberated, hopeful and motivated. It got me unstuck. 

The work I then did on myself allowed me me to face my fears, feel confident and re-gain ownership of my own life. To leave my “safe” job in a Fortune 500 company and set up a practice whilst living abroad. To transform into a version of myself that I am completely aligned with. Of course there are still struggles and obstacles on my journey, however I never question myself anymore and know I am on a path that is right for me.

Initially I didn’t think this transformation was possible because of the limiting beliefs I had. However, we are surrounded by possibilities and ideas we don’t yet know are there and working with me will help you tap into those possibilities.

I am here now to guide you, with my knowledge and learnings, through a transformation into your confident, authentic and intentional self  – in life and work. Then, you can show up authentically in your relationships, feel empowered and motivated to inspire and contribute to the wider society.
