About me

People fascinate me; how similar yet uniquely different and beautiful each one of us is. I love finding people's potentials and help them free themselves from what no longer serves. I believe we all have a chance to live a happy life and enjoy being here.

 

Now in my 40s my child-like spirit is coming out stronger than ever: curiosity, exploring, laughing, experimenting, creating, being free and spontaneous like it’s nobody’s business ;) - simply being madly in love with life. But it took me years to discover that part in me. 

 

Years of depression and struggle led me to a spiritual path in my late 20s. After catholic upbringing followed by a few years of atheism, I discovered yoga (initially just for fun), dived deeply into Ayurveda to heal my physical issues (it worked!) and Vipassana meditation to help with my mental/emotional challenges. This was just the beginning of my journey.

 

Deep healing, expanding my awareness and finding the magic of everyday life became my priority. Whatever I learned, I would always ask (as a typical Virgo) ‘How can I use it in real life? How does this actually help?’ Theories, philosophies, and understanding on an intellectual level are secondary to me - I learn mainly through experimenting and putting teachings into practice to see how they actually work in life. Wisdom can’t be found in books or podcasts but only through life experiences; through courageously embodying the insights, knowledge and spiritual experiences. 

 

I’ve lived in different countries for over 20 years, I learn from teachers, shamans, healers of many different traditions so I am not closed to one trend, culture or religion. I don't believe there is one right way that fits all. There is so much beauty to discover if we open our mind and go beyond the shoulds and shouldn'ts :) 

Grounded spirituality, responsibility, honesty, compassion  

 

The path that I am following and which I propose to you is the path of grounding, making spirituality real, tangible - a sincere look at yourself, noticing what requires some work, understanding what your soul wants to manifest in this life and finding that part in you which is already whole, perfect and full of love. 

 

The most important aspect of my work is respect to your inner wisdom and trusting your process. I guide, ask questions, help you find your own answers. I will not philosophise, theorise or tell you how you should be or act. I believe that only in this way what you learn, heal, understand during our meeting will be your personal truth and will allow you to continue your growth without my support. I hope that cooperation with me will allow you to become a more independent person and that you will take your life and your happiness into your own hands.
