About

Orientalist by education, interculturalist by passion and coach by profession with long multicultural experience, including 15 years in diplomatic environment and UN.
With my passion for different cultures and positive psychology I created a unique holistic coaching model that blends life concepts from Asian and Nordic countries with positive psychology tools and other modalities that are in alignment with my own personal values and strengths.

Nature was a very important part of my life since childhood. I still spend a lot of mindful time outdoors enjoying my time in Nature. I experienced my first cultural shock during my first journey abroad when I was 5. Since then, I have never stopped being amazed by other cultures. Having a curious and observant mind allowed me to have a deeper and better understanding of the surrounding world and other cultures. As long I can remember, I also wanted to help people grow. I naturally transisioned from being a travel journalist and photographer, an intercultural communication and relocation trainer to finally becoming an international coach who globally spreads values of freedom, authenticity, joy and abundance and shares flow personality approach.

My signature strengths were always supporting me to fully embrace my unique potential. Having explorer as my main archetype only stronger empowered me to live a more authentic and more fulfilling life. I have always been open minded, tolerant, resourceful, adventurous, and amazed with what life has to offer. I live with the attitude that everything is possible, and the sky is the limit.

Thanks to my location independent coaching business I can realize all my passions: travel, learn and write about new people, new cultures and new things and capture that uniqueness through the lenses of my camera. It brings
joy, freedom, authenticity and 4thabundance to my life, and it is what I want that for my clients. I want them to live without limits aand enjoy life fully, to celebrate the smallest victories and be grateful for what they have, to be authentic and true to their values, to use their talents and strengths, to be free and fulfilled. Thus, I inspire them to ignite their passions, introduce empowering beliefs, find their purpose in life and introduce daily rituals that will support them on their way to their own abundance despite of their challenges, cultural or other.
