about me

I’m compassionate, curious, and creative,

a down-to-earth, high-flying woman who is deeply connected to her heart and soul. I’m a mother, a human, a spiritual being made of flesh and bones, a visionary, and an ordinary personal growth seeker and coach—a blend of emotional belief and practical skepticism. I embody both the beginner and the expert, the artist and the manager, the teacher and the student, balancing freedom and commitment.

On my journey, I’ve earned my stripes, embraced my share of formal education, completed various studies and training, and acquired several degrees. I’ve navigated both expected and unexpected career paths, as well as personal experiences across different political systems and countries. I’ve lived in a country that no longer exists, and I draw equally from that experience and my time abroad in the Netherlands, the US, and Ecuador. I’ve worked for both large and small companies, owned my concept store and café, and crafted a coaching and design career on my own terms.

I’ve survived heart surgery, puberty, divorce, and faced embarrassments, rejections, and goodbyes. I’ve made the tough decision to quit jobs, relationships, and unhealthy habits, prioritizing my health on all levels.

I’ve created my own traps, but I’ve grown beyond them, breaking my inner chains repeatedly for new insights at each level, resulting in a vast track record of fresh starts, minor and major failures, as well as splendid successes in both my business and personal life.

I strive to feel deep joy and gratitude every day. I thrive in stillness but burst with excitement to help others spread their wings too. I am inspired to my core by the potential of what can be achieved when you follow your heart.

Because when it comes down to it, it’s about being alive. It’s about being a deliberate designer of your life. It’s about fulfilling your dreams and making miracles happen, even the impossible ones. That’s what I teach, with curiosity, creativity, and compassion.

” Figure out who you are and then do it on purpose.”

Dolly Parton

It’s not about the grandeur of your vision or the spectacular quality of your dream.
It’s about your heart, your soul, and your spirit that calls for it.

If you feel there is more to life, more to give, and more to experience, then you’re right. Life is so much more than just fulfilling your duties and checking off boxes.

If you want to discover what it could mean for you and where to start, I’m here to help.
With fire and silver, words and visions, emotions and insights.
