Reconnect with your authentic self and create the life you deserve.
Live the life you desire, love, and can’t wait to wake up for every day.
My understanding of these experiences unfolded gradually, beginning with my exploration of human psychology in high school, continuing through my undergraduate degree in the field, and extending into my ongoing independent studies. I sought to understand why I felt different, why I struggled with fitting in, why self-acceptance and self-love were challenges, why my romantic and intimate relationships were dysfunctional, and how to manage these issues. My confidence was low, yet I instinctively tried to boost it in areas where I felt I had control—through professional achievements, sports and athletic accomplishments, artistic and creative pursuits, and both formal and informal education.

Your Guide on the Journey to Transformation and Healing
and Manifesting your perfect life
As a Transformational Growth Coach and Mentor I help high achievers overcome personal and professional crises and challenges to create joyful, fulfilling, and purpose-driven lives
My story is both distinctive and relatable. Despite being surrounded by many loving and caring individuals during my childhood, I faced a significant challenge during my most formative years. I was exposed to an abusive and toxic individual who had a profoundly negative impact on my life at the time—someone I couldn't escape. This contrast between receiving unconditional love from some family members and facing radical rejection from another created a dichotomy that I had to constantly reconcile, leading to a great deal of confusion. On one side, I experienced love, care, warmth, empathy, sensitivity, and healthy emotional expression, while on the other, I was met with disappointment, hurt, pain, abuse, and abandonment. Although I was always aware of my fear of this person, I didn't realize at the time that I would walk away with deep trauma that would affect nearly two decades of my adult life.
The truth is, my lack of self-acceptance, deeply rooted in my past, permeated all the vital areas of my life. It impacted how I built relationships, set boundaries, communicated, and dealt with anxiety, stress, and the numerous triggers I encountered. Entering the corporate world provided a temporary mask for some of these struggles, as my attention shifted from personal to professional matters. I kept myself constantly busy with activities like horseback riding, boxing, Muay Thai, and cycling. My remaining time was filled with family, friends, drawing, and writing. I coped by staying so occupied that I didn’t confront the underlying issues—my old mental programming, self-image, narratives, and beliefs. On top of that, I was battling a debilitating autoimmune condition that caused relentless pain and discomfort, robbing me of restful sleep for years. Juggling long hours at work, constant fatigue, chronic pain, and overwhelming confusion about how to manage everything, I felt as though I was only digging myself into a deeper hole.
Throughout my journey, I encountered numerous resources and guidance, but they were often fragmented and sometimes contradictory, which only added to my confusion and prolonged the process. This experience made it clear to me that I could offer significant value by creating comprehensive coaching programs that consolidate thousands of resources, principles, scientifically-backed solutions, and tools, all aimed at delivering breakthrough outcomes for my clients. Having navigated these challenges myself and having benefited from working with incredible coaches, I am confident in my ability to help others like you efficiently navigate these complexities. I can help you achieve exponential progress and growth, effectively reducing the time it takes to transform from years to months. Together, we will meticulously uncover your vision, set long-term goals, and develop detailed micro-actions to help you reach your desired outcomes—all while learning to appreciate the journey.
Living abroad as well as in the US, gave me a broad experience and understanding of cultural differences, customs, norms, morals, which allowing me to connect with and relate to people from all over the world.
As a Digital Product Manager in healthcare, I realized that, both from my experience as a patient and from observing healthcare organizations, our system is ill-equipped to support those struggling with autoimmune problems, trauma, anxiety, stress, and psychological and behavioral challenges. Recognizing this gap, I saw an opportunity to step in and provide coaching as a more accessible solution. One that targets deep-rooted issues rather than just symptoms, and removes barriers existing within the current system.
Today, I work as a Transformation Coach, specializing in personal empowerment, confidence-building, career and life path transformation, reconnecting with one's true authentic self, and creating the life you love living every day. In my personal life, I found balance, peace, and a healthy loving relationship with a very supportive, and caring partner to who I am immensely grateful, and who supports me in all my endeavors, cheers me on, and helps me expand the vision beyond my vision.

Unresolved issues led me to repeat familiar patterns, which became glaringly evident in my first marriage that turned out a big failure. These painful experiences triggered life-altering changes that I could no longer ignore, control, or manage, forcing me to confront reality. This marked my breaking point, and my journey toward intentional living truly began after my divorce. I moved far away from everyone and everything I knew and embarked on a journey of self-discovery and creating the life I deeply desired. During this time, I began laying the foundation within myself necessary to build the life I craved. Although those years were challenging, the growth I experienced was immense and transformative.
