My professional journey began as a result of a personal quest. My first step was discovering Yoga, and today I am a certified RYS 500 yoga instructor. Later, I was introduced to Vipassana meditation. Through the training and retreats I attended at the Wise Foundation in Malaysia, I learned to observe my breath and my mind in silence. This experience became the foundation of a practice that continues to this day, as well as the blog articles I wrote for the Wise Foundation.

To deepen the scientific and psychological foundations of mindfulness, I completed MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) and MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) trainings. During this process, I became listed as a Global MBSR Teacher with Brown University in the United States. Through this experience, I discovered that mindfulness is not only for retreat settings but can also be integrated into the stressful and uncertain moments of everyday life, bringing clarity and balance.

To gain a deeper understanding, I completed my master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychology at Liverpool John Moores University in the UK, followed by a Transpersonal Coaching program. Today, I contribute both academically and practically as a member of the Editorial Board of the Transpersonal Coaching Psychology Journal, published in the UK. Through these experiences, I embraced an approach that focuses not only on individual goals but also on mind–spirit integration and the mind’s influence on the body.

My introduction to Ayurveda marked another turning point in my journey. I completed the Ayurveda Wellness Coach and Ayurvedic Health Counselor programs at the Shakti School in Los Angeles. Ayurveda has helped me deeply understand that the body is not only a physical structure but also an interconnected whole — woven with elements, emotions, memories, and life experiences.

To better guide those ready for transformation, I earned my ICF Level 2 certification from the International Coaching Federation. I integrated Life Coaching, Breathwork Coaching, Quantum Coaching, and NLP methods into my practice.

Most recently, to expand the range of wisdom and tools I offer to meet the unique needs of my clients, I completed the IFS Coaching certification through the Internal Family Systems Institute in Illinois, USA. This approach allows me to guide individuals in recognizing the different parts of their inner world, building compassionate relationships with these parts, and fostering deeper inner harmony.

Bringing together these diverse areas of training is the result of an evolving awareness over time. I have come to see that a human being is not solely the mind or the body; emotions, experiences, and spiritual orientation are also integral parts of the whole. For this reason, my intention is to accompany my clients in ways that are both grounded in science and illuminated by ancient wisdom.

My coaching approach is built on two pillars: a scientific foundation and ancient wisdom. Below, you will find the certifications that support these areas.

Here are the certifications and diplomas that reflect and support my journey in these fields.
