This is me

Life is uncertain, changeable, dynamic…we need to learn how to surf the waves of life. After many frustrations trying to control that which I could not, I learned some very valuable lessons.

 

Having a background of a 20+ years of a successful career as a lawyer with graduate degrees in Political Science and International Affairs, together with an intense, driven and perfectionist personality, I have struggled with anxiety, burn-out and constant stress.
 

I was fortunate to have faced, very early on in my life, many unique challenges that went way beyond what I was prepared to handle, and a psychotherapist suggested that I practice yoga to inhabit my body so I could feel more grounded. My yoga practice became my primordial tool to manage stress, keep my balance, and find resilience.
 

As yoga is not only the physical practice of asanas or postures, but the ultimate system of personal development, my practice led me to many transformational experiences, including ayurvedic treatments, courses and different forms of meditation.
My professional life, both in the public and private sectors, has always been complemented with my journey of self-discovery through yoga and other disciplines like Kabbalah. When the COVID 19 pandemic came about, yoga became my home and for the first time I completed two formal Yoga Teacher Training certifications (Yoga Alliance-400 hours). Also, during this time I decided to enroll in a Total Well- Being Coaching program, a study path in which you become a meditation and ayurvedic health instructor on the way.
 

During these studies, I experienced a shift and decided to quit my corporate job to start my own practice as a coach. I was ready to share what I have learned along the way. The total well-being coaching model I practice  allows me to work together with my clients to improve any aspect or their lives. I combine yoga’s holistic and multidimensional perspective of the self with the modern scientific techniques of psychology and neuroscience to achieve surprisingly effective results.
