About Me
As a Somatic Therapist, Certified Trauma Recovery and Systemic Coach, I integrate a broad personal, academic and professional experience into a unique approach to supporting others.
​
I LOVE to support people in reaching their fullest potential by uncovering their old systemic patterns that have been unconsciously running their lives so they can finally move forward.
I will take you through a journey to explore and understand the origins of:
-
your old patterns
-
addictions
-
and limiting behaviors...
...so that you can find healing and reconnect with your true essence.
I am trained in a variety of therapeutic methods and use them in combination from a place of knowing what each situation requires.

My Story
My own personal journey through various issues such as:
-
codependency
-
heartbreak
-
addiction
-
mental health challenges....
....and MOST importantly becoming a better parent for my son, brought me back to study and devote myself to research the approaches that not only validate my story as victim but truly support change.
These invaluable tools and approaches have healed and transformed my life.
Currently I am very happy to support and share my knowledge with people from ALL around the world looking to understand their old patterns and unentangle themselves from those parts and beliefs that keep preventing them from truly enjoying their lives and moving forward.
I would really love to connect and support you too!

Training & Certifications
I have been studying various therapeutic methods for 20+ years. Below you will find a list of some of my professional certifications. These various approaches work well together to get the desired outcome.
I believe in continuous learning so I am always improving my skills.
International Association of Trauma Recovery Coaching
Trauma recovery coaching is the process of helping people overcome trauma, and reconnect with themselves and the world while using their strengths to build a life they love living.
Somatic Experiencing International
SE is a body-oriented therapeutic model that helps heal trauma and other stress disorders. Developed by Peter Levine, Ph.D., it is the result of the multidisciplinary study of stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics, with more than 45 years of successful clinical application.
Compassionate Inquiry
Compassionate Inquiry is a psychotherapeutic method developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that reveals what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world. It helps people recognize the unconscious dynamics that run their lives and how to liberate themselves from them.

Fun Facts About Me
-
I am originally from Argentina (born in Neuquen, Patagonia) but spent many years living in Buenos Aires, Missoula Montana, Belgrade Serbia and Now I live in Almeria, Spain with my dear, wonderful boy Bogdan (means God’s Given because he is my little miracle).
-
Guilty pleasures: Zombie’s and horror movies, Glee (I love musical theater), Jane Austen (to feed my hopelessly romantic side) and watching Kill Bill and Jaws when I am angry at someone (highly recommended!).
-
I speak Serbian, but only enough to order delicious food and say bad words (people say German has the best swear words? No. Serbian. Hands-down.)
-
I hate toxic positivity, hustle culture, and spiritual bypassing that makes you feel guilty for your negative emotions.
-
I’m an Enneagram 4, always needing to be original, which is probably why I like tomato and jalapeño jam.
