I was born in beautiful Czech Republic. I come from an extensive Child Development and Special Education background and I am highly experienced at working in both - public and private settings. I have spent a big portion of my life working with children of all ages, variety of developmental disorders, physical and learning disabilities and I have worn many hats within that profession. It was during those years spent building close connections with children and young individuals that I realized the importance of a role an adult plays in life of a child and how we often don’t live up to those standards, leaving the seeds of our future generations lost and wounded, one way or another.
 

  Over the years, I have realized the significant role primary caregivers play in a life of a child and their big responsibility to create nurturing and secure attachment between the two of them. Why? Because the type of attachment we develop with our primary caretaker as children is the very same attachment we bring into our romantic relationships later in life. Our attachment styles have been found to directly affect how we establish and maintain our future relationships.

 

  This understanding, in addition to my ever-growing curiosity for the human mind, along with my own personal relationship challenges and negative body image struggles, led me to a path of my own self-discovery, healing and transformation. My hunger for a higher purpose and the need for a closer connection to others then led me to coaching. I personally understand the damaging effects of such words as “normal” and “perfect” and how pressured and inadequate they can
leave you feeling if you are not on board with the crowd. I can truly relate to how exhausting fighting against labels we have been involuntarily given is, and how lonely it can make you feel, because we all naturally crave a sense of belonging. And as a person who has fallen into the trap of societal conditioning myself - and as a fighter, I feel the burning passion to help you strip away those labels and to break the boxes because they are shaped like coffins. Together, we will use empowering tools to navigate you towards feeling confident and comfortable being one of a kind - YOU!
 

  I am a strong believer that the most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with YOURSELF! No house can be built without a solid foundation. And similarly, you cannot experience healthy and authentic relationship with yourself and with those around you if you are NOT being yourself, if you are feeling disconnected from your body, if you are not clearly communicating your needs, desires and boundaries or if you don’t even know what they might be to begin with. You need to know and understand yourself before you even attempt to understand others. And the key to start finding your true Self is to start looking! YOU are the foundation for all the other relationships in your life! The journey to improve your intimate connections and to repair relationships starts with YOU!
