Summary

I am a hyper creative individual and can apply it to different areas of my life as well as business. I have been fortunate to try my hand at various careers in life, the common denominator in all being interpersonal relations and communication with people.

Being a Photographer and Artist is all about communicating your inner vision to masses. I have been on both hands of directing people and taking directions from people in the process of creating my work. Building solid interpersonal relationships with clients is about being able to relate, communicate concisely and have an adaptive accepting personality and patience.

Now in my new career as Cognitive Behavioral Hypnotherapist

I feel great use in my well developed interpersonal and communication skills to builds meaningful relationships with clients and families. Experienced in working with clients from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds from my previous careers, I offer crisis intervention to help individuals navigate through traumatic experiences. As a practitioner, I am driven to improve patient lives with high-quality and caring support. Excellent planning and problem-solving skills paired with methodical and thorough approach are the key in my work.

I am very well organized and dependable professional, successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive upbeat and radiating attitude.

Love of Gym, my family and a guilty pleasure.

Gym and staying active is an integral part of my daily self-care routine. I focus and visualize with great ease while working out, channeling my energy into building blocks of manifestation. It is great a help not just in stress management, but also in energizing, staying youthful and sharp. 


My personal guilty pleasure is high performance cars and speed. Myself being an owner of a wonderful car, I love watching F1 racing live.


I have introduced all three of my children to sports from young age and its a great time for us to bond and continue building a healthy life ahead. I love being a mum to two boys 20 & 15, and a daughter, 11. All children individually through their development have taught me valuable lessons that made me a better all around human being, as well as equipped me with skills I use in my profession. Being an experienced mum is an incredibly rewarding role and I do not regret being there for them on a daily basis and putting my career off till this moment. I think in fact it is a huge plus, as I have an abundance of life wisdom and practical know-how to now apply to new career path.
