About me

I’m a rehabilitated overthinker & control freak, who after a whole life believing and trusting only in logic, science and the value of intelligence, doing what is "right" and pushing myself to be better, harder and more, inevitably Burnout.

It was a massive wake-up call. My whole world collapsed and in spite of my constant efforts. It took a long time to get back on my feet because I kept doing what I knew to make things right: pushing myself harder - researching, doing, learning, trying this and that. Basically looking everywhere for reasons, answers, a solution and a cure that would fix me.

The upside is I learned an experienced a lot about so many things. The downside, I got worse.

To get out of this cycle, I had to change everything. I had to quit my job, my marriage and start over; to leave everything that gave me a false sense of security, put down my defense mechanisms and get in touch with my sensitive side: my feelings and my beliefs. Not easy it all.

I had to work, and still continue working, on overcoming traumas, letting go of limiting beliefs, releasing blocked feelings and habits that I don’t need anymore. I had to learn to give things better priorities and not to take things that have nothing to do with me, personal.

The reward was that I learned to appreciate and embrace all those “illogical” parts (basically the rest) of me which actually make life worth living.

I got to know and accept myself, my body, my way of being and now take much better care of myself.

I learned how much knowledge, intelligence and resilience lives in me (and all of us) and to trust it along with my intuition.

I spend most of my time here and now instead of the past or the future.

It's amazing how so many things are more enjoyable, easier, natural and ‘feel right’ when I am not trying to plan/control them, “I don’t know better” nor I’m focused on “being right”, but am instead paying attention and letting myself be surprised by what is.

I began to attract and surround myself with people who are good for me. Who not only love and accept me as I am, but really value the ‘real honest me’. Who support me and help me grow. Who are there for me. I’ve also become much more social and friendly than I ever was. I appreciate every person who crosses my path.

And after a lot of soul-searching, I eventually found out what I really want to do with my time and energy: to share all this knowledge and experience (my purpose):

To help people get to know, love and trust themselves; be authentic, be present. To facilitate the release of blockages, fears and whatever is holding them back, so they can live the life they want to live. In a practical and holistic way, which is not only efficient (real long lasting change) but that respects each person’s individuality to enable them to go through the process empowered and balanced."

I still struggle sometimes with perfectionism, overachieving and all those happy little issues that come from a lifetime of “bad programming and habits”, but instead of beating myself up, I now notice those issues, am grateful for the experience and try to do something about them which is useful for me.

And most importantly, I enjoy my path and all its happy little events and mishaps every step of the way. Because for me that's what life is all about: experience, learn, grow, share & release.
