"Knowledge is so important but imagination is more than that"

Albert Einstein

Imagination is power

I am passionate about my life and what I do but I must admit, it was not always the case. My journey had many ups and downs but the timely support of random people helped me arrive to where I am now. Most importantly, I had myself. I was born with a strong sense of empathy and genuine care for others. Already at 6, I voluntarily took on every possibility to take care of babies and toddlers in the family and the neighbourhood. I could easily calm them down and make them feel safe. Now I know, the connection I was able to built was thanks to my energy, body language and subtle feelings. I was tuned into my inner “self” and followed my emotions. Life was simple then and I thought it could stay like that forever. 

Not so easy…

As I was getting older, the expectations towards me were rising. Social pressure to perform and achieve became very demanding. I suppressed my inner voice and stopped listening to my needs and desires. I tried to fit to the outside world instead of building my own plan. I felt the pressure to perform, to prove that I am worth of my existence. I became very demanding towards myself following a strict agenda. Difficult tasks turned out to be achieved easily. However, the one to be simple such as having a baby turned out to be almost impossible and came as a complete shock to me. 

 

 

It cannot be…

Out of all people, me, a person who loves children, always dreamt of becoming a mom struggled to have a baby for years. I started with denial. Fit, young and always healthy, I could not possibly be experiencing this. Anger was a natural path to follow. I was mad at myself and the world around me. I spent hours on analysing what went wrong, what I could have done better. Life became a struggle. My dream of becoming a mother was fading away and my heart was overtaken by sadness. But I did not accept the idea of not being a mother.

I realised the only thing I could control in this situation were my thoughts. Instead of visualising my life without children, I focused on imagining my two beautiful and heathy children. Sounds insane but it turns out that what we imagine tends to happen. And it did… It turned out to be just a delay, not a denial. ❤️ 

Inner Voice – how come hypnotherapy?

I was always fascinated by psychology, human mind, behaviour and development. Unfortunately, it was not trendy in ’90s so I followed others and joined the course of Social and Political Science. When the events turned up side down during my first year of college, I had to urgently find a job to survive. I tried not to deviate from my personal interests and still fit into the corporate world, therefore I chose Psychology of Management as my major. 

I was happy with my professional career but I never felt fulfilled. I constantly had that nagging voice in my head telling me that this is not my path, that I belong somewhere else but I did not know where or what that was.

I felt different at school as a child and different at work as an adult which caused a constant discomfort in my life. The biggest joy gave me the voluntary work with children at the hospital or various schools. It was true ‘me’. I was finally being myself. 

We come to this planet because we have a purpose…

After more than 40 years I finally found mine. An advertisement for an RTT school fell magically at my doorstep. Without hesitation, I jumped on the course and my beautiful journey started. Not only I gained an amazing knowledge, experience and practice but I got to work on my own issues. Like the nature in the early spring, I was blossoming. I finally felt aligned and having sense for my life. I connected all the pieces to complete my puzzle.

I feel free to finally leverage on my empathy, intuition, and pass on my energy to others. I am grateful for all those people I crossed on my path. The strangers that would open up to me with their problems. They were grateful for my kindness but it was me who benefited more in the end. Their presence was reminding me that my purpose was somewhere else than the corporate world.

I believe everybody should have a chance to achieve what they wish for and there is never too late to change the path. I managed and I feel fulfilled. Now, I want to empower others to do the same. 

My desire is to make you shine, and help you to let go of the past so you can build a new bright future. 

 

I have a great belief in people.
