MY STORY

My journey wasn't easy, but it taught me everything

I've lived in 8 countries, travelled the world, tried all kinds of sports, danced, built a career in TV, and spent years running at full speed until life started asking me to slow down whether I was ready or not.A difficult relationship with mentally ill person. Burnout. Loss of beloved one. And then my body joined in too. Two knee injuries, a bulging disc, severe sciatica that eventually cost me my TV career and sent me back home to Slovakia, to my parents' sofa, wondering what came next.Breathwork and meditation had been part of my life long before any of this happened. But it was in that stillness, when everything else had fallen away, that I finally decided to share what had been quietly saving me. I wasn't new to this work. Eight years of breathwork, six years of therapy, five years of mindset coaching across different styles and approaches. Certification wasn't a career move. It was the moment I decided to own what I'd always been doing. Things slowly started to feel lighter.Then I went to Uganda to volunteer. And just when life felt like it was rebuilding, I tore my ACL and meniscus completely.I'm not telling you this for sympathy. I'm telling you this because when I sit with you, whether we're talking about your recovery, your nervous system, or what you're breathing through, I'm not guessing what it feels like to have your life turned upside down.I know.

COACHING

I coach injured humans. Not just athletes.

There is plenty of support for the physical side of injury. Physio, surgery, rehabilitation. But the mental side? It's mostly left to chance. And yet that's often where the hardest battle happens.I say injured humans, not athletes, for two reasons. First, there is already a lot of support specifically for professional athletes. Second, and more importantly, you don't need to be an athlete for movement to be a core part of who you are. Maybe you danced, hiked, gardened, or simply walked to feel like yourself. When that gets taken away, the loss goes far deeper than fitness.Everyone going through injury goes through identity loss. That part is rarely talked about.

What makes injury so hard mentally

When you're injured, your brain doesn't just register physical pain. It registers threat. Uncertainty. Loss of control. And it starts filtering everything through that lens, making setbacks feel bigger, progress feel slower, and doubt feel louder than it needs to be.What you focus on shapes what you experience. That's not motivational fluff, it's neuroscience. And it means that with the right support, you can actively change your relationship with recovery, not just endure it.

How we work together

We start where most people never start, with your emotions. Not analysing them, not bypassing them. Actually feeling and releasing them. Emotions are energy in motion, and when we suppress them, they don't disappear. They just go underground.From there we move into acceptance, not giving up, but seeing your situation clearly enough to work with it.
Then we open up new possibilities. Who are you becoming through this? What is being built in you that couldn't have been built any other way?Throughout our work together I draw on neuroscience coaching practices, because we are used to training our bodies but rarely our brains. And where it serves you, I bring in breathwork, one of the most powerful tools I know for nervous system regulation and emotional processing.

This work is for you if

  • You are going through injury and finding the mental side harder than expected

  • You feel like you've lost yourself, not just your movement

  • You are tired of numbing, distracting, and just getting through it

  • You are ready to do the inner work that physio can't do

BREATHWORK

You already have everything you need. Let's learn how to access it.

My breathwork journey started about eight years ago when I attended my first Conscious Connected Breathing session. I was simply curious. I had no idea it would become one of the most important practices of my life.A few years later I discovered rhythmic breathwork. What started as an experiment became a daily practice that helped me find greater awareness, presence, and a deeper connection with myself. The more I practised, the more I wanted to understand the power of breath — not just through personal experience, but by learning how to safely guide others through it.That led me to train as a certified breathwork facilitator.
Since then I've had the privilege of guiding people online and teaching breathwork in Kampala, Uganda, where I lived. Every person who shows up, breathes with me, and leaves feeling lighter, clearer, or more connected, that's why I do this.

So what actually is breathwork?

Breathwork is the intentional use of breathing techniques to influence your physical, mental, and emotional state. Unlike meditation, which often asks you to observe your thoughts, breathwork works directly through the body. The way you breathe affects your nervous system, your brain, and your emotional experience, often reaching places that talking alone cannot.It is not therapy. It is not a quick fix or a magic cure. It is an invitation to stop thinking and start listening to what your body has been trying to tell you all along.

Rhythmical Breathwork

Rhythmical breathwork uses slow, steady, patterned breathing to gently guide your nervous system out of stress and into calm. When you slow your breath down deliberately, you activate the parasympathetic nervous system, your body's rest and repair mode. This reduces cortisol, lowers heart rate, and signals to your brain that you are safe. It also stimulates the vagus nerve, which plays a central role in emotional regulation and overall wellbeing.At a brainwave level, rhythmical breathing shifts you from Beta, your normal thinking state, into Alpha and Theta waves, the same states associated with deep relaxation and meditation. The mind quiets, clarity emerges, and the body begins to release what it has been holding.Nourishing, accessible, and sustainable. This is often where we begin.You might notice more clarity, more ease, a sense of things settling inside you. It doesn't overwhelm. It doesn't demand. It simply creates space. This is often where we begin.

Conscious Connected Breathwork

Conscious Connected Breathwork is a continuous breathing pattern with no pause between the inhale and exhale. When you breathe this way, your body starts to speak in ways the mind cannot reach.The continuous breathing shifts blood chemistry, which triggers physical sensations, emotional activation, and altered states of awareness. Brainwaves move into deep Theta and Delta states, similar to deep meditation, and the body releases oxytocin, contributing to the warmth and openness people often feel during a session.In practice, this means emotions stored in the body begin to surface and move. Not because you forced them, because the breath created enough safety for them to finally do so.It is not therapy. It is not a performance. Some sessions are deeply emotional, some peaceful, some subtle. What it consistently offers is a way back to yourself, to the part that already knows how to heal, when it finally feels safe enough to do so.
