Here's my story
When I first started my business, it wasn’t just a leap – it was a total rebuild.
I’d just moved countries, was navigating a new culture, and decided to open my own creative school – in a language I was still learning. It was bold, exciting… and incredibly hard.
In the early days, I wore all the hats. Marketing, teaching, admin, customer service – all while battling self-doubt, burnout, and the pressure to “prove” myself in a brand-new environment.
There were moments I questioned everything. The students weren’t coming. The money felt tight. I wondered if I’d made a mistake going all in, leaving the safe, structured world of my previous career. But I never truly considered going back to it, ever.
Instead, I kept showing up. I kept learning, experimenting, listening, refining – and most importantly, I kept holding the vision.
Over time, things started to shift. The school grew. Word of mouth spread. I built a community, a brand, and a business that reflected my values and voice.
That experience taught me everything I now teach: how to build something from nothing, how to lead with both heart and strategy, and how to hold onto yourself – especially when things get hard.
That’s why I do what I do today. Because I know what it’s like to start over. To chase a dream without a blueprint. And to turn something uncertain into something extraordinary.
How I got here
It didn’t take off overnight.
I wore all the hats - teacher, marketer, admin, cleaner - and there were plenty of moments when I wondered if I’d made a huge mistake.
But what made the difference wasn’t luck or timing, it was how I showed up.
I listened, I learned, I simplified, I experimented. I put care and connection at the center of everything I built, and I stayed open to growth, always.
Since 2014, I’ve invested over $50K in my development as a coach, entrepreneur, and creative leader - joining programs, courses, and communities that stretched me, shaped me, and helped me find my own way of doing things. If something called to me, I followed the spark. That path wasn’t always linear, but it gave me everything I now use to support others - not just what works in theory, but what holds up in real life.
Eventually, the students came. The business grew. And I turned a shaky beginning into something solid - values-led, sustainable, and deeply aligned with who I am.
That chapter became the foundation of everything I teach now: how to build a business that feels like home, and how to lead with both heart and strategy.
I'm on a mission...
My mission is to make sure no one has to navigate the entrepreneurial journey alone. I’m here to walk alongside creatives and changemakers as they leap into the unknown, build with intention, and write a version of success that’s fully their own.
You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself – we do it together.
Behind the Scenes
OK, now for the real-life stuff.
The bio version of me tells one part of the story — but behind the scenes, I’m always evolving. I believe our personal life is part of our business story. It shapes how we show up, what we care about, and how we serve.
So here’s a peek at the heart behind the work.
- Building our dream life in southern Spain. I live in Granada, Spain, with my husband, and we travel through pet-sitting while manifesting our dream home. I’ve lived in Hungary, the US, and now Spain, and rebuilt my life and business in a new language more than once. I speak five languages, have visited 30+ countries, and some of my best business lessons came from street markets and kitchen-table conversations.
- Crafting, cooking & following sparks,
Creativity fuels everything I do. I love knitting, crocheting, and cooking, and my husband and I always travel with our own teas - he’s a tea expert and total addict. I love spending time with my family, who live in Hungary and Austria. While I enjoy connecting with people, I also cherish quiet days with no conversation. Being with yourself isn’t always easy, but I’ve learned to enjoy my own company too.
- Listening to my body, living differently. This past year, I’ve been on a thyroid healing journey that led to a complete lifestyle reset. I’ve never felt more at home in my body. Slower mornings, stronger boundaries, and deep nourishment changed everything. I’m learning to build success with my body, not against it - because business isn’t just strategy, it’s nervous system, self-trust, and staying well on the way.
All of these pieces shape how I show up in my work — not just as a coach or creative, but as a whole human. I believe the life behind the business matters just as much as the business itself. That’s why I build slow, lead with heart, and make space for both the big dreams and the quiet days. Thanks for being here. I’m so glad our paths crossed.
