About me

Life has been kind to me. Like most of us, I have faced challenges, but I am deeply grateful for every experience that has shaped me into the person I am today. I was born in Romania in 1980 and have lived in Vienna, Austria, since 2014. My journey began in law, followed by a career in automotive sales, but life had other plans for me.

In 2014, I left everything behind—career, family, friends, my home—to move to Vienna for love. The first three years were difficult. I didn’t know the language, I was in a completely different culture, and I had almost no friends. But slowly, I rebuilt my life, embraced change, and discovered a deeper purpose.

Looking back, I see how much of our lives are shaped by societal expectations: get the best job, make money, get married, you’re too fat, you’re to skinny… These pressures can weigh us down, making us feel disconnected from our true selves. But life is not meant to be lived on autopilot. Every challenge is an opportunity to evolve, to rediscover our inner power, and to create a life of true fulfillment.

Through a series of life events, I found my way to healing—not just for the body, but for the soul. I realized that true well-being is about balance in all areas of life: mind, body, soul, and spirit. This understanding led me to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York, where I became a certified Health Coach.

As a Health Coach, I focus first and foremost on primary food—the elements that nourish us beyond the plate, such as relationships, career, movement, and emotional well-being. Only then do we address secondary food—the nutrition we consume. Studies show that 70% of our health is influenced by lifestyle, while only 30% is determined by genetics. And even that 30% can be improved through conscious choices and healing practices.

My own transformation brought me one of my greatest blessings: at the age of 42, I naturally conceived my daughter. This experience reaffirmed my belief in the power of holistic well-being, self-care, and trust in life’s divine flow.

The first card in the Tarot Major Arcana represents The Dreamer—the one who takes a leap of faith into a new life, guided by divine support, seeing the world with curiosity, joy, and an open heart.
