I am a survivor of civil war in the former Yugoslavia, have endured the trauma of being held captive, suffering torture and abuse.  But I’m one of the lucky ones having eventually escaped to the United Kingdom.
From not speaking a word of English, I went to college, supported myself through various jobs from working all hours in a dry-cleaning business, through to manning an internet café.  I saved to invest in myself, and qualified as personal trainer and nutritionist.
In tandem I began to work with charities and got involved with voluntary work to campaign against human trafficking and exploitation of women.  This led to joining the public speaking circuit, where I use my story of ‘survival to success’ to give others hope.
Additionally I qualified as a public speaking and presentation skills coach working on a global level with start-ups, through to multi-national firms across media, financial services and technology, including WPP, Dentsu, Verizon Media, Yahoo, The Telegraph, Goldman Sachs, Engie, Bloomberg, Clear View, Amobee, Google to name a few.
My latest initiative is focused on lifestyle planning and wellbeing, to optimize work performance, avoid burnout and ensure mental health is kept in check.  I provide bespoke plans based on individual needs around lifestyle goals, and work objectives including:

Exercise and activity (this doesn’t have to be about completing a marathon!)
Diet plans and nutrition, from low fat alternatives through to brainfood and supplements
Sleep, rest and downtime
The role of technology to optimize peak performance, and tracking recovery
Breathing techniques and meditation
Lifestyle planning and time management techniques

As a founder of a  fitness business and ultimately moving into the coaching circuit, I’ve successfully run my own personal training business from 2005 to 2013, focusing on delivering 5 star training, injury rehabilitation, nutritional advice and personal programs, I was lucky enough to be exposed to A-list clients from athletes and actors through to the top business people from around the world. I played a vital part in helping them achieve their dreams and helped them make gains in both their physical and mental conditioning.

I moved to Singapore in April 2014 to 2018 and I recognized the huge potential in Asia for taking a tried, tested and successful training program to market and tailoring specifically to local/regional companies and their workforce.

London has always  been home for me and it is an amazing feeling to be back.

I am finally working on my  book  and will be available on the book stores soon. I enjoy traveling all over the world speaking to audiences, both large and small about making their dreams come true and coming up and over trials and tribulations.  As well, I am uniting with women’s organizations to empower women all over the globe by bringing both practical solutions as well as inspiration.
