The best time to start looking after our wellbeing was a long time ago, the next best time is actually NOW because … it is never too late to feel great in order to wholeheartedly & effectively follow our dreams and ambitions.

WE ALL HAVE A STORY BEHIND WHO WE ARE TODAY

Here I share with you just a snapshot of my journey to help you gauge what has inspired and influenced me to do the work I do today.

Ever since my childhood I’ve been an ambitious, inquisitive person and enjoyed challenging the status quo. Originally from Poland, after my graduation I moved to London and spent the next 17 years there. I was hungry for ‘success’ and determined to achieve it. Continuing the education in London enabled me to secure great jobs: first at the European HQs of GE (General Electric), then at American Express where I worked for nearly 10 years. My life became very busy because of demanding job and weekly international travel. Still, it all felt very much like a ‘success’ at the time … Years of hectic lifestyle, lack of attention to what my body was trying to communicate to me, insufficient knowledge on how to effectively support my own wellbeing caused my health to suffer. At the time my ‘healthcare’ was limited to doing tests recommended by doctors so they could label ‘what’ was wrong and decide ‘what’ to prescribe to eliminate the symptoms. It was all very much disease and medicine oriented approach that omitted the most important question: ‘why’.

I have gone through periods where sport was my obsession. On most days, by the time I arrived at my desk, I had already covered 20k cycling and running in Hyde Park or around the cities I was working from at the time. I took part in some extreme running events i.e.: in the Sahara desert and I was a devoted participant of the British Military Fitness. This approach to exercise was very effective at reducing stress, forgetting problems and elevating my mood but years later I learnt how damaging it was for my adrenal glands.

Eventually sensing that perhaps there was ‘another way’ I started working with a Life Coach. I slowed down, become more mindful and turned to more gentle forms of physical activities. I started to nourish rather than punish my body. Self care became my new found passion, one that I rally started to infest my resources into.

Few years and a lot of education later I understood that I wanted to work in the field of Functional Medicine. Once I gathered the courage to make the leap I left my beloved London and re-located to the sunny south of Europe. Just before my relocation I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and weeks later I went through an emergency operation to stop an acute internal bleeding. This traumatic experience seriously impacted my health and wellbeing. Equipped in the relevant knowledge I managed to recover well but just as I did, in the autumn of 2018, another traumatic incident occurred. I can honestly say that pain, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, mood swings … are no strange to me. At the same time all that I have gone through motivated me to study and learn even more intensely. I now have not only the knowledge but also a lot of empathy towards those facing any kind of health issues. My respect for the human body and its self healing capabilities , given the right approach to healing, is huge.

Due to my extensive experience of working in the corporate environment I have the invaluable insight into the employee’s needs that are to do with overall wellbeing.

As a Naturopath & Health Stylist

I believe in and practice based on these fundamental truths:

• the body wants to be healthy

• the body is a whole, and all of its parts are connected

• there is no separation of mind and body

• genetics loads the gun but the environment pulls the trigger

• treatment and healing do not mean the same thing, healing is a natural power

• the immune system is king

• addressing the root cause is more important than labeling the disease or treating the symptom

• how we feel determines how well we do in life

• wellbeing drives success

I also believe in the following key pillars of good health and wellbeing:

1. Diet that is right & healthy for us individually, because we all are biochemically different

2. Sufficient amount of physical movement & the right kind of exercise

3. Adherence to the laws of circadian rhythm including the right amount of quality sleep, exposure to natural light, enough rest & relaxation

4. Effective stress management

5. Limiting exposure to environmental toxins (including those in water, food & cosmetics but also the artificial light)

6. Healthy relationships

7. Correct breathing technique

8. Adequate hydration

9. Supplementation

10. Having a sense of purpose in life.

In the process of my educations I learnt from the word's leading experts in health and wellness:

• International Academy of Complimentary Medicine - leading institution for educating natural medicine professionals

• dr Mark Hyman - Medical Director of the UltraWellness Centre

• dr Frank Lipman - Pioneer In Functional And Integrative Medicine

• dr Vincent Pedre - Expert in Integrative & Functional Medicine

• dr Taz Bhatia - Recognised Wellness, Prevention & Integrative Health Expert

• dr Amy Shah - The Go-To Women's Resource For Hormone Balance

• Mark Sisson - Founder of Primal Health Coach Institute

• The Institute for Optimum Nutrition - one of the most respected training bodies and health information resources of its kind in the UK

I offer individual sessions, deliver workshops, talks and presentations with a goal to help my clients achieve optimum health and wellbeing.

Wellbeing drives, promotes and accelerates success and this is why it is regarded as the most valuable asset we can have. It is claimed that income seldom exceeds wellbeing and therefore prioritising wellbeing increases our income potential.

When we take a really good care of our wellbeing we end up feeling more empowered and more inspired which gives us a sense of having an advantage. We feel happier, more confident and consistent, we are able to regulate or emotions better and this leads us to success.

Our optimum wellbeing also allows us to hear the voice of our intuition better, Steve Jobs spoke of intuition as the best guide we have towards achieving our goals.

HEALTH & WELLNESS for individual clients

My approach is very holistically focused as well as highly personalised for each individual client. Following a thorough assessment of current state of wellbeing a client can choose between 2 different offers:

1. Bite-sized wellbeing transformation session - this is best suited for those who are looking for an expert help in determining which components of their lifestyle need to be addressed, in order to improve or maintain the quality of their health and wellbeing, but at the same time are happy to work on their own once they have the relevant knowledge and tools. It is also recommended for those that although are determined to ensure optimum health & wellbeing are not currently in a position to make a more substantial investment.

2. Comprehensive and highly personalised coaching program - I developed this program consisting of series of 1:1 sessions to ensure the client receives best in class personalised advice and tools as well as ongoing motivation and support. This is to ensure the client feels empowered to effectively achieve health and wellbeing goals defined at the beginning of the program. The 4 weeks duration of this program not only ensures tangible results but also enables the client to develop lasting new habits.

The foundation of my work are the elements that I define as the key health and wellbeing pillars:

• Diet that is right and healthy so it can truly strengthen the body and its immune system.

• Physical movement and the right kind of exercise.

• Circadian rytm: good quality sleep, exposure to daylight, timing of meals, rest and relaxation.

• Healthy food shopping and healthy personalised recipes.

• Effective stress management techniques.

• Reduction of toxic exposure ie. toxins in: drinking water, food, cosmetics, household cleaning products as well as limiting the damage coming from the blue light.

• Good quality relationships .

• Correct breathing technique.

• Adequate hydration.

• Personalised supplementation.

• Purpose and self realisation in personal and professional life.

Only by feeling really well and by enjoying a high level of energy we are able to realise our full potential. My original and holistic approach to health coaching allows my clients to reach their health and wellbeing potential. There is no better investment than investment in oneself.

To ensure maximum comfort for the client individual sessions are mostly conducted via Skype / Zoom.

CORPORATE WELLNESS

I offer comprehensive workshops carefully crafted to meet the needs of the specific company and its employees. In these workshops I share practical knowledge, inspiration as well as tools that empower employees to effectively manage and improve their wellbeing and health.

Due to my extensive experience, of working in a corporate environment, I have thorough understanding of opportunities as well as barriers that exist for employees to do with taking care of wellbeing and health. I ensure that my workshops have a holistic approach so the participants are enabled to start taking a true ownership of their health and wellbeing.

Some of the key benefits that a company commissioning the workshop may expect include:

• increased effectiveness and efficiency of employees

• increased job satisfaction, higher employee retention and therefore an improved company image and attractiveness in the job market

• decreased number of sick days taken by employees and less costs associated with medical insurances

• improved business relationships with company clients due to improved psychophysiological wellbeing of employees

• … as a consequence better financial results

Workshops typically take around 3 to 4 hours to deliver and their exact program is heavily tailored towards specific customer needs.

Although I am happy to travel anywhere within Europe to deliver my workshops, currently due to social distancing rules, they are delivered as online webinars on the Zoom platform.
