I’m a women’s counsellor and coach who helps sensitive, warm-hearted and empathetic women in their 40s and 50s to build their emotional strength, self-confidence and authenticity so that they can fall back in love with themselves and create life and relationships they love and feel proud of.
All you ever wanted from life
starts with self-love.
Hard to believe?
I vividly remember being a child on a cold and snowy day, standing in a long queue on a street in my hometown. People lined up all the way down the street – my mother, grandmother, and neighbours all anxiously waiting their turn to go into the shop.
The anxiety of the crowd building as the longer we waited the less there would be buy. We had basic food to eat but things that today we take for granted, such as toilet paper, meat, and chocolate were scarce.
I didn’t want to stand in this cold street full of adults, I wanted to play with my doll in the warmth of my home, but my needs and wants had to be pushed away because being in this queue was more important. It felt as though there was always something more important than me.

I grew up in Poland. My grandparents were World War II survivors and my parents survived the communist occupation after the war.
When I was small, life was governed by one word only – SURVIVAL.
We didn’t talk about emotions. So, words like ‘self-care’ or ‘self-love’ were alien to us. I didn’t even know words like that existed when I was a child.
When I grew up I made my own life about survival, too. Because all I knew was survival and scarcity. But I felt deep inside there was more…
For years I suffered with severe anxiety and I created (totally unintentionally) plenty of emotional drama, health drama, relationship drama, financial drama … all kinds of drama you can think of.
This cycle of drama and trauma continued for a long time until I was completely burnt out and physically sick.
I was desperate. I knew I couldn’t go on like that much longer. Managing all the intense emotions that were ruining my life and my relationships was beyond me.
I had to do something. It was a matter of life or death. Literally.
Yet, I had no idea where to start. I knew no other ways. I had no role models on how to live life differently.
But I was determined. I believed there must be a better way. And so, I started to look for it.
And, although I didn’t know that at the time, it was a journey back home, to myself.
I spent years in the classrooms and lecture halls. I attended courses, workshops and trainings. I worked hard with the amazing therapists and coaches I met on my way. But yet something was still missing…
Then, one day during a session with my breathwork coach as I was laying on my mat doing connected breathing exercises, she reached down, gently placed her hand on my shoulder and whispered in my ear…
“You are the most important person in your life.”
That sentence was surprisingly simple, yet powerful beyond what I could have ever imagined.
I AM the most important person in my life!
I am no longer that little girl on a cold snowy day whose own needs fall second to everything else. I deserve to be happy and taken care of. And I am the only person who can do that for me. I am the most important person in my life.
To do this I needed SELF-LOVE. To learn how to accept, appreciate and love myself. To put myself first.
And the moment I fell back in love with who I truly was, with all my perfect imperfections, all other things started to fall back in place without much effort on my part: my physical health, my energy levels, my relationships, my career, my sense of purpose and meaning and my zest for life.
Self-love changes everything. The way I relate to myself, the way I interact with people I love (and those I’m not so fond of) and the way I live my life.
It is the most beautiful and rewarding journey a person can take.
Because all you have ever wanted from life starts with self-love. Always.
I promise, the change is easier than you think. Let’s talk and I will help you plan your first steps out of struggling and into thriving.

The results I want you to see when you work with me:
No more emotional overwhelm! You stay in charge of your emotions, even the most challenging ones.
No more playing small! You feel confident, empowered and resilient! Even in the middle of a crisis or a rough patch.
No more putting yourself last! You know how to set boundaries (without feeling guilty) so that you can take gentle and loving care of yourself first.
No more being your own worst critic! You are back in love with your BODY, MIND, HEART AND SPIRIT!
and… the future feels wide open!
Personally…
I come from Poland but have been living in Ireland since 2012. I feel very grateful to Ireland for being so welcoming and letting me create a new life here. It’s a such a beautiful country! Amazing Nature and wonderful people and I do feel at home here. And… I still struggle a bit with accepting the fact that my family is scattered between the two countries.
And there are things which I will always miss about Poland! Like… the abundance of fruit and veg on framers markets in summer and the squeaky sound of fresh snow under my shoes in winter.
I am a mum of two beautiful adults, one amazing teenager and the fury creature you can see in the photo! My eldest son lives here in Ireland, my middle daughter lives in Poland and my youngest girl is still with us in the nest. I try to savour every bit of these last few years when she’s so close.
I love spending time in nature, hiking in the woods and strolling along the beaches. I’m deeply in love with Wicklow Mountains and have a secret hope to move somewhere when time is right. I could live there with a few dogs, a few cats and preferably some chickens. Grow my own vegetables. Pick mushroom in the forest. Turns out I’m a country girl at heart!
I spent most of my life believing something was wrong with me and trying to be a very ‘good girl’ to make up for it.
It took me years to break free from all the ways I judged, diminished, neglected and sabotaged myself and learn how to bring more compassion, self-love and self-care into my life. To start not only listen to what my body, heart and spirit long for, but also to act on it!
Today, I am privileged to support other women on the same journey, so that they can make this life-changing, radical shift in a fraction of the time it took me to make
