My Healing Journey: From Perfectionism to Freedom
(A Story of Coming Home to Myself)

I grew up as the “perfect child.” At five years old, sitting quietly in front of the TV, I found my little island of safety. Around me was shouting, fear, chaos, and the smell of alcohol. I learned quickly: if I can be perfect, everything will be okay. I thought that by being good, polite, helpful, and pleasing everyone, I could hold things together.
But there was something else I was always chasing: the feeling of home.
I was born in Subcarpathia (now part of Ukraine) into a Hungarian family, but I never truly felt I belonged anywhere. When I was eight, we moved to Hungary, but life didn’t settle—we moved several times, and I changed schools often, always starting over, always searching for connection. At 18, I moved to Budapest for college, then later university.
By the time I was 25, I moved again—this time to London, hoping to finally build a life that felt like mine.But I never truly felt at home—not in my house, not in my body, not in my life.
For as long as I can remember, I also struggled with my weight. I tried countless diets, fitness programs, strict meal plans—chasing the ‘perfect body’ the same way I chased the ‘perfect life.’ But no matter what I did, the weight always came back. I believed something was wrong with me. I blamed my body, I blamed my willpower, but I didn’t yet understand that I was carrying emotional weight—unprocessed traumas, pain, and deep self-rejection.
So I spent my life chasing perfection. I became a high-achiever, the one who never asked for help, the one who smiled even when I was breaking inside. I said yes to everything. I pushed my body to exhaustion. I thought this was the way to feel safe and loved.
But my body was holding all the stories I didn’t dare to face. I developed IBS, chronic anxiety, and I was trapped in an endless cycle of digestive issues, emotional suppression, and self-abandonment. I collected two economic degrees, trying to find security through achievement.
In London I climbed the corporate ladder as an Event Manager, working long hours, constantly proving myself. On the outside, I seemed successful. On the inside, I was collapsing.Then life forced me to pause. An accident at work led me to my very first Reiki session in 2016—and it changed everything. My physical pain disappeared, but what really opened was something much deeper: I realised that healing is possible, and that my body and mind are connected in ways I never understood before.This was the beginning of my healing journey. I stepped away from the world of large events and chose a steady Monday-to-Friday, 8 am to 4 pm role at the British Council, giving myself the space to focus on learning and attending courses. Later, I moved to part-time work, and in 2022, I fully embraced my path as a full-time therapist.
I explored energy healing, animal reiki, psychotherapy, NLP, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, the Silva method, past life regression,and IEMT.
But life wanted me to go even deeper. In 2023, I reached my emotional rock bottom. My business wasn’t growing. My husband faced his own breakdown after a failed project. We both lost our direction. I disconnected from social media, from the outside world, and dove deep into my own healing.I worked through childhood traumas, sexual abuse, perfectionism, body shame, IBS, and all the layers I built to protect myself. I did the inner child work and shadow work (still do). I cried. I trembled. I shook. I let go.One by one, the walls fell.I lost 30 kilograms—10 of which I released with the help of Tibetan Russian Transgenerational Trauma Release Honey massage, which completely changed my relationship with my body.
After that, weight loss became easier. I became fascinated by body therapies and the lymphatic system, so I trained in lymphatic massage to heal my own sluggish lymphatic flow. I’ve always loved herbs and natural remedies, so I went on to learn the Samun Prai herbal massage, a beautiful, ancient method that works with hot herbal compresses.
But I wasn’t just working on my body—I was reclaiming parts of myself I had lost, especially around intimacy.Because of my childhood wounds and sexual trauma, I had always struggled with intimacy, connection, and experiencing real sexual joy. I thought I was broken. I thought it was just the way I was.But learning about tantra and training in the Temple of Body Awakening changed everything. Through this sacred work, I reconnected with my own body and was finally able to feel safe in my skin, experience pleasure, and open myself to deep, joyful intimacy.And now, I can guide women through this path too. I am especially passionate about supporting those who are struggling with intimacy, body shame, sexual disconnection, or womb-related blockages. Because I’ve been there—and I know what’s possible.Along the way, cacao ceremonies became a life-changing medicine for me.I attended countless journeys, shedding layer after layer, connecting with my womb, my heart, my body, and my truth. Through these cacao journeys, I found the courage to release what no longer served me, and to meet myself with love and softness instead of pressure and perfection.That’s why womb healing and body connection are such an important part of my work now.So many women carry heaviness, shame, and blocked emotions in their womb space. When we begin to gently reconnect with the body—through cacao, massage, touch, energy work, or simply presence—true healing begins.
Through this deep journey of reconnecting with my body—learning special massages, working with herbs, womb healing, and cacao—I experienced not just emotional freedom, but also physical healing I never thought possible.For years, I lived with Hashimoto’s disease and chronic issues like IBS. These were part of my daily life, and I believed I would have to manage them forever. But as I began to peel back the layers—speaking up, setting boundaries, healing my throat chakra, and learning to express my truth—I realised that these illnesses were never just physical. For me, Hashimoto’s was my body’s way of screaming the words I had silenced for so long.And as I released these patterns, I said goodbye to the illness too.I’ve seen this with my clients as well. One woman, during a cacao journey, released years of chronic pain from her body—right there, in that moment of surrender and connection. The body holds what the soul hasn’t been able to say. When we create space to feel, to speak, to heal—the body can finally let go.I know many women are still struggling with thyroid issues—it's often connected to the throat chakra, to the fear of speaking up, to old survival patterns of staying silent to stay safe.This is part of the work I now hold space for: to help women come back to their voice, to their bodies, to their power—and to remember that healing is possible.
Through my new qualifications, new methods, and lived experience, I’ve learned one essential truth:
We cannot separate the mind, body, and spirit.
They must heal together.Today, I offer a unique combination of therapies—psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, NLP, trauma work, inner child work, shadow work, energy healing, bodywork, cacao ceremonies, intimacy guidance, womb healing, and more.
I walk with people who are ready to release the emotional weight, reconnect with their bodies, heal their wounds, and come home to themselves.
I’m not here to fix you.
I’m here to help you remember who you are.
And this is just the beginning...
2026 – A Deeper Journey into Unity, Yoga and Healing
In January 2026, I turned 40 — a significant milestone in my life and a moment of deep reflection. Entering a new decade felt like the beginning of a new chapter, an invitation to look back at how far I had come, honour everything I had experienced and embrace the person I was becoming. I realised that life is not about having everything figured out, but about continuing to grow, evolve and discover deeper layers of ourselves.
And perhaps it was no coincidence that, in this milestone year, yoga came into my life, opening another beautiful chapter in my journey of transformation.
I began to understand the deeper meaning of yoga — union, or unity — the connection between body, mind, breath and spirit. I realised that true healing is not just about understanding our thoughts and emotions, but also about reconnecting with our bodies and learning to listen to the wisdom they hold.
I was particularly drawn to Yin Yoga, a gentle yet profound practice that invites us to slow down, become still and work with the deeper connective tissues of the body, including the fascia. Through this practice, I began exploring how stress, emotional experiences and protective patterns can manifest as tension in the body. I discovered that by creating space, breathing and allowing the body to soften, we can begin to develop a deeper awareness of what we have been holding within ourselves.
My journey led me to Trauma-Informed Somatic Yin and Yang Yoga, which took this understanding even deeper. I learned the importance of slowing down, breathing consciously, feeling safe within the body and becoming aware of subtle sensations without forcing anything. The balance between Yin and Yang taught me about stillness and movement, surrender and strength, and the importance of honouring the body's natural rhythm.
I also discovered Yoga Nidra, often described as yogic sleep — a deeply restful practice that guides us into a state between wakefulness and sleep. Through this practice, I began exploring deeper layers of awareness, subconscious patterns and emotions, creating space for reflection, rest and inner transformation.
What touched me most was the growing realisation that healing is not always about doing more, searching harder or trying to fix ourselves. Sometimes it begins when we slow down, breathe, listen and simply allow ourselves to be.
Yoga brought me back to the meaning of unity — remembering that we are not separate parts needing to be fixed, but interconnected beings whose body, mind, emotions and spirit all deserve attention, compassion and care.
I now bring these powerful practices into my workshops, creating space for deeper connection, emotional release, self-awareness and healing through movement, breath and stillness.
Turning 40 reminded me that transformation has no age limit. We are always becoming, always learning and always discovering new ways to return to ourselves.
And so my journey continues, moving from understanding the mind towards a deeper connection with the body, the breath and the wholeness of who we are.
