my personal journey
From Corporate World to Functional Medicine Practitioner IFMCP
In 2014, I was burned out emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
My daughter was only four years old and frequently ill.
Antibiotics have become part of our routine, and I felt hopeless.
I tried to manage a corporate job, a household, and two small children, but I reached a point where I thought:
“Something has to change, and it did.”

Over night success? A Journey of Science, Spirituality, and Self-Discovery
I stepped away from the corporate world, where I found myself surrounded by people who looked successful from the outside but were silently struggling.
Their lives made me pause.
That stress-filled, disconnected version of success wasn’t what I wanted.
Then came one pivotal moment.
Over lunch, a colleague asked me: “What would you do if you didn’t have to worry about money?”
Without thinking, I said:
“I’d teach nutrition. How it can change your life.”
That same night, I started researching nutrition courses.
I found BCNH, The College of Nutrition & Health in London.
A Fresh Start With No Background in Science
I had studied languages and literature.
Science wasn’t part of my world for more than 20 years.
But I was determined to do whatever it takes to change my career and start from scratch.
I spent a year studying biology, chemistry, anatomy, and physiology to pass my A-levels. I applied to BCNH and was accepted.
At the same time, I had no job and no income.
I was raising two children. I adopted two rescue dogs from Slovakia, and studying was taking more time than I expected.
So, I trained as a yoga teacher and started teaching fitness classes, yoga, HIIT, and body toning to support us. I cycled 40 minutes to the studios, earning €14 per class.
I was strong… but deeply tired.
Still, I kept going because I could see the life I wanted taking shape.
From Passion to Profession
After graduating, I started working with my yoga students as my first nutrition clients.
I offered detailed plans, spent hours preparing, and charged very little, but the results were real and the testimonials fantastic.
And something inside me said, “Keep going, you are going to be the best nutritionist in Switzerland with a long waiting list.”
Today, I am proud because I built my business myself. No funding, agency, or shortcuts.
I taught myself websites, ads, funnels, branding, and sales.
I worked at night. I studied at weekends and used every cent I earned to keep learning.
I invested in:
- The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFMCP certification)
- Hormone Yoga Therapy
Advanced diagnostics and psychosomatic tools
My Work is the Blend of Everything I’ve Lived and Learned
- I run a Swiss GmbH, and my business is VAT-registered
- I serve women worldwide in five languages
- I have a waiting list for my 360° Concierge Functional Medicine Package
- I deliver corporate wellbeing workshops, supporting professionals who are stuck in the same cycle I once was in
Most importantly, I’ve been able to merge science with spirituality.
I listen to what lab results say but I also listen to what your body, emotions, and life story are trying to tell me.
SAY GOODBYE TO DISEASE, IT'S TIME TO SHINE!
If You’re Struggling,
You’re in the Right Place
I know what it’s like to feel exhausted, bloated, emotionally flat, and unsure of who to turn to.
I’ve supported a sick child. I’ve fought for my own health.
And I’ve built a business on the belief that you deserve to feel good — and be seen in the process.
Here, there’s no quick fix.
But there is a deep, personalised approach that considers all of you — body, mind, emotions, and environment.
This is Functional Medicine.
This is your turning point.
And I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
