ABOUT
ME

What I Offer

I take a holistic but proven and science-backed approach, integrating the Mayo Clinic 5E Model, Transtheoretical Stages of Change, Motivational Interviewing, and SMART goals to create a powerful coaching experience. Tailored to your specific goals, I support adopting healthier habits, overcoming obstacles, and achieving peak performance. 

My focus areas

  • Weight loss and obesity management

  • Metabolic health and chronic disease prevention (pre-diabetes, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and triglycerides to name a few) 

  • Nutrition counseling and lifestyle optimization

  • Behavior modification for long-term well-being

  • Stress management and resilience building

  • Enhancing sleep quality and overall vitality

 

With 20+ years of experiences living and working across three continents, I bring a global perspective on how culture, food, and lifestyle shape health. Fluent in English and Serbian, as well as speaking Italian, I’ve coached clients worldwide, tailoring strategies to diverse needs. My background spans from clinical to community settings, supporting first responders, medical professionals, and individuals in building resilience, managing stress, and improving well-being. I’ve also led public health initiatives in childhood obesity prevention and physical activity research, deepening my understanding of the challenges in achieving a healthy lifestyle.

My Approach

I believe true health transformation comes from feeling heard, supported, and empowered. My coaching focuses on building sustainable habits—not quick fixes—aligned with your values and lifestyle. Using motivational interviewing and positive psychology, I can help you tap into your strengths and create a clear path toward lasting change. My goal is to guide and equip you with the tools to make wellness fit your life, not the other way around.

I offer coaching, consulting, and support for your personal and professional development.

My Philosophy

With the right approach, transformation is within your reach. Your wellness journey is yours to shape, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. If you’re ready to take control and create lasting change, let’s make it happen together!
