Life happens.
No fixing required.
I didn’t plan this life.
If you had met me thirty years ago, you would have found a curious child collecting colourful stones by a river and telling stories about the people who picked them.
A few years later, I asked for Tarot cards for my tenth birthday.
By the age of thirteen, adults were already coming to my childhood room in my parents’ apartment. They talked about relationships, money, illness, fear, business and life. Sometimes they cried. Sometimes they laughed. Sometimes they simply sat in silence, looking at the cards on the table.
Looking back, it resembled coaching much more than fortune telling.
I just didn’t know coaching existed yet.
I never stopped working with symbols.
Years later, during systemic coaching training, we began using objects, figures and stones.
I remember smiling.
“I’ve done this before.”
The language had changed.
The principles hadn’t.
For me, symbols have never been magical.
They simply help us notice what is already present.
I never stopped working with people.
Life later took me into a very different world.
Communities.
NGOs.
Leadership.
Businesses.
Since 2014, I have worked internationally with organisations, leaders, public institutions and companies, facilitating learning, organisational development and change.
For six years I was also a partner in a consulting company in Bratislava.
People often ask how consulting, leadership, Tarot and phenomenology fit together.
To me, they never felt separate.
Whether I work with an individual, a leadership team or an organisation, I keep meeting the same question:
What is life trying to bring into movement here?
Then life surprised me.
In 2018, I attended my first Life Integration Process seminar with Nana Krüger, based on the work of Wilfried Nelles.
I had no expectations.
But somewhere during those days I remember thinking:
“One day, I will do this too.”
Years later, I realised it wasn’t really my decision.
Life had already started moving in that direction.
LIP gave language to something I had intuitively trusted for years.
That life does not need fixing.
That adulthood is not self-improvement.
That many of our struggles are not signs that something is wrong.
Sometimes they are simply asking us to grow into the next stage of life.
Then life surprised me again.
I never planned to leave Slovakia.
I had a business.
Clients.
Friends.
A comfortable life.
And yet, something kept calling me elsewhere.
Eventually I stopped asking whether it made sense.
I simply followed.
Today I live in Ljubljana.
Looking back, I don’t see it as a career decision, but as life moving.
Perhaps that is why I feel so at home in phenomenological work.
Now I don’t anymore ask the question:
“What should I do with my life?”
Now I am interested in:
Where is my life already moving?
Today
Today I work with individuals, teams and organisations.
Sometimes through coaching.
Sometimes through Tarot.
Sometimes through Phenomenological Constellations.
Sometimes through leadership development.
The method depends on the conversation.
My work doesn’t.
I remain curious about people, organisations, relationships.
About the quiet movements that often become visible before we have words for them.
Because after all these years, I still trust one simple thing.
Life happens.
No fixing required.
