Hello,
With 20 years of experience across management, construction, engineering, finance, and asset management, I've discovered one essential truth: lasting success flows from the well-being of the people behind it. I've seen it on projects of every size, from $1,000 to $10 million, and it's why I help leaders and teams transform complexity into clarity through my Mindset Management strategy.
We all have a story to tell, and mine is as unique as my name. Here it is in a nutshell: born in Yugoslavia, raised on a farm, a refugee to Germany at seven, and a Canadian immigrant at ten. I’ve built houses, competed nationally in volleyball and weightlifting, studied banking, business, civil engineering, and human behaviour, and navigated the challenges of single motherhood and entrepreneurship. I stumbled, fumbled, laughed, and cried until I found what matters most to me; sustainable wellness in both my personal and professional life. That’s when I sold most of my belongings, moved for the 27th time, and discovered my own version of a time machine: a simpler, more purposeful way of living. I hope to have the privilege of meeting you one day and hearing your story.
In my work, I focus on enhancing well-being, leading with intention, designing restorative retreats, and helping individuals and teams thrive. When I’m not working, you’ll find me canoeing, hiking, travelling, foraging, or making jam and jelly; because life is richer when we explore and savour it together.
I look forward to connecting and co-creating meaningful success with you.
