My work and collaboration philosophy can be resumed in the following sentences:
- Every human being is special and complex and needs a tailored, solution-oriented approach.
- The only way out of a crisis or challenge is within.
- Real impact is measured by depth of inner work and transformation, not by numbers and embellished marketing strategies.
- Inner nature is better expressed when is recognized and connects with the outer nature.
- Trauma healing is the ultimate evolution stage of human kind.
- In any collaboration, there should be a fair and honest balance between giving and receiving.
