My Journey — From Surviving to Awakening

A journey of resilience, rediscovery, and coming home to myself.

I grew up in Croatia, where I began my nursing career and lived through the realities of war. My journey later took me to Germany, where I continued working as a nurse and became a mother, and eventually to the United States.

For more than 25 years, I dedicated my professional life to caring for others. Nursing taught me the value of compassion, human connection, and the strength of the human spirit.

Outside of my professional life, I spent years caring for my husband as he faced diabetes, kidney cancer, and later lung cancer. Losing him profoundly changed my life. After so many years of caring for others, I needed to find my way back to myself.

These practices also inspired me to reconnect with my body, my fitness, and my mental clarity. I discovered how meaningful it could be to make space for myself again.

That experience inspired me to create Awakened Soul Breath. Today, I share breathwork with others who want to explore greater self-awareness, emotional well-being, and a deeper connection with their minds and bodies.

My intention is to offer a compassionate space where you can pause, breathe, and discover your own path forward.

Your past is part of your story, but it does not have to define your future.
