Author, Motivational Speaker, Wellbeing & Lifestyle Plans, Public Speaking &
Presenting Coach
I am a survivor of civil war in the former Yugoslavia, have endured the trauma of being held captive, suffering torture and abuse. But I’m one of the lucky ones having eventually escaped to the United Kingdom.
From not speaking a word of English, I went to college, supported myself through various jobs from working all hours in a dry-cleaning business, through to manning an internet café. I saved to invest in myself, and qualified as personal trainer and nutritionist.
In tandem I began to work with charities and got involved with voluntary work to campaign against human trafficking and exploitation of women. This led to joining the public speaking circuit, where I use my story of ‘survival to success’ to give others hope.
Additionally I qualified as a public speaking and presentation skills coach working on a global level with start-ups, through to multi-national firms across media, financial services and technology, including WPP, Dentsu, Verizon Media, Yahoo, The Telegraph, Goldman Sachs, Engie, Bloomberg, Clear View, Amobee, Google to name a few.
My latest initiative is focused on lifestyle planning and wellbeing, to optimise work performance, avoid burnout and ensure mental health is kept in check. I provide bespoke plans based on individual needs around lifestyle goals, and work objectives including:
-
Exercise and activity (this doesn’t have to be about completing a marathon!)
-
Diet plans and nutrition, from low fat alternatives through to brainfood and supplements
-
Sleep, rest and downtime
-
The role of technology to optimise peak performance, and tracking recovery
-
Breathing techniques and meditation
-
Lifestyle planning and time management techniques

How I can help you?
Motivational
Speaking
My motivational speaking is focused on great energy, a ‘glass half full’ lens on life, and turning the darkest moments into a positive outcome. I like to give a brutally honest account of the years that were taken from me, how I remained strong and tackled what seemed like hopeless situations, ultimately becoming the person you see smiling in front of you here.
Public Speaking
Coaching
A unique framework to enable people to be confident and compelling presenters, going deep into body language, breathing, tonality, and storey telling. I have a track record of turning the most anxious and nervous individuals into the finished article, and tooling up even the most accomplished speakers to command ever better stage presence.
Wellbeing and
Lifestyle Plans
There is now huge amounts of data to support the benefits of exercise, breathing / meditation, sleep and nutrition to combat stress and anxiety.
I draw upon my vast experience and qualifications as a fitness trainer, nutritionist and wellbeing coach to provide bespoke lifestyle plans that lead to peak performance and achieving your personal best.
