About Me

My journey to becoming a personal trainer started a long time ago...

I was 14 years old when I first decided to get into better shape. I wish I could have hired a coach back then, but unfortunately, I chose to do it myself. I relied on nutrition and fitness advice from women's magazines. My nutrition was very poor and my workouts consisted mainly of cardio. Result - I lost 15kg in less than 6 months and my period stopped. I thought I had everything under control. Everyone was complimenting my weight loss instead of calling me "a bit chubby". After a short period, I have been prescribed antidepressants. However, I didn't just go back to my previous eating habits. The pills triggered a monster who couldn't stop thinking about food. It's then that I entered a long fight with bulimia against my own body and mental health. It was an escape from not being able to cope with other difficult situations. Long story short, since then I had been having periods of binge eating and dieting. An endless yo-yo of weight loss and weight gain until at some point I realized that all of It didn't matter. What mattered was that I had to help my body to survive. 
The story continued on and off for almost a decade. Some periods were better and some worse, but the problematic relationship with my own body never was persistent. It caused problems in all the fields of my life: education, relationships, career, self-expression. Even though my life could be seen as normal or even good, deep inside I felt insecure and unsatisfied with myself, moody and depressed. 
During my college years I started following a YouTube fitness influencer and was inspired by her strength. So my picture of a woman's body shifted from skinny to strong. It helped a bit to switch my focus from starving myself and losing weight to sculpting the shape of my body and eating more quality food to sustain a workout routine. First I was amazed, by the results. I was trying group classes like body pump and step, lifting weights, fasted cardio, HIIT workouts.  However, since I knew little about how the body reacts to the training It was difficult to maintain the result for a long time.
My first experience with a personal trainer was positive overall. It introduced me to bodybuilding and I found new exercises I have never tried before. It's when I started to like my body shape. When I met my second coach who introduced me to a completely new methodology of training and taught me to focus on performance and strength either on the body shape it blew my mind. I stopped binging. I mean, I arrived at the point where I couldn't allow myself to hurt my body because I needed it to do the hard work in the gym, to function properly during the day, and support other people. My passion and desire to heal pushed me to seek knowledge. I ended up with several fitness certifications and now I hope to help other people get out of the vicious circle and safely achieve their results. Now I feel stronger than ever and my mind is not obsessed with food or what people will think about my cellulite or a little fat on the back of my legs. I feel beautiful and strong and I embrace it in my clients.
