The details are simple enough.
The story behind them – that’s where the road begins…

…my journey 

I am a discoverer. I am a creator.
By discovering, I create – and by creating, I discover.

I started as everyone else: I was born.
In my case, in a small town in Hungary, more than forty years ago.

Later, I went to school and learned about numbers, about languages, about the world around me.
Then I went to work, where I put those learnings into practice.
I led teams, managed people, and measured success through results. I learned how to communicate, how to deliver, and how to lead.

And still – something felt missing.
All the achievements, the recognition, the motion… slowly began to feel hollow. There was a quiet emptiness underneath the structure of my days.

That’s when my attention turned inward.
In school and work, I learned about the outer world – but no one had ever taught me how to navigate the inner one.
I knew how to listen to others, but not yet how to listen to myself.

Yoga became my first doorway inward – a physical practice that gently turned into a practice of awareness. Therapy followed. Energy work. Astrology. Each opened another layer of understanding about how we move, feel, resist, and grow.

Those experiences led me to coaching. I became a certified coach, because I wanted to offer others what I had been searching for: a space to explore without judgment, to see clearly, to act with intention.

Today, my work is where the outer and inner worlds meet. It’s where practical coaching tools meet intuitive insight; where real change becomes possible, one conscious step at a time – on the road within.

I continue to walk this path myself: changing careers, changing countries, starting again. It’s not about arriving; it’s about learning to walk with awareness.

That’s what I share through my work – not answers, but space to discover your own.

If any part of my story resonates with yours, perhaps our paths are meant to cross.

Change doesn’t happen all at once.
It happens with one conscious step at a time
– on the road within.
