My Story

I truly believe that we can shape our destiny and how we experience life. Growing up in the socialist Czechoslovakia, I experienced first hand that joy and happiness are possible even if the external circumstances are not supporting it. That happiness is a choice and that it is for free.

I earned a M.S. Degree in Economics and joined a large international accounting firm in Prague. My job as an auditor not only gave me a very profound professional training and experience, but also allowed me to travel to some very distant parts of the world. My visit to Madagascar was an eye-opening experience. I saw so many happy people living in complete poverty! For the first time in my life, I started to question our modern values of accumulating assets and achievements. I felt a need to discover what was my life purpose.

My life changed forever after I started learning the art of tai chi 10 years ago. Practicing tai chi cleared my mind and opened a door of discovery and learning which never changed since then. As a tai chi instructor, I learned to work with students of all ages and backgrounds. I obtained a deep respect for the positive influence such a mind-body activity as tai chi has on people lives.

For many years, I was a workaholic. I used to work 60 hours per week, at the peak audit season even 80 hours per week. I was exhausted and frustrated. I knew I was hurting myself, but I wasn’t able to make any change for a long time. Only after I started being more connected to who I am through tai chi and meditation, I began gaining courage to make a big step. I became focused on what my soul wants to do. After 14 years of a high-paced career, my soul wanted a rest and finding something truly meaningful to do in life. Leaving my flourishing work of audit director and taking a career break is one of the most empowered steps I took in my life.

I met a lot of successful people who worked very hard to earn their status. Not all of them were happy. Together with my own experience of achieving success but loosing happiness, I started exploring what it is that is making us truly happy. On my journey, I met many amazing teachers who significantly shifted my perception of happiness and success and who encouraged me to follow my heart.

Studying with Denise Linn

Meeting Denise Linn, a renowned teacher and founder of the International Institute of Soul Coaching®, and studying with her became my most profound experience in understanding myself and others. Denise taught me how to help others hear their inner voice and I am endlessly grateful to her.

Knowing better who I am and what my true values are, I finally met a like-minded man and married him 6 years ago. We live in New Jersey, USA.

I visit the Czech Republic several times per year. I love tai chi, dancing, and hiking.
