Hi, I'm Ioana
Born in Romania, I moved to Germany in 2010 after I finished my bachelor's degree and currently live in Berlin. I've worked in hospitality, HR, office management, operations, and project management. To me, the 9-to-5 life was safe and comfortable enough but it had never been fulfilling. I would have most likely continued like that had it not been for depression and then the layoffs in my last job because I didn't believe I was somebody who deserved more than average.
I want to do work that is exciting, fills me with joy, and makes me feel connected to myself and others. The more I look within and let go of stories and beliefs that are not mine to carry, the easier it is to listen to that soft voice inside, give myself what I need and teach others how to do the same.

I grew up as a high-achieving, people-pleasing perfectionist hoping that fulfilling everyone's expectations of me would get me the love and appreciation I craved from parents, teachers, friends, coworkers, bosses. If only they would treat me like I was good enough (especially romantic partners, iykyk), then I could finally believe that I actually was. It all came crashing down in 2020 when I was diagnosed with depression. It was my system's way of 'pulling the plug' on an existence that was not truly my own. I wasn't living my life for me. I'm self-aware to a fault but I was still looking for answers outside of myself. After years of therapy and living over 3 decades completely in my head, I finally understood that my mind alone didn't have the answers I so desperately needed. Connecting to my body and going on a self-healing journey within was how I started to stitch up the bottom of the void I felt inside. And so my inner cup slowly started to fill. Breathwork as a somatic practice has been life-changing and I've had incredible experiences through it. I am here to show you the profound ways in which tapping into your body can serve you on your life path. Read more about it here and about my experiences on my blog.
