I am a Psychotherapist (practicing Biosynthesis- holistic and somatic Psychotherapy), Consulter for Couples as well as a Movement and Qi Gong therapist. I studied Literature and Esthetics in Belgrade and worked as a teacher for a long time. Through Yoga, Thai Chi and Qi Gong, all of which I has been practicing since early youth, I discovered the body as an essential source and got inspired to study somatic psychotherapy. As I got acquainted with the work of Andrea Juhan (in 2001) I deeply fell in love with it. Since that time I am dancing with great passion, since 2017 I graduate as a Open Floor Therapist. No matter whether if a am teaching in different Schools for Psychotherapy (IBP, IEF) or giving workshops or individual sessions, body, dance and movement as essential principles for development and growth are always included. I loves to combine dance, teaching and travel, enjoys giving workshops in new places and different countries. But mostly I am satisfied if I can support Individuals in their personal process of healing.
Approach
"While I am sitting still, doing nothing, the spring time is arriving and the grass is turning green." (Zentrin Kunshu)
Tao/ Wu Wei My inner therapeutic approach can be best described by the Taoist concept of wu wei (action without intention, non-intervention). Wu wei denotes a complete absence of any kind of obtrusiveness or violence. It is the principle of non-intervention by our free will. The principle of flowing and going along with the nature of things – gently, but with the persistence of water
As a therapist, I endeavour to act without intervening - I neither show clients the path, nor stand in their way. In order to perceive and support the natural flow of their life, apart from my professional knowledge, first of all, I need to possess the ability for a mindful and compassionate observation.
„Every quest starts and ends in the inner kingdom of the soul“
Anam Ćara"The Friend of the Soul" (Gaelic): Companion on the path to the inner realm of one’s soul, As an outside force: a companion; as an inner force: to be familiar with one’s own soul. Anam Cara can see the human soul behind his character-facade and supports him in the perception of his own qualities, as well as in their further development and integration in everyday life.
My main task as a therapist is to establish a good alliance with the clients’ qualities and abilities, thus supporting him in his growth and in overcoming his conditioning.
Passions
Languages / Literature
Reading was my first passion, which has influenced my life deeply. Studying Literature and Aesthetics at the Belgrade University gave me a great pleasure and satisfaction.
Soul / Spirituality
At the age of 23 I started practicing yoga, meditation and various self-development techniques systematically and intensively.
Psychotherapy
While studying Biosynthesis (Somatic Psychotherapy) I was given an opportunity to pursuit my third big passion – exploring the human psyche.
Dance / Body / Movement
I discovered the body as a source of joy, and dance as a possibility of the soul expression relatively late. And since then, I have worked passionately on inspiring both myself and others to body and soul playfulness.
All these areas make an important part of my professional practice as a psychotherapist.
