Since 2020 I live in Norway. Last years I worked in tourism service. Since my university studies, psychology has been a constant presence in my life.
I am a person who tries to be honest (to myself first and to others). Even the truth is sometimes uncomfortable or disturbing. Honesty and authenticity are qualities that I highly value in interpersonal relationships.
STUDIES
I completed hotel academy (5y) high school. My highest education degree is master in psychology on Comenius university (Bratislava,2011). Both of my university studies (Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees) were officially recognized in Norway. My education does not allow me to work in the healthcare field or as a clinical psychologist.
After university I took a part in psychoterapeutical training (POP) for more then 7 years. I worked under supervision.
In presence I am in Brainspoting training. And working as a psychological counselor (with regular supervison).
I have 200 hours of YTT, yoga teacher training completed in Risikeshi, India. (2023)
EXPERIENCES
In Slovakia, I have worked as a psychologist in school and education system. I have worked with kids, parents, and later mostly with group of teachers. I enjoyed process of bringing Swiss program “Empowered teachers” to the schools in Slovakia. For 3 years I was psychologist in detention center and refugees camp.
For several years, I have developed my own practice – working with individuals and couples.
WHAT DO I BELIEVE IN?
I was born and rised up in christian country and family.
Today I dont feel that I am or I want to be part of any religion.
I believe I can have my little human plan with my life. And then there is a bigger plan of God/Universe that is happening and will happen anyway.
I resonate with the principles of yoga, with the ancient teachings of the vedas and with the teachings of Buddhism.
Why dance of balance?
SHIV’S DANCE / WALKING ON A ROPE
In one experiential exercise in Process Oriented Psychology training (POP), I became someone (role play) walking on a tightrope. I had to keep my balance, carefully fold my leg after leg, and balance my whole body. Slowly, carefully, but with joy. My teacher, who was looking at me, said, that I reminding her of the dancing Shiva. At that time, I really liked what she saw, but I stayed “someone balancing on the rope.” Years later, suddenly, I could see what she saw. Not only seeing him, I began to feel the dance inside me. Without body-movement.
Shiva is the Hindu god of creation and destruction at the same time. His power is so enormous. (forgive me simple explanation).
I see his dance as a movement of life. It can take you to new balanced positions that will surprise you … and in the micromoment you loose balance and another position or movement develops, and balance returns to be destroyed again.
Loosing the balance can bring something new. And movement itself create balance.
For me, Shiva’s dance is flow of life /stream of experiences. Anything you experience with your body and mind. Anything what we can be aware or not aware.
Shiva and the man on the rope, both are fully present and focus on what is happening now. Not just the mind, but the whole body, THE WHOLE BEING IS PRESENT IN ACCEPTANCE WHAT IS. That is the completeness. And THAT CAN BRING THE BALANCE into our life.
