My Story

Caring family, happy childhood, successful academic life and glorious career… yes, I started my life as a lucky newborn and my luck has been by my side on my turning points; with the loads of questions, experience, anxiety, challenge and success stories, which I am willing to share with you with the know how’s…

Everyone desires to understand him/herself deeply and establish his/her life on it!

Always keep in mind that we are the writer of our life story, Lets create a best one!

Since childhood, I have been the questioning one; what is it? why it’s been happening? How it happens?.. But I wasn’t the loud one, asking for the answers, instead I was spending time with encyclopaedias, trying to figure out by myself – as if googling today for hours.

As my parents saw my interest, they bought all series of encyclopaedias suitable for my age. So, I started to learn variety of things; as watching the pictures and reading beneath – countries, different cultures, protocol rules – physics theories… My grandmother had been a retired head of an elementary school, so before my age of schooling, she taught me how to read as an advantage to understand what’s on anything.

Unfortunately reading and writing before school was not helping me at the elementary class, as on my first year my teacher wanted to change my seat because I was left-handed, and my arm was crashing with my friend’s arm all day. Not to change my seat, and being separated form my friend, I started to learn writing with my right hand, and never had starts from the writing module, as it was very difficult for a child to manage it, as I did.

By starting classic piano and ballet lessons at that time and playing basketball, open new horizons for me as a child, and fortunately arts and sports never have left me alone, since then.

I was very talented on drawing, and used to draw anything I liked; objects, people, buildings, nature… As I realized my passion to buildings, being an architect became my childhood dream. This dream would been delayed with the same teacher luck of mine, as I was discouraged from the numeric fields because of my couple of teachers. So, I studied English Literature, my second favorite.

Years later architecture would be a part of my life eventually as my feng shui adventure began, and I had the fruits of studying western literature and culture very soon with my London experience.

Years of Bilkent were happy, and my friendships from there are the part of my personal treasure, though Ankara was not very spectacular city to live. I was offered a place in the academy when I completed my bachelors but my instinct to break through my comfort zone has always been my motivation, and that motivation leaded me to London for my masters in LSE – Industrial Relations.

Operas, art shows, multicultural environment… have shaped me to become who I am today, what an influence.

Back in Cyprus, being a part time instructor at a uni., then professional life with GSM, and then CTA… Accordingly my first chapter of spiritual development with yoga classes.

A high-brow position, as the Marketing Manager in CIU – higher education.

Visiting the high schools one by one in N. Cyprus, travelling every region and big cities in Turkey and unimaginable international organizations… Networking with international bureaucrats, ministers, high commissioners, ambassadors, even royals… press releases, conferences, exhibitions as if I was the leading role of a movie. Feeling it and digesting it… other part of the coin; work work work, fly fly fly… glamor vs exhaustion.

As if in movie Matrix, I was being loaded, loads of programs at the same time, very precious experiences…

Then the finance sector; living through economic, political, and social crises, management changes and adaptation, and always heading to the better!

Parallel to my professional career, always concerning about my personal growth; being an instructor of vinyasa yoga, thai massage, being a practitioner of phytotherapy, holistic nutrition and feng shui… no time to waste…

And with all these repertoires, today, here I have a chance to touch your lives…

Hoping to meet you in details…
