How long have you been doing what you do and how did you become a Health Coach?
To answer this question, it's probably best that I share with you a series of breakdowns that I transformed into breakthroughs. It really is a compelling story that brought me to where I am today - coaching people like you on exactly what to do to jumpstart your health and confidence level.
My first breakdown occurred when I was only 15 years old. When I failed the 9th grade at my high school in Poland, my confidence was shot. I was so embarrassed and ashamed of myself that I attempted suicide. Somehow, I survived!
At age 17, I developed an eating disorder called anorexia/bulimia and brought my weight down to 123 pounds! For those that don't know me in person, I am 6 feet tall and my current healthy weight is 165lbs. I was severely under nourished then; my energy level was low and my menstruation ceased. The risk of losing one's period at a young age is poor bone development and even osteoporosis. The physical breakdown my body experienced inspired me to learn about health and nutrition.
A few years later I enrolled at York University to study Kinesiology and Health Science from which I graduated with specialized honours.
When I came to Canada at the age of 20, instead of living a better life, which is what many immigrants think will happen here, I became depressed. I spent two years in a ‘funk' which resulted in me running away from home, and away from my own parents who brought me here. It took my family years to overcome the scars this decision caused us. I am happy to report that we are now a happy family.
I was excited to learn about how to become healthy, both physically and emotionally. I was curious as to why we follow certain patterns and wanted to find a way to break these patterns. Joining York University was one of the best decisions I have ever made, I chose to be a symbol of health. In time I transformed my body and was in top notch shape. I formed healthy eating habits and I finally felt I had won my war with anorexia/bulimia. However, despite my healthy looking body, I had acne. This was not just typical acne. I had the type of acne that left scars and was very painful. It started spreading on my neck and back. I felt ugly and couldn't figure out how I could possibly heal it. Nothing that I tried at the time was working.
One day, someone suggested I try homeopathy and, out of desperation, I did. The results were miraculous! I experienced a total rebirth and started a new life. The pimples healed within a couple of months. I realized then and there that even though my acne was hormonal, it had everything to do with my emotions and the way I saw the world. I felt big but I acted small and that created friction. I realized it wasn't my body I needed to work with but my mind. Form does follow function.
The appreciation I felt for my cure inspired me so much that I decided to study this unique type of medicine so that I could help others. I felt compelled to share the benefits of Homeopathy with the rest of the world and since then I've often wondered if serving and helping others is our higher purpose.
Around this time I also started meditating and taming my mind. The impossible became possible. I started fulfilling my childhood dreams. Learning horseback riding was one of them. I decided I wanted to be free and recognized that fear is what stops us from living this way. I faced my paralysing fear of heights when I started to rock climb. I eliminated my fears one by one and I started to finally live and do what mattered most in my life. I began to live an amazing and adventurous life, filled with laughter, dance and satisfaction.
I stopped working for others and started working for myself, fulfilling my vision. I started my own practice in 2007. Everything in my life was flowing easily. In 2008 I became a mom to a healthy boy who is my inspiration and love.
Alas another lesson, another breakdown. In 2009, I had a snowboarding accident - a severe concussion - which resulted in anxiety and panic attacks for a couple of years to come. I kept working on my mind. I took part in the Landmark Education curriculum and joined a club with a focus on the Law of Attraction. At this point I was able to fully overcome my fear of public speaking. I also healed myself of the anxiety and panic attacks.
Since then, I've worked with many private clients, spoken in front of countless groups, was featured on television, authored a book and opened my own Wholistic Care Center (which now has two locations!). I now have over 500, 000 fans globally! That's like a whole city! Not to mention one of my biggest accomplishments cycling trip across the whole country of Canada (7, 200 km) in 77 days!
I believe that living an empowered life is our legacy and I can help you to live yours and save you precious time in getting there. I have created the Live in the Zone™ system, which is a series of 10 important inner and outer health building steps every person, coach, consultant, healer or sole practitioner needs to apply to get out of his/her own way, and jumpstart and restore their health in record time.
When I refer to health, I mean Health in all its meanings, physical/mental/emotional health, healthy (and loving) relationships, healthy (and supportive) environment and of course healthy (and growing) business.
Who are your clients?
I work with women who have tried just about everything to get a handle on their health, women who are overwhelmed, women with eating disorders, women who beat themselves up constantly, women who are giving up on life, anxious and depressed, women of all ages, women with high levels of stress, athletes, performers, artists, and women who are ready to live the life they deserve. Even though I mostly work with women, I am open to working with men.
What makes you different from other "health experts"?
Although we will occasionally touch upon life management, you have me as a confidence and health expert. I look at your health, relationships and business from an organic and spiritual perspective.
I'm also very spiritual and I don't pretend to hide it either. Because I don't beat around the bush, you'll always get a straight to the point, quick and honest response from me. I'm concerned with how to get your health back - to help you STOP wasting time and leaking your energy and your power where it doesn't belong and get you focussed on engaging in health - generating activities sooner.
I don't beat around bushes or waste time. You may not like what I have to tell you - but you can be sure I will always tell you the truth. The truth about what's standing in the way of your health and how to get rid of it FAST so you can start getting results in record time (and I throw in a healthy dose of humour and inspiration, which always helps!).
What type of personality do you work best with and what is expected of me?
The Live in the Zone workshops, products and programs were created for people who are absolutely excited and dead serious about breaking out of their rut, breaking through resistance, getting healthy, and ending what I call "the spinning anxiety syndrome" - it means running around all day long, beating yourself up anymore saying: "I should be looking and feeling WAY better than this!" The programs were created for you to put systems in place within a few months (sometimes weeks!), which will eventually lead you to gaining more confidence, energy and happiness so you can finally live the life you deserve. That's what I call FREEDOM.
Being a high achieving go-getter myself, I'm known to work best with other high achieving go-getters, people who are committed to themselves no matter what, who are super-ready to get going and just want to know exactly what steps to take to attract more clients. My clients often tell me - "just tell me what to do and I'll do it!"
Consider what you'll do with me to be a high-octane crash course on everything you need to know to succeed in your health. You will be expected to take serious and consistent action. No excuses anymore, just a very different way of thinking and full support while you achieve this incredibly exciting goal: confidence and health, consistently and in record time.
For what type of professionals are your programs NOT going to work?
Please know that I am very selective in who I work with and I cherry-pick my clients, choosing to (gently) turn away people who aren't suited for my programs and won't get the results for which they would have signed up for (it wouldn't be fair to them).
The Achieve Perfect Health program is the umbrella name for all the programs and is NOT for those who have no money coming in and are absolutely financially desperate, at least not right away. It's been my experience that people in a financial crisis do not trust the recommendations I give them and do not do the work (probably because they spend so much time worrying about where they are going to get next month's rent check or mortgage payment from).
If you fall within this category, it's absolutely OK. We've all been in times of financial crisis at one point or another. Do yourself two favours:
1. Get some money coming in with a full-time or part-time job at the very least, and then call me. This will take the edge off and provide a little more peace of mind. Most importantly, it will give you more time to de-clutter your mind enough to focus on your Health assignments and the BIG picture.
2. Sign up for the free E-zine "5 Keys to Improve your Health" via my website. The free information will get you started towards your goals until you're ready to work with me one-on-one.
Doing these two things will really help you get primed for our work. When you're ready, call me and we'll get you started. (I'm in no rush and will be there when you need me).
Another type of personality I won't work with (without exception) is the whiner or the chronic skeptic, as well as inpiduals who consistently make excuses for not getting their assignments done or challenge every aspect of the program. If you are one of these people, I gently and respectfully ask that you not call and I hope you understand why. We'll probably just not work well together and I wouldn't want you to waste your time or money. Is that fair?
What exactly is the Live in the Zone™ system and what does it include?
Skyrocketing your confidence and your health begins with understanding your true value, where your power really comes from, how to manifest what you want (including more health, fun, romance and more money), creating powerful intentions that get you results as well as the outer pieces to powerfully get the word out about who you really are. Here's what the System gets you to do:
1. Identify the Pattern
We examine where you really are in your health, relationship and business and get clarity on where you are stuck, what pattern you keep repeating. Once we bring awareness to it, we can finally face it and breakthrough it together.
2. Release Your Inner Resistance
Mostly you might already know what you need to be doing but yet are still struggling in procrastination, feeling stuck and spinning in circles. You'll be learning proven techniques for breaking through your inner resistance, self - doubt, fear, anxiety and all of that “stuff" that keeps you playing small so that you can begin taking a massive action towards your perfect health.
3. Create Your Ideal Life
Together we'll find out exactly how a healthy mind and body is reflected in other areas of your life. We will get CRYSTAL clear about your intentions, what you truly want to experience in your life and create your ideal Life Profile including your health, relationship(s), environment and passion (work/business).
4. Design your Mindset
We'll spend considerable time working on and modifying your mindset and giving it a new direction for your life. Your mindset is your trajectory in life. It is the answer to everything.
5. MASTER your body
Our body is our precious vehicle. Do you love it? Are you grateful for the feedback manifested in various symptoms? To live free of symptoms is to be dead. All feedback is good. We will work on connecting mind and body so they form a unified tool that can serve you better and is at your command. The body becomes like a tamed elephant which you can use to move forward and build the future you desire and deserve. Now, get excited about high energy, peace of mind and confidence or you can have it all!
6. Have the relationship(s) you DESERVE
Your relationships are a reflection of yourself. Have you looked beyond the obvious? We will work on breaking the patterns and cultivating self love so the matching partner is exactly what you envisioned.
7. Step into a NEW environment
Your environment is your marinating sauce. Are you happy with the way you live? Do you like your neighbourhood? Does your car reflect who you are? It is time to create a place, design and implement it. We will be working on bringing your future dream home closer to where you are now. It is time to upgrade to a new level.
8. Add PASSION to everything you do
Are you living a passionate life? What excites you? Did you know that your level of passion is equivalent to your level of income? We will look closely at what excites you and how you can share yourself with the world this way. This could mean a career change, but nothing to worry about. Living a passionate life is the only way. Think about it - if you only had 2 months to live, what kind of changes would you make? How would you live your life differently?
9. Implement the new YOU
With the recipe for health, you will notice significant improvements in all areas of your life. Health is a transferable state, and it overflows into everything you do. Yes, there will be homework and it will be fun! I promise, you will love to step into the extraordinary and leave the ordinary behind. YOU deserve the best!
10. Celebrate!
We'll focus a lot of our time on celebrating wins and creating the new habit of celebrating what's showing up for you. What you focus on expands and everything you are learning and experiencing is of your creation. Your confidence will skyrocket as you consistently produce results over and over again! Celebrate what shows up so you can pave the way for even more success!
In addition to these 10 steps, you will learn hundreds and hundreds of things to help you manage your health and life more effectively.
These are the steps of the Live in the Zone™ system that I've created after working with women entrepreneurs to help them get ahead.
Does this really work?
Yes! The result of our work is an approach to shifting your health and your life so that with time and consistency you'll skyrocket your confidence in your ability to live the life you deserve. See Testimonials

How quickly can I expect results?
That depends on how effectively you follow the program. Some clients are ready to go, jump start their health and skyrocket their success in a very short time frame, sometimes even a few weeks while others have a bit more work to do first. It depends on where you are now. Is it a weight issue, chronic pain, a skin disorder or an emotional struggle? It also depends on how far along you are in following your dreams, Do you do what you love? Are you living a passionate life? Do you love your work/business?

Yes, a resounding Yes! Your first and most important investment should be in yourself. Once you are filled with that energy, it will start overflowing into other areas. The leadership skills you will get are unshakable, your confidence, your passion and love will awaken all areas of your life, but most importantly you will be healthy and free. There is nothing that can top this, is there?
