I’ve been in seminars, held by the greatest mentors in the world such as Anthony Robbins and Deepak Chopra, I’ve gained and developed many skills including recognizing patterns that cause people happiness, joy, abundance, and on the other hand, patterns that cause suffering, unhappiness and shortage. Over the years as a coacher, I’ve conducted over 20,000 hours of training I’ve met with hundreds of clients who were in a crisis, and those who wanted to bring development and change in at least one area of life. The teaching I practice these days is based first of all on my personal experience, out of those crises I’ve experienced.
