About me
I’ve dedicated my whole life to the combination of:
developing abilities and skills of my own body while learning different things. Mainly by hopping from my mind into my body frequently – by trying various physical activities, singing and playing musical instruments etc;
being curious and looking for the answers how the body works and what it needs to be in its peak state;
(re)learning to connect with myself, my body, mind and soul, with other people, with the Mother Earth and the Universe through various practices,
seeking and finding paths to feel happy, strong and beautiful in my own skin, deeply respecting and loving my own body and soul. Breaking free from anxieties and depressions, states of overwhelm and burnout, feeling not enough. In every stage of my life, in every state, shape or form of my body. As a kid, as a teen girl, as a woman. As a human health and movement science student, as a pro athlete, as a teacher, as a health coach. As a pregnant woman, as a new mom, as a long-term breastfeeding mom. As an overweight member of an overweight family, as a skinny member of the same family. As a warrior type of woman, as a maternal type of woman. As too masculine, as too feminine. As too much, as too little. And finally, as her own version of a woman and human.
creating the space for the growth of others, inspiring and guiding them to the best version of their body and mind, their skills and knowledge and themselves. As a kids’ sports camp leader, as a university teacher, as a kids’ soccer coach, as a soccer senior team mate, as a former pro-athlete, as a PE teacher of 10-15 y. o. kids, as a certified holistic health coach and mentor, as a sports show co-host, as a certified Animal Flow instructor, as a colleague, as a friend, as a mom of 2 and a family member, as a human. As a natural leader in her respective communities. Inspiring her people to be and feel their best. As individuals, as a community. At the moment and for the rest of their lives.
and continually sharing these gifts, this abundance of knowledge and wisdom with others. With you. In order for you to grow and live your life consciously with the best version of your body, skills and knowledge… and yourself.
A secret of feeling my Be(a)st Body
Hey, I’m Barbara,
I was born to move, I freaking love my family, sea and traveling. I am a 2/4 sacral Manifesting Generator. And I’m always up to dive into my own solitude as well as connecting with like minded conscious people and creating deep meaningful connections.
I work as a movement
and longevity coach
and mentor.
I have loved moving my amazing body since I was a baby. Yet, after many years of being in peak shape, a few years ago, after giving birth to my second kid, I abandoned my body.
Not a real out of body experience haha but today I perceive it like that. I was treating my body far from the best I could, even when I used to be a pro athlete (football / soccer), had a Masters degree in human movement, nutrition and health and had always been a movement freak and a movement teacher and coach to many people.
This wasn’t really about all my knowledge and experience, it was something beyond. It was about my relationship towards my body and myself as a whole. And also, not all that knowledge I had gained throughout the years of university studies was correct. I also had no clear vision about my life, my body.
And unfortunately, it manifested in many ways like…
no energy,
overweight with a lot of belly fat,
a pain occurring years later after various sports injuries and
imperfections my mind always seeked for in my body.
Yes, I was a busy mom of 2 very little kids then but isn’t that a perfect reason to treat my body like a queen,
not the other way round?
Eventually and happily… I felt that deep calling to not settle in this state forever. I knew I deserved better.
And I felt I really needed to go back to moving my body a lot.
In spring 2021 I started doing more for my soft and not much vital mommy body and began to remember my former identity of a fit energetic woman whose life is full of movement.
In a few weeks, not by chance, I came across Mindvalley and particularly one creator. A bubbly guy who caught my attention with what he was saying about health and body and how. So knowledgeable, yet funny.
He was taking the words straight from my soul when sharing about his own life experience and communicating the science of the human body and health in a really understandable way.
Wow.
That Mindvalley creator was Ronan Diego de Oliveira, the Mindvalley’s Head of Health and Fitness.
Long story short, in the second half of the year 2021, I already took part in the Mindvalley and Evercoach transformative certification program “HoloBody“ which was created by Ronan. My intention was not only to transform my body but also to evolve as a health and longevity coach, a true leader able to serve her community in elevating their health and wellbeing.
My inside out transformation skyrocketed! Leap by leap.
My body changed a lot, my daily routines and habits shifted so much.
I started supporting my body
according to several keys of longevity:
Since then,
I have been nurturing my body with great food and frequent movement,
improving my sleep and inner stillness tremendously,
syncing myself with nature often, enhancing deep connections while aligning everything with my life purpose and much much more.
But the main thing…
I gained a new identity which has never stopped expanding since then.
It’s not that old one of a fit woman who kind of exploits her body with restrictive diets and hours and hours of boring and exhausting training to feel good enough for the people around.
I grew up from…
a girl with a body that was not in good condition,
with a mind experiencing anxieties and insecurities, never good enough for herself,
to…
a confident and compassionate woman with a big vision for herself
and her community feeling great in her own skin,
guiding others through their (body) transformations, too.
HoloBody certification course and various Mindvalley quests have been tremendous help and guidance in shedding my past and accepting a new me.
Besides that, I also jumped into the rabbit hole of Human Design at about the same time as signing up for Mindvalley. That was a tremendous leap in accepting myself as I am, leveraging my greatest strengths and managing my energy and my whole life in unapologetic alignment with who me and my body truly are. Human Design has also been a natural part of coaching sessions with my clients for several months now.
In October 2022 I also started to collaborate with Ronan as a community manager and a coach in his truly transformative group program Beyond Body where I’ve gained a lot of experience in deep transformations and work with a group. In June 2023 we started with a second cohort of conscious leaders guiding them through their 6 month body and mind transformation experience.
In my work,
I’ve always enjoyed creating space for other people’s body and mind growth and watching those beautiful transformations the most. In various roles, yet still the same thing at its core.
As a kids’ sports camp leader, as a university teacher, as a kids’ soccer coach, as a soccer senior team mate, as a former pro-athlete, as a PE teacher of 10-15 y. o. kids, as a certified holistic health coach and mentor, as a sports show co-host, as a certified Animal Flow instructor, as a colleague, as a friend, as a mom of 2 and a family member, as a human. As a natural leader in my respective communities. Inspiring my people to be and feel their best. As individuals, as a community. At the present moment and for the rest of their lives.
If you feel your deepest calling to experience yourself and your body much better in your life as I did 2 years ago, I’m inviting you to join me on a lifelong journey of elevating the state of being within your own body.
My own deep knowledge and intuition, rich experience, great supportive energy and guidance on your journey guaranteed.
