Life is too short for "I will do it next year"!
There is no better moment than the present moment.

Facilitated by Florina
Florina is a holistic life coach and founder of Mindful Connecting. Before becoming an accredited life coach, she spent years working as an international corporate lawyer for the EU Commission, and top international law firms in Brussels.
She started her path of self-development over ten years ago and since then she trained as a mental health informed coach, meditator and tantra facilitator. She works with coaching techniques focused on mindset transformation, but she also incorporates healing arts and draws inspiration from eastern spiritual traditions such as tantra and Buddhism.
Having immersed herself in the world of self-development, she wanted to create something from her heart, that would bridge the gap between self-development, mental health and spirituality. That is when she created Mindful Connecting. Her vision is to bring together elements of the mind, body and soul, to find harmony and alchemise energy into powerful transformation and growth.
She carefully curate holistic experiences that balance working with the mind, body and soul, evoking growth, healing and transformation. She will take you on a journey of self-discovery and connection, in a compassionate manner, while also encouraging you to firmly pursue your innate wisdom.

Refuelling
I attended one of Florina's classes and she stands out to me as a facilitator in her ability to make you feel both comfortable and loved - yet able to push you to get past your comfort zone, when needed. She is warm and loving by nature, yet strong and encouraging when the moment calls for it. It's a very special quality, with the ability to help people get past "comfortable" and really improve their mental health and their life. Florina has it. I would highly recommend working with her.
