About me

Hi there! I’m Marija.

I spent 12 years building my career as a software engineer working at Microsoft, Siemens, Netlight. I moved to Germany, struggled to build a life here, and eventually landed a role at one of the most prestigious engineering companies.

On paper, I had made it. Inside, I was completely lost.

That question, "Is this really it?", changed everything.

Today I bring my engineering background, corporate experience, holistic tools, and coaching skills to help tech professionals living abroad find clarity, reconnect with themselves, and build a life that's genuinely theirs.
