ABOUT ME
I’ve spent most of my life chasing performance.
First on the bike, then in myself, and eventually, in others.
As a professional cyclist, I had the privilege to compete on some of the biggest stages in the world. I raced for the best teams and trained at the highest level. I stood on podiums, won the Critérium du Dauphiné, claimed national titles, and represented Slovenia at the Olympic Games. On paper, I had it all.
But what most people didn’t see was everything that came with it.
Behind the victories was pressure.
Behind the power numbers, exhaustion.
Behind the control — a constant fight for identity.
Like many athletes, I internalized the belief that performance equals worth. That suffering is noble. That pushing harder is always the answer.
Over time, my body and mind began to break down. I dealt with recurring injuries, a deep emotional numbness, and a full-blown eating disorder that consumed not just my physical health, but my sense of self.
I wasn’t training anymore — I was surviving.
At some point, I stopped running from the pain and started listening to it.
That was the beginning of everything.
I stepped away from competition and immersed myself in learning — not just how to rebuild my body, but how to reconnect with it.
I immersed myself in understanding how the human body truly works — not just in peak moments, but under pressure, in fatigue, and during recovery.
I dove deep into human physiology, cellular metabolism, the mechanics of breath, and the architecture of restorative sleep.
I spent years exploring how performance is regulated from within: how stress alters biology, how tension reshapes posture and movement, and how the body communicates long before it breaks down.
Along the way, I worked hands-on with tools like HRV tracking, blood biomarker interpretation, red light therapy, movement diagnostics, and breathing assessments — not as gadgets, but as windows into deeper patterns.
A fundamental turning point in my journey was discovering the AEQ method®.
Not as just another tool — but as the one that finally allowed me to slow down enough to feel what I had spent years escaping.
It gave me language for the tension I carried.
It helped me reconnect to sensations I had numbed, ignored, or overridden.
It showed me how deeply my eating disorder, emotional detachment, and relentless drive were linked to patterns of chronic muscular and neurological contraction.
Through consistent, structured work with AEQ, I began to rebuild a relationship with my body — one based not on control or force, but on listening, awareness, and trust.
That process didn’t just change how I move.
It changed how I live.
Along the way, I integrated what I had learned — from elite sport, from science, and from experience — into a new approach to health, performance, and human potential.
Today, I work with athletes, entrepreneurs, professionals, and high performers of all kinds.
People who are driven, capable, and strong — but disconnected from the very body that made them successful.
My role is not to “fix” or push.
It’s to guide people back to themselves — through movement, breath, awareness, nervous system regulation, and strategic tools that support performance from the inside out.
I don’t believe in magic formulas.
But I do believe in precision, in integration, and in the body’s ability to heal and evolve — when we finally stop overriding it.
This isn’t a comeback story.
It’s a story of remembering what was always there.
