Since 2015 I’ve been weaving ancient and modern practices with lived experience, creating spaces that bring you closer to your truth.
Alignment with truth
Creating a life that’s truly yours is not only possible, but is your responsibility and a gift to the world. It’s the gift of alignment with truth.
Founder or Antistress Center Dih
In 2015 I founded the first antistress center in my town in Slovenia and ran it successfully for 7 years (moved it online during Covid). I led groups and 1:1 sessions, guiding people to connection to self, to balance and inner peace.
30+ trainings and certificates
Since 2010, I have been delving into yoga, somatics, the MBSR method (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction), various mindfulness practices, body-mind integration techniques, water therapies, therapeutic touch, and practices connected to the feminine essence. I’ve studied across Slovenia, India and Bali.
Curator of connection
What feels most alive for me today, is composing delicate experiences that allow you to soften into your truth. This offering takes 3 shapes—intimate 1:1 sessions, 1-3 day immersions, and longer retreats across the world..
Life has taught me that the only way to know is to experience. Information, unless embodied, doesn’t do anything. Every shift towards my dream life, I’ve followed what felt right instead of what made sense. And every 7 years I have a death and rebirth.
Life-long lessons of choosing myself
The foundation
Movement has always been a part of my journey. At the age of 6, I began competitive swimming, which continued until I was 12. Then came a darker period: addiction to drugs, unhealthy eating habits, and toxic relationships. Yet, this period marked a major turning point – a new birth.
The addiction
In my early 20’s I was addicted to heroin for 4 years. The miracle happened when my mom found me, napping on the chair by my bed with a drug in my hands. Since that moment, I never again tried it. I suffered a heavy abstinence crisis but still went to work, dealing with it on my own. This is the beginning of my path. Learning to listen to my truth instead of escaping it.
7 years in the wild
In my late 20’s I made a radical choice to live off-grid with my then partner. We lived self-sufficiently, aligned with natural rhythms. Nature taught me to see the beauty around us and within us, to listen to the silence, and to live in harmony with biorhythms. I learned to live very modestly, to be grateful. I understood the meaning of “less is more”, which guides me today.
Return home
In my mid 30’s, circumstances brought me back to my family home and I lived with my mom again for a year. I realized that until I accept my mom and myself in my hometown, life won’t let me move forward. That year I reorganized the relationship with my parents, the family apartment was sold and I bought a house. I trained as a massage therapist specializing in different energy techniques, uncovered my gift for creativity and dance, and began creating natural cosmetics.
The calling
I struggled finding my way back to the system after a long off-grid life. Soon an option to work in an organic shop came up. This is where I got my first client whom I helped with stress management. In this moment my calling became clear and I understood this is what I’m meant to do— transmit to people the possibilities of , softening and living from the power we carry within.
The founder
After 3 months I opened my own antistress center without a budget, not yet certified as a yoga instructor. My life started to change completely. Since 2010 I’ve been studying yoga, somatics, various mindfulness techniques, body-mind integration, PSL (present-safe-loving) touch and more. I had no idea of anything in terms of business, yet I didn’t doubt it for a moment.
A call to India
Since I started moving my business online already before covid, I was unconsciously already preparing for traveling. When a friend invited me to join them in Thailand I first hesitated, till my colleague and jyotish practitioner told me: “Maja, buy a plane ticket and go, foreign lands are meant for you”. In a week everything came together. My house was rented, cats were taken care of and I travelled to Auroville, India. This is when I understood I want my business to feel free, not tied to a place.
Bali Home
During the first year away, I organized my first two retreats in India, which were sold out in days. When I first arrived in Bali, looking for a place to host a retreat, I sat on the beach of Amed for hours and hours, feeling completely free. At this moment a dream of a home with a sea view was born.. I considered Istra, the coast in Europe. But Bali… had the people—the community. After living there for several years I felt the value of this. When my mom suggested building a house in Bali, it all came together in weeks. My Slovenian home was sold after the first viewing, I got a land in Bali and now, my dream home by the sea is almost finished.
