PROFESSIONAL LIFE COACHING

Finding your roots
while starting over.

If you’re standing at a crossroads, it’s never too late to build a life you love.

People often ask how an American from Los Angeles ended up in a small Serbian village with her husband, son, mother, and a homestead full of animals.

Serbia wasn’t my first fresh start. I’ve rebuilt my life through divorce, entrepreneurship, business setbacks, career changes, and moving halfway around the world. Each transition taught me resilience, adaptability, and the courage to begin again.

Today, I help others navigate life’s biggest transitions as a certified professional life coach and founder of Karmanify.
