A few years ago, I experienced a huge disappointment in my sporting career. I was just one point away from clinching my first national championship title. Unfortunately, in that crucial moment, I froze and ended up losing the match with a seven-point losing streak. While this was undeniably a painful moment, it played a crucial role in my subsequent growth. I firmly believe that I wouldn't be where I am now without that experience. Rising from that defeat, I learned valuable lessons, and today, I proudly hold three championship titles.

I was trying to come to terms with the my dad’s death and our final connections and relationships. I took it as a personal failure that I couldn't be with him in his last moments.
I connected with Zuzka just before my father's death, and it turned out to be the perfect timing – as they say, nothing happens by chance. During this period, I was struggling with coming to terms with his death, reflecting on our final connections and relationships. I was having trouble accepting that I hadn't been told in time that his end was near, and I couldn't be by his side in his last moments. Having been with him just the day before, I felt a sense of failure for not being there when he passed. Zuzka helped me navigate through this challenging time and provided a fresh perspective on the situation. I highly recommend sessions with Zuzka; they are always conducted in a stimulating, friendly, and safe atmosphere, and I always take away an enlightening "aha" moment.

We all face moments of decision, standing at crossroads where we must choose our paths. These moments often require great courage.
We all face moments of decision, standing at crossroads where we must choose our paths. Career or family? Stay in a relationship or move on? Give my children freedom or keep them under my “protective” wing? Having someone to help me in these these situations has been invaluable, offering a fresh perspective on my life. Through distance, perspective, and sometimes diving into more details, I found answers to my questions. The realization struck that all the answers were inside me; I just needed to ask the right questions. Zuzka, by posing insightful questions, helped me understand what truly mattered and guided me as I took the first steps towards a solution. At the same time, I embraced my life lessons as invaluable gifts, propelling my personal growth and enabling me to live each day better than the last.

I was the one that others could always lean on. But at one point, I had no strength left. The overload was taking its toll. I sought out Zuzka because I needed to realize my worth and gain the strength to face the pressure and fight against being manipulated.
I was always the dependable one, the person others could rely on. Yet, at a certain point, I discovered I was running out of strength. The constant strain began affecting my health, and gradually, I realized that people were taking advantage of me, making me susceptible to manipulation. Zuzka has been instrumental in helping me shift my mindset—I've learned to prioritize myself, assume responsibility for my life, and rediscover a sense of freedom. My childhood was far from easy, having lost my mother, I shouldered the responsibility of caring for my younger brother amidst various pressures. While this period equipped me with personal strength and empathy, it also left me with enduring traumas and unhealthy patterns. Susan demonstrated that I deserved to prioritize myself and that I could ask for help. Together, we're working to overcome these traumas and blocks. Thanks to Zuzka, I've gained a valuable perspective, breathe freely, and move through life with ease and joy.

I find that I put myself in uncomfortable situations daily, and afterward, I tend to dwell on them, constantly evaluating what I could have done differently. This process can actually take years, or I struggle with it in dreams. It’s exhausting.
I find that I put myself in uncomfortable situations daily, and afterward, I tend to dwell on them, constantly evaluating what I could have done differently. This process can actually take years, or I struggle with it in dreams. It’s exhausting. Thanks to Zuzka, I can now identify why this happens and understand how to work with it. I'm beginning to feel calm and comfortable during these conversations. I stopped creating unhelpful scenarios and started to enjoy living with myself more. It’s just true that when you love yourself, the people around you benefit as well.

Complete burnout opened up a new perspective on the world for me. It forced me to completely rethink the reasons behind my actions and who I do them for. I gathered my courage, began to overcome my demons and turned everything around. I'm taking my life into my own hands!

In the hustle and bustle of a typical day, I often found myself unable to respond to my children's behavior in the way I truly wanted. There wasn't enough time to pause and reflect on both my actions and those of my children. I habitually relied on my unconscious reactions, even when I felt I could have done better...
In the hustle and bustle of a typical day, I often found myself unable to respond to my children's behavior in the way I truly wanted. There wasn't enough time to pause and reflect on both my actions and those of my children. I habitually relied on my unconscious reactions, even when I felt I could have done better.
My relationship with my adolescent son is so important to me. I wanted to understand his reactions in different situations and to find the most effective ways to approach him, so that we were both satisfied and could achieve our shared goals. Consequently, I began consciously analyzing these challenging moments, pinpointing the sources of conflict, understanding the causes of reactions, and looking for ways to calm tense situations. Though it's a long process, I'm already seeing significant improvements. We communicate calmly, openly, and lovingly about our feelings, actively listen to each other, and, in doing so, successfully handle most situations, bringing more harmony to our coexistence and to the entire family…

Despite talking about it over and over again, we, as mothers, wives, and managers, often struggle to find time for ourselves. Taking a moment each day to pause, slow down, and engage in activities that benefit our body, mind, and soul. In our endless pursuit of accomplishment, advocacy for “whatever”, and sacrifice for our loved ones, we overlook the most important thing: ourselves and our health...

Zuzka will guide you in putting "you", back into first place. She'll help you discover a daily moment, your "pit stop," where you can replenish the necessary dose of energy and gain perspective. Without consciously creating such moments, you won't be effective anywhere, be it at home or work. I've come to understand this, though it took some figuring out. Now, I face another challenge—keeping it up!

I took some big hits in my life pretty early on. It started with the long illness and the death of my mother. Soon after, those who had been my security and support began to leave this world in rapid succession. As the years went by, unnoticed by me, fears began to accumulate, quietly influencing my daily life. I believed I understood myself, convinced that I knew the roots of my problems and could manage them by pushing them out of my thoughts. I assumed these personal experiences wouldn't impact my relationships or career.
In my sessions with Zuzka, I discovered that an underlying constant fear was oppressing me more than I had imagined. It fueled the belief that time was scarce, and that I need to get everything done and have everything perfect right away! Paradoxically, it also froze me in place. There was no room for dead ends, detours or mistakes. In trying to choose the best path, I was stuck at the starting line for too long. Thank you Zuzka for helping me get moving. She didn't push or pull; instead, she walked alongside me, making the journey more manageable. Now, I've let go of the need to finish with instant and perfect outcomes, now I want to enjoy the journey.
