Having Ofi (this is how I call her) as my best friend and personal coach has been my greatest fortune over the years. We became closer in 2017 when I lived with her for a few months, and ever since, she has been right by my side, offering unwavering encouragement and support through some of the biggest challenges in my life.
I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at birth, and on top of that, I’ve struggled with a lack of confidence, self-doubt, and mental exhaustion during long hospital admissions. She is someone who not only listens and understands but also helps me with her patience, wisdom, and love. Yovka brings calmness in stormy times and helps me see life differently, appreciating the little things that matter most. Through her questions, I can identify the root cause of my feelings and work on them. She has guided me in uncovering my subconscious limiting beliefs and supported me in cultivating a new mindset.
I now understand that there’s no such thing as bad luck—in life, everything is a gift, teaching me to become a better version of myself. Thanks to her support, I’ve learned to love myself more; I’ve grown mentally, emotionally, and personally in ways I could never have imagined. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her guidance and support.
I always enjoy being around Yovka. She's someone you can share even the things you usually keep to yourself with — and she'll just as easily respect it if there are moments when you're not ready to talk. This creates a sense of support without pressure, giving you the space to find your footing at your own pace. Life is full of unpredictable situations, and she has a way of being that kindred spirit who reminds you it's okay to trust the process.
Yovka is so much more than my auntie — she’s my soul’s mother, my safe space, and a precious friend. I’ve known her my entire life, but we grew closer as I got older, started living on my own, and began asking deeper questions about situations that triggered strong emotions. In the beginning, it was hard for me to accept her perspective. Her wisdom challenged what I believed to be true. But slowly, through many deep, honest conversations, something began to shift. She’s always there for me—helping me navigate my relationship with my parents, challenges at work, and supporting my personal growth. Thanks to her, I’ve learned to see life, others, and even myself through new eyes. I’m almost 28 and just beginning to discover who I truly am—but the Universe blessed me with someone who sees me, supports me, and believes in me endlessly: my auntie, Yovka.
Working with Yovka during the hardest part of my life was an incredible experience - she was not just supportive and friendly but also honest and never told me what I wanted to hear. Instead she offered different perspectives, a viewpoint which made me look into myself and what I really wanted. She was there on the other end of the phone, always assisting and willing to listen and support.
Yo is an amazing coach, the way she handles things and her methods have helped influence my whole way of living and have made me create better habits for myself and my family.
If you are going through a difficult time, need someone to help or just listen without a judgement, contact her, you will find a coach, a friend and so much more.
