A Story of a
Multi-disciplinary Girl

''What do you do for living?'' has been the hardest question for me. I've always struggled with keeping myself in one single professional field. I strongly believe that multi-disciplinarity is the biggest advantage in the world we live in and allows us to bring innovation and creative thinking in every industry.

So, apart from what my LinkedIn Profile says about me I'm a dance artist, an outdoor-gal, a good listener to my friends and a connecting point for my family. Due to Astrology I'm a Pieces with Sagittarius rising. According to the 16 Personalities Test I'm The Campaigner, but really...

I'm just a curious girl who is obsessed with self-exploration and expression, who likes equally all of these roles and wishes for more people to give expression to their truest self, and not put themselves into boxes.

Knowing who you are and living it fully. Authenticity is staying true to yourself in the choices that you make and the words that you speak everyday. It takes honesty and bravery to face who you truly are and to show it to a world.

To me vulnerability is full emotional exposure. It's the ability to express how you feel both in the good and the hard moments. The ability to open up and say: ''That hurt me'', or sometimes ''I love you'' first. It's what gives colour to our life and what connects us as human beings.

We don't know how long I we'll be on this planet, so I don't want to have important things unsaid or left not done. One day, I want to look back and know that I don't regret anything and I haven't postponed a thing for ''the right time''. That I've done my failings, my heartbreaks and I've lived fully.

Honesty & Authenticity

Vulnerability

No Regrets Mindset

I truly believe that happiness is a choice each and everyone of us makes on a daily basis. It's the way you choose to see the world and the people you surround yourself with. What we focus our attention on - multiplies. So, choose wisely.

Life is in constant change, so we need to learn to be flexible - in our thinking and way of living. Freedom to me means to be open to change and embrace every new phase of your life with curiosity. It's having the bravery to change directions and follow your interests and pulls.

One of the things I value most in people is allowing yourself to think and do differently. And this is what creativity really means for me. To combine and develop the impressions you've gathered from this world and express them through your unique point of view.

My Values

In my life I've figured out that there are 6 core beliefs and understandings that make me who I am and shape they way I live, the way I see the world and make choices.

What My Clients Say About Me

What I like most about Vihra is that she gives me both positive and negative feedback and I can rely on her honesty. Having a brainstorming buddy that you can count on is always useful. Also, she just calm my nerves and help me see the bigger picture.
Evangelia from Book'n'Cook
''Vihra is the perfect blend of Dreamer and DO-er. She's not afraid of tough conversations - she keeps it real & honest, so you'll always know that you're in good hands of someone who is truly looking out for your best interest. To me, that's what it's all about. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a coach & mentor.''
Paige
''What I loved most about working with Vihra is that she's not looking down on people "teaching" them how to do things but rather leverages their potential and experience and complement it with hers, which ends up boosting the quality of the end result. It feels like co-creating.''
