Life is a path.Dominika Adamova
Life is a winding path with a variety of crossroads and turns. Sometimes we walk lightly on our path. At other times the path is very challenging for us and our walk is heavy. We may be turning in circles or going back and forth uncertain which way to go. My path also had many challenging stretches which made me stronger.
I’ll be happy to accompany you when your path gets hard to walk. Trouble shared is trouble halved. It is possible to make a problem smaller or to resolve it completely. Together we can figure out what to change and how, so you do not have to worry or suffer anymore.

It’s Not Just Work That Makes Me Alive
I love nature, animals and meeting human beings of all kinds. I like to walk and take pictures of everything that catches my attention with its uniquiness and oddity. Sometimes I go dancing or I grab a guitar and sing. Majority of my free time I like to spend with my family, my niece and little nephew, and our cat and dogs.
