About me and my son

For many years I was very performance-oriented. I competed with my brother (we are twins), I wanted to be the best in school, the fastest in running, I aspired to the leading roles in ballet. I chose the Faculty of Electrical Engineering because my rational, competitive male side had the main say at that time.

When I started my first company, I felt like I was on the right track. I was disciplined, enthusiastic, and goal-oriented. I accomplished whatever I set my mind to, even though I had a hard time doing things that didn't make sense to me or didn't interest me. Everything had to have order, a plan, and control.

Everything started to change after my son was born. He was born with a congenital foot deformity (PEC) and spent the first two months of his life in a cast – from his hips to his toes. It was something I couldn’t control or solve. He needed my awareness, presence and patience, not solutions. I had to slow down and start listening.

It later turned out that he had a complex joint defect (MED - Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasia), which causes pain and rapid fatigue, mainly in his forearms and shins. The doctors told us that there was not much that could be done about it - that we would have to undergo surgery and sometimes a wheelchair, because everything would exhaust him even more.

And that's when we came across craniosacral osteopathy.

Thanks to her, our lives began to change. The therapy released tension in the body, the pain almost disappeared, the psychological burden decreased. And not only for him – it was also an important turning point for us as a family. We reevaluated our values, slowed down and started listening more not only to each other, but also to ourselves.

I believe that true strength is often born from stillness. And that the journey that leads to relaxation and inner balance is worth it.
