🍀Calling all Melbourne-based stylist/photographers🍀

This is a new project I’m launching, designed to support clients through both pre-op preparation and post-op transformation 💫�

Having been a patient myself, I deeply understand the physical and emotional changes that come with this journey—and how important it is to feel confident in your body at every stage.

I’m looking to connect with the right stylist/photographer who aligns with this vision, and I’d love to get a feel for:

✨ Your style and approach
✨ Your experience
✨ Your pricing and packages

If this resonates with you and you feel called to be part of something meaningful, please DM me to chat about a potential collaboration 🤍

After bariatric surgery… the weight drops.
But what about your identity?

You’ve changed your body, but stepping into your new self? That’s a whole different journey.

Many people are still hiding…

🖤 In black

🖤 In oversized clothes

🖤 In the “old version” of themselves

Even though they’re ready to be seen.

✨ I’m exploring a Post-Bariatric Transformation Experience ✨

Not just counselling—but also:

👗 Personal styling guidance

📸 A professional photoshoot

Because this isn’t about clothes or photos…
It’s about finally feeling like YOU in your new body.

💭 I’d love your feedback—which best describes you?

1️⃣ Yes, I’d love this as part of my journey

2️⃣ Maybe, depends on pricing

3️⃣ Not for me right now

Comment your choice or simply reply “TRANSFORM” 🤍

Your feedback helps me create something meaningful for this community.

🍀This logo represents more than a brand — it represents evolution, growth, and transformation 🌿

🍀My journey began in a very intuitive space, offering psychic and photo readings… holding space in a different way. From there, I evolved into providing counselling support for women, creating safety, understanding, and emotional healing.

🍀As my path deepened, so did my purpose.

🍀Through my own growth, lived experience, and professional development, I found my true calling in bariatric counselling and holistic coaching — supporting individuals through one of the most life-changing journeys they can take.

🍀This logo reflects that transformation.

🍀The dual figures represent balance — masculine and feminine energy within all of us. The leaves symbolise growth, renewal, and healing. The DNA strand represents deep, lasting change — not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

🍀What started as a psychic-based business has transformed into a holistic, evidence-informed, heart-led practice — grounded in compassion, clinical insight, and lived understanding.

🍀I am incredibly grateful to have a surgeon who saw something in me — the ability to bring a truly holistic approach into the bariatric space. To not just support weight loss… but to support the human behind the journey.

🍀Because this work isn’t just about surgery. It’s about identity. It’s about healing. It’s about becoming.

🍀Just like my clients, I too am ever evolving — as a therapist, as a practitioner, and as a person.

🍀And this logo represents that ongoing journey…
Transform. Empower. Thrive.

✨ Call to action: If you’re preparing for bariatric surgery, navigating life after, or seeking deeper emotional support — I’m here to walk alongside you.

I recently had the opportunity to collaborate with the team at Better Life Surgery to help develop this post about the importance of mindset preparation before bariatric surgery as part of our shared care approach supporting patients.

The slides also include my own before-and-after photos, as I believe it’s important for patients to know that their counsellor has also experienced the bariatric journey. This allows me to support patients with both professional counselling expertise and lived experience.

Many patients think weight loss surgery is a quick fix—but surgery is just the first step. ✅

Long-term success comes from combining surgical care with psychological and behavioural preparation. That’s why at Better Life Surgery we offer the Bariatric Mindset & Transformation Program, designed to help patients prepare mentally and emotionally for their journey.

This program supports patients to:

• Prepare mentally for surgery
• Understand and manage emotional eating
• Build confidence and a healthy self-image
• Create a strong support system
What makes this program unique is the combination of professional counselling support and lived bariatric experience, helping patients feel understood and supported every step of the way.

✨ Preparing your mind is just as important as preparing your body.

🙌🤍💕🌹Today on International Women’s Day, I honour the strength, resilience and transformation that lives within every woman.

Women carry so many roles, stories, wounds, and victories. Yet again and again, we rise. We heal. We rebuild. We transform.

Transformation isn’t just about changing our bodies or our circumstances — it’s about rediscovering our worth, reclaiming our voice, and remembering the powerful woman we were always meant to be.

This is the heart of my work at DESA Holistic Wellbeing. Supporting women through healing, personal growth, weight loss journeys, and life transitions so they can step into their most empowered, confident selves.

If you’re ready to begin your own transformation journey, I’m here to support you.

For years people told me: “Just exercise more.”

What they didn’t realise was that I was living with Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS).

When I used to teach children folklore dancing, some mums would say I’d lose weight just by being active. But PCOS, hormones and insulin resistance make weight loss much more complex.

Many people assume being overweight means someone is lazy. The truth is there are often deeper medical and hormonal factors behind it.

After trying everything, I chose Bariatric surgery, which can help improve metabolic health and insulin resistance for many people.

Now through my work I support women and men navigating weight loss, bariatric journeys and confidence.

If you’re considering surgery, I work alongside BetterLife Surgery (consult with them first, then referral to me).

Or you can contact me directly for counselling.

✨️It starts with a quick selfie in the work bathroom mirror.

✨️Not because you’re being vain…
But because something has shifted.

✨️You stand a little taller.
✨️Your eyes look brighter.
✨️And for the first time in a long time, you’re starting to recognise yourself again.

✨️Weight loss surgery changes your body, but what people don’t talk about enough is the mental and emotional journey that comes with it.

✨️The self-doubt.
✨️The identity changes.
✨️The habits.
✨️The confidence you have to rebuild.

✨️I know this journey personally, and it’s why I now support others as a Bariatric Counsellor & Weight Loss Coach.

✨️You don’t have to navigate it alone.

✨️If you’re preparing for surgery, healing after, or struggling somewhere along the way — I’m here to support you.

✨ Online sessions available.

✨️Comment JOURNEY or send me a message and I’ll share how I can help.

💖 Valentine’s Day Special on Serbian Radio! 💖

Yesterday, I had the joy of being on air with my fiancé alongside the lovely, exceptional ladies Katarina and Tatjana, and the inspiring Lana, who dedicates her life to our local community as a politician and more.

We spoke in both Serbian and English about love in all its forms — not just romantic love. It can be for your kids, parents, loved ones, pets… and most importantly, yourself. In my counselling work, it’s clear how love — or the lack of it — influences choices, behaviours, and overall wellbeing.

✨ A few laughs, meaningful reflections, and community connection made this a very special conversation. ✨

💌 Thinking about a journey of change through bariatric counselling or coaching? It starts with self-love. When you nurture yourself and honour your needs, true transformation becomes possible — physically, emotionally, and mentally. DM me or book a session via my website to start your empowered journey today.
