Monica Măgureanu, Systemic Coach and Compassionate Inquiry Student I am a systemic coach and in 2021 I started training and certification in the Compassionate Inquiry® method, a therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté. An approach designed to bring to the surface what lies beyond the story we present to the world. The essence of trauma, beyond any dysfunctional behavior, addiction, illness, confusion, possible mental blocks, lies in the disconnection from our deepest selves. By applying Compassionate Inquiry® both the client and the therapist can recognise the beliefs, the unconscious behaviors that rule their lives and ways to free themselves from them. Through Compassionate Inquiry®, the client has the opportunity to explore with the therapist the beliefs, implicit memory, bodily and mental states that underlie the behaviours we express in the world.

Practical in Devon May 2022 Theory May 2022 Qualified Hatha Yoga Teacher May 2022 Not even a year yet what a journey !!!! I am now studying again with BSY pre-natal and postnatal yoga. I specialise in bespoke one-to-ones or small groups, as I feel clients like that personal connection. I am bit of a yoga surfer at the moment, I have two places in Penrith, Cumbria that I use and I work around their businesses. I now have my own yoga studio based in Penrith, Cumbria called Jane’s Bespoke Health, and Yoga Studio. I am doing my first yoga retreat this year with a small group of 5 in a remote part of Greece. If it’s a success, it’s something I would like to make a regular thing. I feel I have so many adventures yet to have for myself and my yogini clients. My business card reflects myself and my Father, the roots from him to me, growing and flourishing. My father used to practice Yoga and I feel connected spiritually to him through Yoga. This is even more poignant since he passed last year of vascular dementia, which is such an awful disease, and sadly he never knew I trained as a Yoga teacher.
