Hello, I’m Marijana – transformational guide, mentor, and healer. I’m the founder of the Self-Healing Academy. Born in Berlin with Croatian roots and based in Cologne, I left my corporate career over a decade ago to embark on my own transformational journey to follow what I trust most: intuition, truth, and the human capacity to heal and transform from the inside out.
I created the Self-Healing Academy because I’ve lived that healing is multi-dimensional — a remembering and a becoming across the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual layers of who we are. It reconnects us. It empowers us. Learning to trust ourselves changes how we show up. When one person returns to trust, it ripples into relationships, families, teams, and communities.
I guide self-leaders — people who are ready to release old stories, transform emotional blocks, and shift identity from the inside out. Some of my clients lead businesses and teams. Others are entrepreneurs, or lead in classrooms, kitchens, or communities. What they all share is their commitment to self-leadership: to meet themselves honestly and choose from trust.
I create powerful, high-integrity spaces where inner narratives can change at the root. My work is both clear and loving. I don’t heal you — you self-heal through conscious choice. My role is to hold the container and guide deep transformation: intuitive, grounded, and real – so you can come back into trust with yourself and your life.
As a passionate advocate for our self-healing abilities through conscious awareness and heart-centered connectedness, I offer profound transformation through guidance, impactful writing, and engaging speaking. My approach is summarized in my guiding mantra:
Reconnect. Feel. Heal. Transform.
My mission is to inspire one million self-leaders worldwide to release separation and return to their truest selves — and our shared humanity. I believe in humanity, and I’m deeply in love with the diversity of this world.
Outside of my work, I cherish deep connection, quiet reflection, and the practices that keep me grounded: movement in nature, running, and energy work. Healing and self-leadership aren’t something I only teach, they are practices and something I live.
