After nearly 10 years of labor, it was finally born.
Burst of Life
The Art of Arrival
This book contains what I believe you need most when giving birth, whether you are giving birth to a child, a project, or yourself for the umpteenth time. I invite you on a journey of self-reflection, at the end of which you will await yourself in the purity with which you can connect with yourself…

I am an artist.
I originally graduated as a designer. Then life swept me away, and I ended up in the delivery room for the second time after my birth, this time as a mother. In the process of bringing my little boy into the world, something changed in me forever. I was enchanted by the power that comes to women during childbirth, mesmerized by the smell of the baby, and addicted to the hormone of love, the oxytocin. At the same time, I realized that in many perspectives what happened to me me was not quite right. It is not right that, as a mother, I have to adapt to a protocol written by others. Everyone deserves a clean slate at birth, because with the arrival of a baby, a mother and a family are also born.
This feeling led me to my doula work. I took part in countless training courses, each of which gave me something I can use every day. I have accompanied more than 260 births, and thousands of birth classes.
I believe that pain, trauma, and life events can be integrated into one’s personality, that their message can be found and that they can be used for growth, even if it is sometimes painful, but ups and downs are part of life and part of the process. With humility, attention, and gentle kindness, even the most difficult contractions can be tamed, and with their help, we can rise to a higher level. On this path, I can help those who turn to me, regardless of age or gender.
In 15 years, I have held 107 training courses and shown 1072 women and men a direction. The support that I myself believe in. I have held training courses in 17 cities across Europe in Hungarian, English, and Romanian. As my children grew up, I became interested in the world beyond childbirth. The dynamics of life, development, the harmony of soul, body, and spirit. I have always been a proponent of a global perspective, striving to live a life of active love.
Ten years ago, I expanded my training to the business world, where I began to hold training sessions on communication, cooperation, mindset change, and attitude formation, and became a professional coach. I do have retreats for women in different places of the world, helping in the crossing the hard times of our life-circles.
This book was written to hold up a mirror to you, Dear Reader, in which you can examine your own inner births. It started out as a guide to childbirth, but ultimately became a guide to life, since birth carries the seed of life and is the root of every change, every project, every task. This book supports self-knowledge, reflection, and confrontation, giving you the opportunity to experience and observe existence beyond your own shell.
In the cycle of life, everything is born, built up, reaches completion, breaks down, and is reclassified. This is a fact. Just as humans create their comfort zone, or shell, in which they function easily, they lose their footing when this shell cracks. Be brave and let it happen.
