Meet Life Coach Monika Maria Puiu:

Name: Monika Maria Puiu

Pillar: The Spirit, The Mind

Who is this coach for: Anyone who wants to understand the wisdom of their emotions, heal energetically and find their inner calling so they can achieve the best expression of their soul.

How they can help: By using various shamanic instruments, her heart, intuition, hands and energy.

First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?

The pandemic has affected to a large extend the business of my husband, as transportation in any form has changed.

It has affected my work because many more people woke up to their need for personal development.

They also started to look for healing and cures in alternative healing methods.

Our children have continued their studies and live in the ‘new world’ with ease.

How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

Many people encountered situations they had never faced before, finding themselves in a state of shock, fear, and anxiety.

Medicine repairs the body, while shamanic or energetic practices work with the soul.

Together, they bring new energy and life to both the body and soul.

More people are now willing to combine both practices because the impact of the pandemic was much more than just an illness.

These changes have affected my work by making online sessions more acceptable, with energy flowing just as effectively online as in person.

However, when teaching a process, I prefer offline sessions because students need to learn to work with energies before they can detect and see the flow without being in direct contact with the client.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

A lesson I am most grateful for is that I realized I must make up my own mind, trust my gut feeling more than many so called “experts”, and find my own balance and peace within myself.

I learned to use online services, which allowed me to speak to my family in Austria more often than before.

I came out of the pandemic healthier, stronger, and more focused than ever before.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with this work?

I have studied astrology all my life and have been learning energy work and shamanic practices for the last 40 years, all for my personal growth.

After my retirement in 2018, I opened a holistic healing center for my own work and for holistic therapists and individuals who offer holistic workshops and trainings.

I attended a highly regarded coaching school that provided me with useful tools to help people who struggle to shift from their thinking mode to their feeling mode.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

From a very early age, it was clear to me that I would have to fend for myself.

I have very loving parents with limited financial means, and I was always certain that I would not get married.

That perspective changed at some point, but by then I had already built a career in international business, and my biggest obstacle was overcome.

Throughout life, you will certainly face more than one obstacle, but if you ask about my biggest one, this was it.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

I ask them how they feel, where they feel it in their body, what emotion is connected to this state of being, and what they tell themselves as a result of their emotional state.

The answers provide me with the insight and information I need to work with them and help them respond to their difficulties in a different way.

More often than not, this approach already serves as a good way out of overwhelming challenges.

Shamanic and energetic practices restore balance where the client has lost it and help clear heavy energies.

Clarity and equilibrium provide a strong foundation for a new way of being and seeing things.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

I mainly work with the body and the emotional state of the client, without physical touch.

For me, it is important to see the whole person, as problems in the family can influence one’s career, and issues at work can impact family life.

Many people become so proficient in one occupation that they struggle to separate from the role they play in the family or company.

For me, the whole person matters, and it often helps to look at the astrological chart, as it reveals key traits that can enhance an occupation or facilitate a change that meets significant resistance.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

Usually, they gain the clarity to see further ahead or find a light at the end of the tunnel.

It is not my guidance, but I can offer a new perspective and the feeling of being able to take action where there was previously an inability to accept a situation in a certain way.

My aim is to help people find their own inner calling and the strength to walk that path.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

I have a good set of shamanic instruments that I work with, and I love them all.

When I have nothing with me, I use my heart, the soles of my feet, and my hands.

That is all I need.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

Listen to your body!

Learn to listen to your body!

Follow your heart, it never lies.

Your mind plays many tricks, but your body will never lie to you.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

Not to worry!

I learned this late in my life, when I realized that worrying is the most useless occupation we could have.

It involves anticipating a bad outcome from a situation that hasn’t even happened yet.

Still, so many people do it, and I am still very close to that sensation.

Not worrying about what you cannot change or influence gives you the power to deal with matters at hand and solve what you can truly influence.

Your final thoughts?

In the Western world, we’ve become so accustomed to thinking, and our brain is often seen as the most important instrument we have, while it is actually our body and heart that are far more important.

I love to walk the Andes, the sacred mountains of Peru, work with the healers there, take plant medicine, commune with plants, and learn from the land wherever I am.

For most people, this is totally nuts and puts me in the corner of a witch or an outcast.

I live in the middle of the city, enjoy my family, including our cat, and a good shopping tour.

My world is in the now, and I love my life fully, being grateful for everything I’ve been told, for every time I said ‘yes’ to something out of the box or even weird.

I am at the right place at the right time, and it is a most exciting time we live in.

Thank you, universe, for all my days, the good ones and the bad ones.
