Helping You Rewire Your Mindset & Take Control of Your Future

What inspired me to create NeoMind180’s transformative coaching programs?

Is overthinking keeping you stuck?

If you find yourself trapped in analysis paralysis, second-guessing every decision, or feeling overwhelmed by mental clutter, you’re not alone. Many high-achievers struggle with overthinking, and that’s exactly why I created NeoMind180.

My Story

I started NeoMind180 with a simple but powerful mission: to help individuals harness the power of their thoughts and turn mental chaos into clarity.

Through years of research and practicing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming at Achology, I developed a coaching system designed to rewire thinking patterns and build mental resilience.

My personal journey

I lost my hearing when I was a toddler.

The impact of profound sensory-neural hearing loss led me into a silent world where only written words became a way of gaining control again. I became lost in a world of stories, getting the nickname 'Book Worm' from family and friends. It was a wonderful world where I expanded my mind and built my inner world.

Studying and academic success soon became keys to get approval from the adults and teachers in mainstream school, and also a survival tool, albeit at the cost of developing effective social skills in my peer circle.

In spite of tremendous academic success at my school years, my hearing loss became a roadblock in the way of getting tertiary education.

As a young adult I was more focused on my inner realities than what's going on around me. I was also bored with the status quo together with struggling to build meaningful relationships.

Inside me was a growing negative sensitivity to what people would say to me or do to me.

I thought I was not good enough to have good friends, and I struggled to relate to my peers in the hearing world. It seemed as if the bridge between me and others became cracked by the day. At the same time, I also struggled to relate to deaf people I encountered. I felt like I was stuck in the middle of two types of people with a bag full of flawed tools on my back. These thoughts lead to recurrent depression and stole years out of my life.

I resigned my job when I was pregnant with my first child at the age of 26, became stay-at-home mom. My children knew me as a mom who tackled a lot of activities to create interest and money income. From designing and making toddler clothing, to learning how to build and maintain computers, fixing Blackberries, doing video recordings and edits, and also web designs. All of them self-learned skills.

During my youngest daughter's high school years, I started to search for a cure for my recurrent depressive episodes. I wanted to break away from antidepressants (It anyway didn't work as promised), spiritual liberation sessions (never worked as promised), church counseling (short term wellness effect), and psychologist visits. I wanted to be free and responsible for my own emotional and mental well-being.

The first steppingstone to a more empowered way of living, was getting a left ear cochlear implant in September 2006, with a right ear implant in May 2012. I was set on a journey to develop hearing interpretation like never before. This is part of the things I am tremendously grateful for.

Another inspiration for empowerment was ignited through sessions with a psychologist after the loss of my second husband in 2013. He was a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and the following 5 years of regularly visiting him fueled my interest in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). There definitely was something effective here.

The Covid lockdown of 2020 led me to Udemy on search for more information on CBT. I was drawn to Kain Ramsay from Achology (The Academy of Modern Applied Psychology) and started the study courses provided by him. At the age of 54, I was committed to turn my life into the direction that pulled me since I was 18 years old.

Through these courses, I became aware about the lies I primarily believed:

  • ... that hearing loss makes me socially unacceptable or is at least something to be ashamed of.

  • ... that depression is either a brain illness, a genetic flaw, or a demonic spirit of depression.

  • ... that I should do all the hard work to meet society's expectations placed on me.

  • ... that I cannot be as good at communication and listening than people who have no hearing loss.

  • ... that I will never be good enough in comparison to the hearing community.

The truth that I now know, set me free to become more than I believed was possible.

What started as my personal journey became a specialized coaching practice helping professionals, entrepreneurs, and deep thinkers think smarter, make confident decisions, and take control of their future.
