My story

My name is Zofia, and my professional journey has always been deeply rooted in the startup and tech ecosystem. I’ve worked at the intersection of innovation, ambition, and problem-solving — most recently as Microsoft Germany Startup Business Lead, where I supported early-stage startups in scaling their products and teams. It was an exciting ride, but I also experienced firsthand how the relentless pace of the industry can lead to burnout, disconnection, and a constant feeling of "not enough."

Spending long hours behind screens, navigating high-pressure environments, and striving to exceed expectations became the norm — for me, and for many around me. That realization sparked a personal transformation. I began exploring mindfulness, yoga, and community-based practices as a way to reconnect with myself and create a more sustainable approach to work and life.

Now, I support individuals and teams in doing the same.

My approach blends movement, mindfulness, and science-backed methods to help people reset their nervous systems, strengthen mental resilience, and navigate complexity with clarity. My training spans yoga instruction (500-hour certified), bodywork (Thai Massage, Zenthai Shiatsu, Reiki), coaching (Systemic Business Coach), and mindfulness (MBSR, Positive Intelligence, Inner MBA)."

Whether I’m guiding a yoga class, coaching leaders, or facilitating workshops, I help people reconnect — with themselves and with others.

ManyWaysToBe was born from this belief: that success and well-being are not opposites. There is no one right way to thrive — there are many. And you get to choose yours.

My mission

To transform the way we work and live by integrating mind-body wisdom into everyday life. Through coaching, movement, and community, I guide individuals and organizations to create lasting change from within — building resilience, clarity, and authentic connection in our increasingly complex world.

My vision

I envision a world where technology empowers rather than overwhelms, where ambition is balanced with well-being, and where we stay deeply connected to ourselves, each other, and the natural world that sustains us. The world where success is measured not just by what we achieve, but by how sustainably and joyfully we achieve it.
