About Magali
A woman with a big heart and wild dreams. By nature I am very enthusiastic, passionate, energetic and optimistic. I see possibilities everywhere. I am determined to offer my contribution of light and love to the world by the activities I organize through Moving Magic.
I have had my share of life challenges, which helped me discover my greatest powers. What does not kill you, makes you stronger!
Combining that life experience with the knowledge and skills from several trainings [see list below] in yoga, creative therapy and body work I now coach people to find their way in life through self-empowerment and to become the strongest version of themselves!
How it went for me…
I struggled with eating disorders when I was young and as an adult, I got traumatized, I got depressed and lost all hope, I allowed people to cross my boundaries and allowed things I did not want to happen, I did not dare to speak up, I did not speak about what I felt or thought or wanted, I had panic attacks and nightmares, I struggled a lot with being a woman and having to deal with a cyclical nature, and sexuality was an even bigger taboo, and in the end I allowed others to convince me to try psychedelics as it would heal “all my wounds”, however, it left me with extra traumatic experiences…
I tried several different kinds of therapye, I travelled around the world, I spent long periods of time in buddhist monasteries, I took several different trainings in self-development, creative therapy, mindfulness, yoga, body work, self-defense, and I read probably more than a hundred books about self-help and personal growth. Yet in all these environments I did not find the answers I was looking for. I kept feeling lost and depressed. I missed the essence.
I thought others would know better than me, so I adapted myself and did as I was told, even though at times it felt wrong. I kept feeling lost… so I kept on looking, stubborn as I was, determined to NEVER GIVE UP!
That is how I discovered I could only be happy and satisfied once I had found the connection to my inner self. That way I could judge the advice and input from other people more accuratetely and make it my own. That was one of my biggest life lessons.
So, now I have both feet firmly on the ground. I know who I am and what I can, and cannot, offer. I support people to feel their bodies, to connect to their essence, in order to find the answers they need to feel better and to realize their goals and dreams. That is self-empowerment!
I have experience working with:
- eating disorders– anorexia, boulimia, binge eating, other kinds of eating disorders,
and also: self-image, staying true to yourself, self-respect, allowing yourself to speak up, non-violent communication, boundaries - processing your childhood – complex post-traumatic stress – c-ptsd:
and also: connecting to your inner child, finding safe way of expressing your deep feelings and emotions - processing shocking experiences and trauma, also sexual trauma,
and also: learning to trust your body again, taking back your own power, telling your story - borderline, dissociative symptoms and psychosis: how to deal with triggers, how to transform your vulnerability into a strong power, without or with a minimal dose of medication. It is possible!
- depression, panic attacks: what is the cause, how to deal with it, how to find faith, trust, inner peace, and joy.
- boundaries/ assertiveness,
and also: self-worth, self-confidence, self-respect, self-defense [basics], non-violent communication - struggles in being a woman: how to deal with your cycle and the complaints you have, the power of your female nature, developing and nourishing your femininity, embodying your female power and beauty, daring and allowing yourself to fully be a woman, surrendering AND setting clear boundaries.
- living in your head, having lost the connection to your body, having lost the ground under your feet.
