I'm 

Dijan
I am an empowerment coach, meditation instructor, business owner, yoga therapist, and creator of The Inner Contemplation Methodologies.

About Me

My life has been quite exciting from a very young age. I never really knew exactly what I wanted to do, but as long as I was having a good time and excelling at what was in front of me, I was happy.

A woman of Istanbul, I was born into a world with many opportunities; for men. I was still lucky to study at the top schools, learning several languages but only kept German and English, and earned 2 master's degrees in Conflict Analysis and Resolution and European Studies resulting in the most eclectic CV.

I traveled all over Europe as a youth activist - my connection to humanity, service, and the collective consciousness was strong from a young age, although I didn’t know how to put that into words. I was just following my heart.

This outlook worked for me until it didn`t.

There was a moment when I had everything perfectly successful on paper - the great job, house, car, partner, lifestyle…However, on the inside, I felt restless, burnt-out, and a big FOMO towards life as if there are greater things out there far beyond my reach.

I was simply fighting other people's battles and confused about what truly matters. To a level that it messed up with my physical health.

Three chapters into my Ph.D. thesis and gazillion job offers rolling in; I dropped everything to come closer to myself and essentially embody the learnings that I am sharing now. After more than a decade of studying yoga, meditation, ayurveda, and tantra I created Inner Contemplation Methodologies.

Now running my coaching brand all over the world and am a partner at a meditation center in Bali supporting hundreds of people on their path to evolution.

It brings me joy, satisfaction, pride, happiness, and purpose to take these teachings and share them with people from all over the world. To share the magic of my own successes so that they may ripple out into the world.

My approach is highly personal; we start our work with a very thorough conversation about you on many levels; physical wellness, emotional and mental qualities, fears and desires, and more.

Based on this conversation we work together with the tools that are suitable for you and your lifestyle to create a life `outside of the box`, full of wellness, wealth, and wisdom.

If what I shared has landed for you and you're feeling the ping of desire, book a call with me here.
