Origin Story

Hi, I’m Monika

Founder of Mindshift Mentor

Facilitator, Workshop Designer & Leadership Mentor & Coach

My superpower is connecting with empathy & leading with compassion to

Through my own experiences in navigating multiple transitions (identity, career, location to name a few) and cross-cultural work, I came to understand the intricacies of the human experience in times of change.

I guide individuals and businesses through transitions using industry-leading facilitation, coaching & mentoring models with a blend of left- and right-brain techniques, empowering clients with actionable plans and unwavering support. My interdisciplinary approach yields transformative results, leaving clients with a lasting sense of empowerment and growth.

With over a decade of experience in leading digital transformations for social impact organizations across Francophone Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, I am passionate about creating high-performing, engaged, and happy workplaces through leadership, coaching, mentoring, and well-being programs.

My career has been built on a foundation of fostering exceptional talent and building strong, collaborative teams, all with the goal of driving social impact-driven businesses and making a positive impact on society.
In reflecting on my leadership journey, I gained valuable insights into navigating change, building a lasting impact, and fostering empathy and compassion in new leaders.

My own own venture, Mindshift Mentor, stems from my personal transformation, a journey of subtle and mindful shifts that unfolded through a blend of coaching, mentoring, and embodiment work. This practice continues to be an integral part of my daily life, enabling me to create a safe and supportive space for clients embarking on similar journeys of self-discovery.

All of this work has reinforced my belief that change is not about radical leaps but about small, mindful steps and importance to acknowledge that discomfort can co-exist with ease and such polarities are merely opportunities for us to see life as a whole and cultivate acceptance – all of this leads to significant growth.

I’ve lived in expatriation for over 16 years in the UK, Switzerland, India, Francophone Africa and now split my time between sunny Barcelona and my beautiful homeland Lithuania.

I am currently studying non-linear movement (embodiment) with renowned practitioner Michaela Boehm. This modality offers a unique approach to optimising performance and well-being by directly addressing the nervous system. Through movement and somatic awareness, I’m cultivating:

  • Deeper self-regulation
  • Releasing stress patterns
  • Fostering a stronger mind-body connection

This translates to enhanced emotional intelligence, improved decision-making, and increased resilience in the face of challenges.
By integrating these learnings, I aim to create a more holistic and sustainable foundation for both personal and professional growth, ultimately benefiting myself and those I collaborate with.
