Dejan
Patic

Co-Founder,certified life coach, reiki master
Surf enthusiast

My journey began in medicine, where I spent seven years challenging the belief that healing can be measured in prescriptions. This belief led me to leave western medicine, explore energy and spirit, eventually immersing myself in Tibetan Buddhist meditation and becoming a Reiki Master. Photography became my outer journey, capturing the essence of human existence across four continents. What once felt like scattered puzzle pieces—medicine, meditation, Reiki, and photography—revealed themselves as interconnected steps on my lifelong pursuit to understand what it means to be human. Surfing, which entered my life unexpectedly, became a teacher, revealing lessons in surrender, resilience, self-discovery and healing. Today, as a Certified Life Coach, I help others navigate their own unique journeys of healing, connection, and growth.

I believe life is meant to be lived fully—vibrantly, freely, and with a deep love for the journey. Each of us carries a unique blend of gifts, and I see my role as a coach in helping you recognise and embrace it. Drawing from my eclectic experience across different cultures and walks of life, I weave in  expertise in leadership development, coaching and somatic work to help you rediscover the joy of growth and transformation, whether in your personal life, career, or leadership.
