Although she originally trained as a Hungarian–English teacher, she discovered her true calling in the health sector, to which she has been committed for many years.

Since 2007, Zsófi has worked on the client relations side of healthcare, gaining extensive experience in working with healthcare professionals, professionally supporting patients, and communicating effectively with them. Over these 17 challenging and rewarding years, her motivation to help others improve their wellbeing has remained strong.

She aims to support every client in creating a sustainable, personalised lifestyle that fits their current life situation while promoting physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

To further develop her professional skills, Zsófi completed training at Freestyle Consulting Ltd., where she obtained an accredited Health Coach qualification.

Based on her experience, each stage of life presents different challenges. Habits that work well in early adulthood may not necessarily serve us later on. Health coaching helps people recognise these changes and guides them step by step towards a more balanced lifestyle.

During coaching sessions, Zsófi works together with her clients to explore opportunities, set realistic goals and develop practical solutions that can easily be integrated into everyday life. This approach supports sustainable lifestyle changes tailored to individual needs – whether the focus is exercise, nutrition, stress management, or finding more time for oneself.

She believes that a healthy life is not achieved through one big leap, but through a series of small, consistent steps.

Those who feel stuck and would like to improve one or more areas of their life are welcome to book a free initial consultation, where goals and possible next steps can be discussed together.

Additional services available:
• Training together in the gym
• Personalised guidance during grocery shopping

1. Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Slovakia as part of the Hungarian minority community in a tiny village. I was fortunate to attend Hungarian-language schools, even though the official language in Slovakia is Slovak. Studying in my mother tongue meant a great deal to me. Interestingly, I only really learned to speak Slovak properly when I went to university in Bratislava (Pozsony) to study Hungarian language and literature. During those years I gave private English lessons and eventually became confident enough to teach Slovak students as well, not only Hungarians.

2. If you could be an expat anywhere in the world, where would you choose?

The Italian countryside, ideally with an Italian nonna preparing all my meals. I love the freshness of Italian food, the flavours, and I am completely in love with the Italian language. I studied and worked in Italy for a few months, and the experience greatly improved my Italian, which I had started learning at university. My teacher was Slovak, so even today I sometimes automatically translate certain words between Italian and Slovak.

3. What would you miss most if you moved away from Hungary?

My family and my friends. Being part of a minority often means feeling like an outsider: in Slovakia I am Hungarian, and in Hungary I am Slovak. For me, home is wherever my family and friends are.

4. Friends are visiting Budapest for a weekend — what must they absolutely see and do?

I may be biased because I live right next to it, but I would highly recommend Városliget. I take my power walks there, and every time I discover something new and beautiful. Vajdahunyad Castle is simply mesmerizing — it looks as if it has been lifted straight out of a fairy tale.

5. What is your favourite sport or form of exercise?

I love training — it relaxes me and refreshes my mind. Depending on my mood and how much time I have, I do Reformer Pilates, Pilates, power walking, or weight training.

6. What is your favourite place in Hungary?

I would say I am more attached to people than to places. As someone who has often felt like an outsider, I tend to adapt quickly wherever I live. When I moved to London after graduating, settling in felt surprisingly easy. Moving to Budapest in 2016, after 11 years in London, was actually more challenging. I had spent most of my adult life there, and suddenly being surrounded by Hungarian speakers all the time — yet not knowing how things worked in Budapest — felt strange. I even struggled with the metro system at first, despite navigating the London Underground for years without any difficulty.

7. What career other than yours would you love to pursue?

I would love to run a gym or a wellness centre where people could come to recharge. That said, I truly enjoy looking after “my” patients and guiding them through their healthcare journey. Even when someone is relatively healthy, it is reassuring to have someone helping manage appointments and referrals.

8. What did you want to become as a child?

I actually invented a profession: I wanted to be a nurse for dogs — not a veterinary assistant, but specifically a nurse for dogs. We had a beautiful and very clever German Shepherd called Cézár, and I adored him. I suspect that is where the idea came from.

9. Where did you spend your last vacation?

Skiing in Andorra, which was wonderful. I hadn’t skied for almost eight years, but I decided this winter was the time to try again. Thankfully, I passed the challenge — and didn’t break any bones.

10. Where do you hope to spend your next vacation?

Wherever life takes me, although I strongly prefer warm to hot climates — so most likely somewhere sunny.

11. What was your favourite band, film, or hobby as a teen?

I was probably a rather boring teenager because I spent most of my time reading. The village where I grew up was very small, so opportunities for socialising were limited both geographically and, unfortunately, linguistically as well.

12. Apart from temptation, what can’t you resist?

Chocolate! I try to follow a healthy diet, but chocolate is my weakness. The only exception is white chocolate — I simply cannot accept the idea of chocolate being white.

13. Red wine or white?

It depends on the meal and the weather — but nothing beats a good cava.

14. Book or movie?

Usually a book. Films based on novels rarely live up to the original.

15. Morning person or night person?

Definitely a morning person. I love exercising early and getting things done first thing in the day. The downside is that I get tired earlier as the day goes on. I’m also not a winter person — from November onwards I start my “Spring Countdown,” counting the months until spring arrives.

16. Which social issue do you feel most strongly about?

The abuse of vulnerable people in any form, anywhere in the world.

17. Buda or Pest?

Definitely Pest. I don’t think Buda was designed for cars — the roads are so narrow. Don’t get me wrong, it is beautiful, but Pest feels more practical to me, and the architecture on Andrássy Avenue is breathtaking.

18. Which achievement in your life are you most proud of?

No matter how many times I have hit rock bottom, I have always managed to get back up and move forward.

19. What is your personal motto?

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou
