Jasenka sought help from an extraordinary coach to recover from being a Bosnian refugee, escaping to Germany as a teenager, being denied asylum in Europe, and then immigrating to the U.S.A. In America, she enrolled in ESL to learn English while supporting her family. Embracing this second chance, Jasenka decided to turn her life into a success story and discovered that her story and pain could be a path to healing. After earning degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, Jasenka learned to use her experiences in the war to help clients overcome obstacles, compose their vision, create peace, and find fulfillment.
