Hello lovely humans.
I’m Milica (feel free to call me Mel) and I’m from Sydney, Australia. I’ve spent the past decade counselling people from all walks of life, and hold a Bachelor of Psychology and a Masters of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I’m a Registered Psychologist and Mindset Coach.
My biggest passion in this life is to understand, learn and embrace its complexities and to help other women do the same. I practise what I preach, so the ideas I share within this space are things I am currently working on within myself or have already done so in the past.
Simply put, I work with women to help bring out their highest self – to whatever capacity they can be in that moment. I want to help you reclaim your power. I’m a straight shooter, wanting nothing more than to see you reach your ultimate divine. I’m here to walk alongside you as we do the work and move forward with your highest self.
The journey won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.

So how did I get here?
I grew up in the beautiful Montenegrin countryside. At the age of 12, my family and I moved to Australia in pursuit of a better life. My upbringing was humble, playful, full of imagination and love; even amongst the chaos of the nineties war that tore through the Balkans. Moments of my childhood saw the likes of bombings and financial hardship. It taught me the art of resilience and I’m thankful for everything life has blessed me with.
It was during my teen years that I decided to become a Psychologist. I had just arrived in a new country, with a new language, a new culture and new people. High school brought me a mixed bag of experiences – some to be cherished, and some that were character-building.
In 2021, my husband and I welcomed our beautiful daughter into the world. She has been my biggest teacher in this life so far, and in the best way possible. It has forced me to shed the ideals I learnt along the way and step into a better version of myself. I am learning to really reflect on my values, my why! I have realised that it’s not the things I explicitly teach my daughter that will have an impact but the essence of my being that will have the biggest effect – the way I live out my values, my mindset. Motherhood has been my biggest push to finally open the (virtual) doors to Soulful Wellness & Coaching. To my daughter, my biggest teacher, I am eternally thankful.
I’ve always been a deep thinker, and I absolutely LOVE digging within to understand myself and others around me.
I believe in being proactive rather than reactive. Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you respond to it. Just like how we go to the gym to build muscle, we need to do the same with our mind and soul.
Welcome to my world of soulful conversation.
With love,
Mel x
