Hi! I’m Adina.
Originally from Romania, I’m now based in Ireland, where I enjoy exploring its climbing spots and being part of a growing community that shares my passion.
My journey didn’t start with coaching – it began in tech, where high-stakes incident management taught me about performing under pressure. Early on, I chased success hard, often teetering on burnout, only discovering the science of flow much later. I battled impostor syndrome, perfectionism and self-limiting beliefs. I sought support from peers, coaches, and therapists and found a real purpose in helping others navigate these same challenges, smoothing their paths wherever I could.
I’m a certified Flow Coach, climber, and lover of all things mindset and learning.
When climbing entered my life, it quickly became more than just a sport. Climbing not only revealed my fears—of failing, injury, and judgment—but it also allowed me to confront them.
At first, I tried to out-train those fears, thinking if I could just get “strong enough” or have more experience, they’d disappear. This led to a series of injuries that tested my commitment and changed my relationship with climbing.
Finding flow was what kept me going: those rare times when everything clicked, my inner critic went silent, and I climbed freely, often better than I thought possible.
I began to see that the proven mindset tools I applied in climbing didn’t just belong on the wall—they helped me redefine my limits in my career, relationships, and beyond.
This became the foundation of my coaching practice: the belief that with the right support, climbers—whether recreational or elite—can achieve what once felt out of reach. Coaching is not about telling you what to do; it’s about partnering with you to uncover your strengths, develop self-leadership, and climb with more confidence and joy. My role is to meet you where you are, supporting your growth, resilience, and authentic self-expression every step of the way.
You’re not alone in this, and you’re not limited by where you are now. Together, we’ll work towards the version of you that trusts the process, thrives in challenge, and embraces the possibilities ahead.
