About

I am Mariann, a former fashion model, wellness advocate, yoga instructor, and health enthusiast with an international background and a passion for holistic well-being.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Tourism and Hotel Management, specializing in Events and Wellness, as well as a Master’s degree in Marketing. I began my career in the hospitality industry, working in various full-time roles before embarking on a successful international modeling career.

For more than a decade, I traveled extensively as a fashion model, living and working across Asia and Europe. These experiences allowed me to develop strong adaptability, cultural awareness, and a global perspective. Now based in the Netherlands, I work as a self-employed yoga instructor and digital marketer, combining my expertise in wellness, communication, and marketing.

Currently, I am focused on expanding my digital marketing activities within the self-care, yoga, mindfulness, and wellness sectors, helping brands and communities connect with audiences in meaningful and authentic ways.

I am fluent in Hungarian and English, have working proficiency in Italian, and possess elementary knowledge of Dutch.

In 2020, I built a wellness brand from the ground up. Today, it generates a consistent monthly income and continues to grow year after year.

The platform is an online yoga and mindfulness space designed specifically for mothers during pregnancy and the postpartum period. I created it to make expert guidance and support more accessible, as not everyone has a yoga studio nearby, and many studios do not offer specialized prenatal and postnatal classes.

By bringing these services online, I help women access high-quality yoga, mindfulness, and recovery programs from the comfort of their homes, often at a more affordable price than traditional studio memberships. It is incredibly rewarding to see the positive impact the platform has on mothers’ well-being, and I am excited to continue expanding and developing the brand in the years ahead.
