Alneja Gašpar Horvat Finally Saying What Women Have Felt for Years Alneja Gašpar Horvat Finally Saying What Women Have Felt for Years In an era when women are expected to thrive simultaneously as partners, mothers, leaders, and creators, Alneja Gašpar Horvat expands the conversation beyond productivity and into healing. Her work reaches beyond the visible layers of fertility and family planning and into the deeper realms of generational memory, emotional inheritance, and subconscious patterns that shape a woman’s experience long before she enters motherhood. She speaks from embodied transformation rather than theory, offering a space where women are no longer asked to choose between ambition and identity, or between motherhood and selfhood—but are guided to honor all parts of themselves without collapse, sacrifice, or silence. Alneja Gašpar Horvat is a Transformational Mentor for modern women navigating life’s crucial transitions—from finding love and creating a family to unlocking fertility, becoming a conscious parent, and balancing family with business without losing themselves amidst the many roles and obligations women often carry. She is the author of the “Unlock Your Fertility” program, created from her personal success story, and uses her signature Butterfly Technique to help women and couples overcome fertility blocks, heal core wounds, and become the parents they always wished for but never had. As a Fertility & Mama Coach, she supports clients through miscarriage, failed IVF, and other fertility challenges, walking with them every step of the way—from conception and pregnancy to birth, motherhood, and beyond—guiding them through the challenges that arise in love, life, and work once children arrive.

Yevheniya Shalimova's path to executive coaching began far from the boardroom. She was born in the former Soviet Union to parents who both served in the military and moved with her family to Ukraine in 1987. She began travelling internationally in 1995 and studied at several Bible schools in the United Kingdom. From 1995 to 1998, she served as personal assistant to the chairman of an international Christian organisation, travelling across Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan and Israel. Her responsibilities included translating shipping contracts for 10-11 annual sailings between Ukraine and Israel, each valued at approximately USD 100,000. She was later ordained as a pastor and served as a military chaplain in Ukraine from 2013 to 2015. More than 30 years in Christian ministry shaped her capacity to remain present with people under pressure and to honour the whole person behind a role or responsibility. In 2019, Yevheniya began her professional path in coaching. When the war entered its full-scale phase in 2022, she relocated to Norway and rebuilt her life and professional path from the ground up - learning Norwegian, finding work, caring for her daughter, continuing to coach and study, and developing The Shalimova Method™. Today, she is an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), executive coach and founder of The Shalimova Method™. She has delivered more than 2,300 coaching hours to clients across 35 countries and coaches in English, Norwegian, Ukrainian and Russian. Her continuing education includes programmes in resilience, mental health, well-being and leadership offered by Harvard and Yale. She led the end-to-end Russian-language publication of two books - from publisher negotiations and translation to editorial production, launch presentations and international distribution. Operation Exodus was subsequently distributed across 22 countries on five continents. She partners with accomplished leaders to close the gap between outward success and inner fulfilment.

Atul Kumar Mehra is an Author, International Speaker and Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, Canada. He participated in panel discussions with Dr. John Gray, spoken at an international event headlined by Dr. Deepak Chopra and a guest speaker on hundreds of TV & Radio shows. He published his International Best Selling book on Amazon, "The Unseen Wisdom of the Unborn," and the second one is under editing "The Need for Disease." He is currently working on two others, "Addiction is Survival and not Guilt" and "My Unconscious Self," to share his experience and wisdom from more than 20 years of working with the unconscious mind. Since childhood, he was intrigued by the mind's power, which led him to start meditating at the age of four years with guidance from his father. From that age, his dream was to connect with the Source, which was finally realized when he accessed and experienced the deepest human conscious form as sperm consciousness.
