Narratives Shape Experiences

Higher Narrative creates reflective spaces where you can define your beliefs, identity, and relationships from within — guided by your own values, not external expectations, authority figures, or cultural norms.

My Journey Behind

I began my professional path in engineering, drawn to systems, logic, and structure. But I was equally curious about the human side of things, so I studied sociology to better understand behavior and the social environments that shape us.

For almost a decade, I co-led a digital marketing agency, managing large-scale campaigns, building teams, and mentoring people along the way. While I gained deep insight into leadership and collaboration, a sense of disconnection began to grow. I felt called to explore the deeper forces that shape our inner and outer worlds.

The Birth of Higher Narrative

Higher Narrative began in the UK in 2011, sparked by a simple but powerful question: What if the stories we live by aren’t really ours?

That question followed me through eight transformative years in Istanbul, and later to Lisbon in 2023, where I deepened my studies in mindfulness, neuroscience, yoga, and trauma informed somatic practices. The more I learned, the more I understood: real transformation isn’t just about understanding the past. It’s about shifting perception, loosening the grip of limiting narratives, and realigning with who we truly are underneath it all.

What Higher Narrative Offers

Through Higher Narrative, I create reflective spaces that help individuals shift their perspective, reclaim their sense of self, and redefine their beliefs, identity, and relationships, based on inner truth, not outside noise.

This led to the development of Narrative Engineering Programs, an interdisciplinary approach that blends cognitive science, somatic intelligence, and narrative reprogramming. These programs are designed to help people re-author their inner world and create meaningful, lasting change in how they live, lead, and connect.

Where it all comes together

Through my own journey, I’ve come to deeply trust the transformative power of shifting perception, sharing our stories, and seeking grounded guidance during times of change. Our minds and bodies carry experiences in ways we don’t always see, shaping how we feel, choose, and respond to life. When we learn to reframe our inner narrative and allow emotional integration to take place, something opens. We begin to think more clearly, feel more freely, and relate more honestly, both with ourselves and the world around us.
