About Me
I’m Patrick Kozakiewicz, my parents escaped the Soviet Union and I was born in an American Refugee Camp in Germany🇩🇪, I grew up in California 🇺🇸 and am living in Poland 🇵🇱 currently.
​
My mindful journey started at the age of 10 🥷 from my parent's desire to have me become healthier, stronger and more focused. They decided to bring me into the Martial Arts🥋.
I studied International Relations 🌎 and Mastered in Political Science. I have worked at 3 Fortune 500 companies and have achieved many successes within them.
​
I am trained and certified to teach mindfulness through the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation where I am also an assistant teacher. And I am trained and certified to supervise by The Mindfulness Network.
My approach aims at being simple and easy to integrate into daily life, no matter how busy you are. I have helped tens of thousands of people from all backgrounds and skill levels. Join me today to start your transformation journey.
