When Wellbeing Becomes a Path of the Soul
Paola Larco on leaving a corporate career in Ecuador, building NUA Universal from Bratislava, and why coming back to yourself is a daily practice rather than a destination.
There are moments in life when we migrate, when we change, when we reinvent ourselves, or when we feel that something inside us has disconnected. Moments when something simply asks us to change. It is not the place. It is not the life. It is a calling, the calling to return.
From Bratislava, Paola, known as Kri, created NUA Universal: a space that does not teach, but remembers. A path where wellbeing stops being only physical and becomes an experience of deep reconnection with the soul.
NUA means renewal, but it also stands for something larger: the universal woman. The one who has no borders, no single language, no single definition. The one who chooses to feel herself, to inhabit herself, and to live in coherence with her own being and her own truth.
This space welcomes women from all over the world, women who feel the call to reconnect with their essence at new or different stages of their lives. To stop surviving and begin living from somewhere more authentic, more present, more alive. Here, you come only to be yourself.

My own story reflects this path. Not from perfection, but from transformation. Because when a woman rediscovers herself from within, her energy changes, her body responds, and her life begins to align with what her soul already knows.
After a solid career in the corporate world, I decided to listen to myself and reinvent my life outside my country, Ecuador. Today, as a transformational life coach working across holistic fitness, quantum healing, holistic therapies and sports nutrition, I walk alongside women as they move toward their next version.
NUA is not only a method. It is a living experience. Through programmes such as Holistic Training, Empowered Healing and Holistic Transformation Coaching, body, mind and soul are interconnected: conscious movement, ancestral knowledge, nutrition, meditation, quantum energy work and life coaching. All of it supports those who want to improve their wellbeing as a whole, and to live with more balance, health, clarity and purpose, in connection with natural and universal cycles.
At NUA we understand that we are not only a body, and that our existence is also subtle. The body does not need to be forced, it needs to be listened to. A body in balance is the reflection of a mind at rest. Thoughts speak the language of the mind, emotions speak the language of the body, and when we bring them together we open the space to hear the deepest language of all: that of the soul.
The women who arrive here are not only looking to change their bodies. They are looking to feel at home inside themselves. But the most transformative part is not the individual process. It is the collective one.
NUA is a community: a network of professionals who hold, accompany and honour each woman's path. In that space, every woman is supported to expand into what she feels she came here to be. There is no competing here. There is complementing. Remembering. Activating. Sharing. Spaces are created where the human and the divine are in dialogue, where science, technology and soul live together in unity and deep respect.
NUA is here to remind you that your vibration and your frequency are medicine. That when you choose yourself with love, everything changes. Returning to yourself is not a destination. It is a daily practice. It is the beginning of everything.
NUA is shared internationally and online, in different languages, integrating cultures and experiences. Part of Holistic Training is now practised in person at Zen Flow Studio, a beautiful wellbeing space that brings together yoga, pilates, meditation, sound therapy and conscious events.
From Slovakia, this project invites women to return to themselves, to recognise themselves, and to expand. Because when a woman transforms from the soul, her light inevitably reaches the world.
"Listen to your body, but above all your soul. Come back to yourself and rediscover your life and your purpose."
