Hi, I'm Basak.
Hi, I’m Başak, but you can call me Bella. I chose this name to bring a touch of beauty into my life and because it’s easier for others to say. My journey is all about transformation—after 11 years in finance, I took a leap of faith to pursue my true passion: helping others heal.
From overcoming psoriasis to becoming a certified Functional Medicine Health Coach and Yoga instructor, my life is a blend of growth, learning, and healing. But this is just the beginning. If you’re curious about how I can help you take control of your health, let’s explore the possibilities together.

My Story
Some time ago, I decided to change the course of my life, and I began taking steps towards that change, and I continue to do so. One of my strongest traits is my love for learning. It’s probably thanks to this that I found the courage to change my 11-year career. I used to be an independent auditor and financial advisor. I returned my license, which I once obtained with great enthusiasm, without hesitation.
When I realized that something wasn’t right, I started reading extensively. I read books and attended countless workshops. As I developed myself and, most importantly, saw how I could heal, I wanted to help others too. After a long period of questioning my life purpose, I finally decided that I had found it. And that purpose was to help others.
The birth of my beloved son played a huge role in this beautiful transformation. Everything actually started after he came into this world. The places where I got stuck, the challenges I faced, and approaching these with open awareness, along with the love and desire to learn inside me, helped me start a new story.
The first training I want to mention is the one I received from the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, where I became a Functional Medicine Health Coach after a year. The reason I joined this program was because psoriasis covered my entire body, and I found a solution through functional medicine doctors and a functional perspective. With psoriasis, using a cream will make it go away, but when you stop using the cream, it comes back. For years, I lived with psoriasis on my scalp and elbows. After contracting hand, foot, and mouth disease, psoriasis covered my entire body, and I realized that conventional treatments alone would not be enough. After a beautiful and healing process, most of my psoriasis healed. This experience made me want to help others as well.
To overcome high anxiety and stress, I decided to pursue Yoga and Meditation training after extensive research, and I completed 200 hours of yoga training, becoming a yoga instructor and a meditation facilitator.
I also completed the Professional and Advanced training at Mind-Body Medicine, gaining practical experience and knowledge on healing traumas. My most recent training was in Behavioral Science at Seneca College. I believe that studying behavior has been an incredibly valuable achievement for me.
In my own journey, I realized that healthy eating and physical activity are very important, but psychology has contributed the most to me and requires the most effort. That’s why, as a step towards studying psychology, I began by studying Behavioral Science. All the training I’ve received complements and supports each other.
I am currently continuing with another 200-hour yoga training. And I hope my learning journey never ends; I have dreams of continuing over time, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds.
