Hello,
I am Merve Tüfekçi Emre; a healer, energy mentor, professional life coach and herbal farming consultant.
Throughout my education I kept deepening the same interest: how a person discovers their own potential and moves through inner change. My path started with NLP, life coaching, meditation, energy techniques, universal healing methods, dance, design and awareness work, and over the years it turned into a way of living rather than a set of subjects.
I was born in 1986 in Istanbul. After the Italian High School I studied Design and Business at Parsons The New School for Design, two years in Paris and two in New York, then completed a Master’s in Brand Management at Marangoni University in London. When I came back to Istanbul in 2011 I worked in the corporate communications, sales and marketing, customer services and financial affairs departments of Soyak Holding.
What I wanted was to be where I express myself best and do the work I love. Since 2015 I have been carrying on as a professional coach, personal development consultant, energy instructor and herbal farming practitioner.
Along the way I understood how much a life in tune with nature, and real, clean, organic food, matter for the work I do. I went deeper into organic farming and permaculture, and in 2017 I brought all of it together at Şifa Köyü in Şile, Istanbul. We grow with heirloom seeds here, and I give consultancy on permaculture and herbal farming.
I also paint healing art and design natural candles. Each candle is prepared with care, so that it brings a little calm and warmth into the room.
One of the most precious parts of my life is building a life full of love and awareness with my two children. Becoming a mother gave me the chance to discover life, and what it means to be human, all over again.
Sharing what I learn on my own journey, and walking beside people while they find their own light, feels like my purpose. I believe every person carries the power to shape their own path, and I am glad to be there while they do.

What is a healer?
A healer is someone who makes room for a person to remember the light, the strength and the wholeness within.
A healer supports a person on the way to physical, emotional or spiritual wellbeing.
The word literally means “one who gives healing”; yet a healer does not “cure” anyone directly. A healer guides people to remember and set in motion their own inner capacity for healing.
Healing work does not replace medical treatment; it supports a person’s wellbeing through complementary practices such as energy work, meditation, breathwork, art and awareness.
