Marcela – senior buyer
“I am very happy, that I got the opportunity to meet Ondra and their great coaching centre Aumakua. It’s amazing, that there are people like Ondra and Dan, who want to help people improve their lives. Sometimes people get lost on their life journey and I was one of them, Ondra stopped me and pointed me in the right direction to go. He has made me appreciate myself and look inside myself. I am very grateful to him for everything and I owe him a big THANK YOU!”
Lenka – Junior marketing specialist
“Two years ago I started going to Auma for coaching with Dan. 🙂 In retrospective, I dare to say that our work together really changed my life for the best.
How do I even get started? In Auma you will find a very personal approach to work on yourself.
The space is absolutely beautiful. I always feel time stop every time and feel a very positive and calm energy. 🍃
As I wrote earlier, the approach at Auma is very personal – so my opinion only includes my experience with Dan!
Dan is the most understanding and calm person I know. We have time for each other, a willingness to work together and a great respect. I share my fears, dreams and opinions with him. He shares his perspective and wisdom with me – always with empathy. Most of all, Dan has taught me how to listen to myself, how to observe, and how to talk to myself.. 🙂
Words can hardly describe how much I feel I have shifted since our first session. I 100% recommend all people, who want to work on themselves and are ready for a big transformation, to find their way to Aumakua.”
Héloïse Enjalbal
Aumakua is indescribable. Aumakua must be experienced and lived. A place, where one becomes present and connected to oneself.
Thanks to Aumakua I met great people and had a coaching session with one of the founders – Ondra Halama. I am still grateful for that. Ondra can empathize with people and together with them discover where “the buried dog” is.
In Aumakua they regularly organize other events. I have had a great experience with holotropic breathing, which I want to return to on a regular basis, or yoga. Thanks for this space and what you create together as a team!
Andrea Dlabolova
The place has an incredible energy.
Thanks to Aumakue and especially the coaching with Ondra I learned to be with myself, I changed my view of the world and thanks to that things are happening to me that I only dreamed of before. 🙏🏻🍀
Kateřina Vondráková
Starting to work on yourself in Aumakua is like landing on a new planet. It is a beautiful place, full of humbleness, knowledge, depth and a good heart. Thank you guys and I look forward to the experiences.
David Bohm
Amazing place and amazing people. Thanks to them one comes back to oneself. Whether you are interested in Yoga with Teresa, coaching, therapy or breathwork with Dan or Ondra or a weekend retreat, where you can get to know them all, you will definitely find exactly, what you need.
Thank you for the second such retreat and look forward to seeing more of the wonderful and inspiring people of Aumakua 🙂
Marek Urban
Aumakua showed me, how to look at different life situations, whether professional or personal, in a different way, than we usually do.
These few meetings helped me to see differently not only these particular situations, but also myself and to think about, what I often give a lot of attention to, that is not worth it at all…and to focus on things, that are really important.
And also that sometimes we have to face it all..
For me, it was such a trip into my soul 🙂
Andrej Benčok
“Through his questions and listening, Dan has led me to better filter the things that are happening in and around me. Now I only deal with things, that are really important to me and that I can do something about. I have started a journal of the coaching process, that I return to, when I don’t know how to proceed. I already know, who I am and I’m not going to let that take away from me. I am still learning to accept things as they are, but I feel I am shifting. And for that, Dan, thank you!”
Adéla – project manager
“Ondra came into my life, when I was going through the most challenging period of my life so far. During this period, which lasted about 6 months and I was struggling with panic disorder, he was a great support and partner. I am extremely happy to have met Ondra and especially incredibly grateful for his open human approach and help. I highly recommend Ondra to anyone who is going through a more difficult time or simply wants a change. Thanks again!”
Marek – Business Development Manager
Through meeting Mark, I had the opportunity to realize again, how much energy stays within us, ready to bring change, healing and transformation in our lives to new levels, that we don’t even know about, even when we think, we are at our lowest. Each encounter has its own unique power and lineage, that heals and helps us get out of the place, where we are spinning in circles and somehow perceiving, what is not working for us, our body, our mind, our life.
Mark’s line was a clear vision and feeling of the life he wanted to live.
So strong, that he could see it through the thick screen of panic attacks.
Through clear vision, determination, honest work on himself and the courage to repeatedly step into challenging situations, he fulfilled and continues to fulfill his life, his dream, previously obscured by a wall.
And the panic attacks? Occasionally they knock on the door, as a reminder to ask the question: “Am I still living the life I want?”….
Thanks for that!
“Ondra helped me to learn how not to follow the beaten path in life, but to stop, find myself and forge my own path. The coaching process was very natural. Ondra opened up topics, that until then I thought were a given and unchangeable. He asked questions, recommended literature, gave homework until we came to a result, that I could consider my own product. Ondra acted only as a kind of guide, and that’s how I think it should work in proper coaching. Thanks, Ondra!”
Tereza – buyer
As it happens, Dan came into my life just when I needed him the most. They say what happens to a man, is what he needs. Not what he wants. I made that need into what I want. I wanted to change the patterns I was following without even realizing it. I was unhappy, “blaming” others for my unhappiness and looking for what was wrong with them. Dan brought me back to myself. To me inside. He taught me to look at myself and the world with my heart, with love. He let me figure out, how to work with fear and how to embrace it. How to listen to my body and how to not be influenced by my surroundings and be within myself. That it’s up to me, what my life looks like and what energy I use to make it happen. The work doesn’t end with my meeting with Dan. It begins. I owe Dan for letting me work with myself. He didn’t set the patterns, I set the patterns for myself. He was my listener and taught me to be my own teacher. I thank him for being there for me, for still being there, and most importantly, for being the way he is. Exactly the way I needed him to be. My mirror.
Dan, thank you.
Lenka – mom & head of merch
I personally have been working with Dan for a long time. Together with other colleagues we took a trip to the village under the guidance of the Aumakua guys, where we were living Aumakua style for 3 days. On the trip itself we experienced meditations, talks and sports. It was very interesting to experience states of exhaustion on all levels, while mastering simple recovery through turning concentration.
For example, after a long hard topic to solve for 3 hours and a mental black out, we went running, river wading and cherry picking, 2 hours later we were crawling with our tongue on our vest, but our head was running wild for the next 2 hours. In the evening came the calming of meditation and all the day’s experiences settled down, the body calmed down and could regenerate…

Co-owner of Dudes & Barbies (Vnitroblock & Cafe looking for a name)
A place, where one feels at home. 🙂 Individual meetings with Dan positively influence all aspects of my life. Dan has quickly gained my complete trust, which continues to deepen, and his capacity for empathy combined with his sharp mind never stop surprising me. Working with him is the best way for me to process patterns of behavior and to get to know myself.
I also come here regularly for yoga with Terka Berounska and other events, which are always enriched with delicious coffee and tea and last but not least, a chat with people who have their heart in the right place 🙂
Alena Strouhalova
Individual couching with Ondra was a very important step for me on the way to the depths of my soul. It was great to set a plan of what to do according to my own possibilities. They didn’t just stop with the talking and the plan, but I also gained a person, who reached out over the next few months to ask, how things were going. So everything came to fruition and I was able to move on to where I needed to go, to independence and the ability to rely on myself.
Karolína Vohradníková
I started coming to Aumaka at a time, when I was dealing with a difficult life situation. Today I consider this center – and especially its therapists – as a part of my life for which I am very grateful. Kind of like when you like to go to the sauna regularly, for a beer with friends…
Jaroslav Sefc
A place with a Soul. The energy of this space will help you stop for a moment and enjoy a great cup of tea, coffee, friends or just yourself.
Pavlína Bínová
I wholeheartedly recommend the Aumakua centre! I have worked closely with Dan and I appreciate especially his ability to always know exactly, what a person needs. I also felt, that I always had his full attention. Therapy with Dan is incredibly therapeutic! Yoga with Terezka is always unique and deep. I also experienced women’s circles with her, which I hope will come back soon, they always taught me a lot about myself. I am going to the Auma retreat with my husband for the second time and I think it will not be the last time. I really appreciate the whole Auma team and what they bring to their community!❤️
Adéla Tremčinská
It is a very nice place. I will be happy to come back here, when I am in Běchovice again.
Věra Musilová
We care about results
I go to Auma for individual consultations with Dan. It’s hard to sum up my opinion and feelings in a few words. I would compare my experience to a sandstorm, in which someone lends you a helping hand. I often felt like I was in a storm at the beginning of this Journey, alone, in despair, in panic. Dan offered me a helping hand, helping me to understand my sandstorm, to find stability in it, to find solid ground under my feet. I am given non-judgmental acceptance and support to restore my confidence in myself, my strength.
I have gotten to know the whole Auma team in our meetings together and I rate the rest of the team very positively as well.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it all. I wish Aumaue, Dan, Terka and Ondra much strength on their Journeys.
