About me

I generally work with busy, ambitious women who juggle careers, family, and society’s expectations and who are tired of the same endless cycle: restriction, loss of control, guilt, and starting over again.

I work online with clients from Romania and the diaspora, and in person in Brașov, in individual 1:1 programs, on topics such as:

emotional eating and managing emotions without food changing the relationship with food and the body at an identity level overcoming the restriction, loss of control, guilt cycle understanding the emotional triggers behind eating behaviors building sustainable eating habits without rigid rules reconnecting with the body’s natural signals: hunger, satiety, energy managing stress and fatigue without turning to food wellbeing programs for teams and organizations

If you want to work 1 on 1, write to contact@ralucaalecu.ro or on WhatsApp at +40744448060 and ask for details about how I work, or let’s talk for 5 minutes on the phone.

I am the founder of Komorebi Centre and of the ACCA Method, a proprietary method for transforming the relationship with food and emotions, based on Self-Awareness, Self-Compassion, Clarity and Conscious Action.

I also created the „Eat With Me” course, the only course in Romania where participants bring their own food and we eat together, exploring what mindful eating means: eating with attention, pleasure and presence.

Method

I work according to my own method: the ACCA Method: Self-Awareness, Self-Compassion, Clarity and Conscious Action.

No perfect plans on paper. No lists of forbidden and allowed foods. No another diet.

The ACCA Method starts from the belief that the relationship with food is not just about food. That is why I work on four directions simultaneously.

My way of working has been strongly influenced by coaching, strategic interventions and behavioral psychology. Over 20 years of active practice and continuous training, I have integrated tools from multiple disciplines, from cognitive-behavioral techniques and NLP to psychosensory techniques and behavioral assessment, and built from all of these a proprietary process, adapted to one single problem: the relationship between emotions, behavior and food.

I did not build this method from books. I built it from practice with real clients, in real situations, on a problem I lived through myself before I taught it.

Mental — Self-Awareness We restructure the beliefs that sabotage your progress. We adopt a growth mindset, replacing self-criticism with understanding and compassion toward yourself. You do not need more discipline. You need more clarity.

Emotional — Self-Compassion We work with the emotions that trigger your emotional eating. You learn to recognize stress, fatigue, anxiety or boredom before they reach the fridge. We build a healthy relationship with your emotions, without suppressing them and without letting them control you.

Behavioral — Clarity We build new behaviors that fit your real life, not an ideal scenario. We replace unhealthy habits with sustainable routines, adapted to your lifestyle and real values.

Physical — Conscious Action You learn to listen to and respect your body instead of forcing it. Reconnecting with the body’s natural signals: hunger, satiety, energy, without fighting it anymore.

For me, movement is not about burning calories. It is about energy and joy. A lifestyle focused on balance, health and longevity, not on perfectionism and forced control.

The ACCA Method is for you if…

• You are tired of the same cycle: diet, loss of control, guilt, starting over again
• You have tried everything and nothing works long term
• You want to change your relationship with food, emotions and your body at an identity level, not a meal plan level
• Your packed schedule prevents you from taking care of yourself
• You struggle with hard-to-control cravings or unconscious eating
• You have reached your desired weight, but not inner peace You live with the fear of returning to your initial weight
• You want real, sustainable solutions, not another diet
• You know what to do, the problem is not information. The problem is you cannot apply it alone, and this is where a real accountability process comes in

„Eat With Me”: a unique workshop in Romania

I created the „Eat With Me” course: a unique format where participants bring their own food and we eat together, exploring what it means to be present when you eat.

Nobody ever taught us this. We were told what to eat, how much, when, but never how to eat with attention, with pleasure, with presence.

Eat With Me changes exactly that.

Client Results

Ramona Ilie
Sales Specialist

I worked with Raluca on emotional eating and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself.

I changed my relationship with food, learned to manage my emotions without turning to food, and started noticing the behaviors and habits that were affecting my health and energy. For the first time, I feel balance.

I also lost weight, but the real gain is the relationship with myself and my body. Thank you for the process and for the clarity.

The sessions with Raluca were a wonderful experience. During the time we worked together in our 1 on 1 coaching sessions, she not only managed to accelerate my growth process, but also brought clarity to difficult topics in a very short time.

From my experience, the most valuable lessons I learned were to better identify and take care of my needs, to shape my goals and derive concrete actions to achieve them, and to find ways of doing things in harmony with my personality.

And all of this in a relaxed way that made the whole process feel easy, even when effort was needed to get the desired results.

Marius Adam Manole
Solution Architect

I recommend Raluca because she finally helped me understand the difference between compulsive eating and emotional eating. After our sessions, I managed to stop seeking refuge in food when stressed, and to manage my reactions much better.

I changed many bad habits, and the greatest gain, beyond the weight lost, is that I finally feel in control and have made peace with food. This is a result I had not achieved through any other method until now.

Anastasia Stefan
Events Marketing Specialist

I want to thank Raluca for all the lessons and the sense of clarity she gave me throughout our sessions. She helped me work in a focused way and create a strategy for the topics we discussed. With each session and the „homework,” I felt myself becoming more confident and in control of my emotions and decisions.

I highly recommend her, she will make a difference.

Alexandru Pescaru

I would like to thank Raluca Alecu for being a source of inspiration. After participating in her coaching sessions, I became aware of the improvements I can make both professionally and personally. Raluca guided me in discovering how I can become a better professional and how to achieve more in limited time. If you are looking for a professional coach, do not hesitate to contact Raluca. She is open, brings structure and clarity.

Marius Gabriel Rusu

Raluca is a coach with vast personal and professional experience. Beyond the many personal topics she was able to empathize with easily and discuss in my language, I felt she also helped me greatly through her experience as a trainer. What I mean is that, beyond being an extraordinary coach and consultant, she has a remarkable ability, which I needed, to adapt to the client’s language and experience, accelerating the process, as well as the courage to say things as they are, with kindness, compassion and support at the same time.
