My Story
I grew up living the city life of the Western world. Early on I became disconnected from my true self through various experiences throughout my childhood and by trying to fit into a world that felt empty to me. Like so many, I denied who I really was to survive. Abandoning my true self in this way led to the development of strong coping mechanisms before I was ten years old.
Cycles of self-abuse, guilt and shame dominated my life as my coping mechanisms and addictions intensified: alcohol abuse, eating disorders, overexercising, and more. I saw myself as a victim of my health and life challenges until I realized: I was missing something, which could only be found within.
In 2016 I turned my life around and focused on discovering my true self instead of seeking outside validation, and began shedding layers of societal programming. I learned to accept and love myself just as I was and developed a profoundly loving relationship with my body and heart.
Turning my consciousness inwards led to an awakening experience; for several months I could feel my heart radiate far beyond my chest, and for the first time I felt like I was truly living. My body, which I had been abusing up to this point, became my greatest ally and and my addictions, coping mechanisms, and health challenges all disappeared naturally.
In this process of self-healing, I healed wounds and traumas, forgave myself and others, accepted my past fully, found pleasure in living a healthy lifestyle, embraced my passions, and connected with myself in a loving way. As a result I felt true peace and joy which I didn’t know was even possible before.
Although something deep in me has changed forever - my life has not been perfect ever since. Having an awakening experience can valuable and quite magical when it happens at an accelerated rate. But what’s more important is consistency - learning to love ourselves in the day to day and continuing to respond to and learn from challenges as they arise.
Everyone’s journey is unique and I invite you to find the beauty and magic in your own story. We don’t heal through idolization of anyone - but by ceasing to reach outside ourselves, and by accessing the beauty that’s hidden in our own hearts rather than projecting it onto others.
My own transformation birthed passion and devotion in me to understand the root of health and life challenges, and observed 3 main patterns:
The first one is disconnection from our true self; The ways in which we change our behavior and personality in response to painful and traumatic events; to receive the love we were depending on as children - and continue to desire as adults.
Once disconnected from our essence, we begin searching for happiness and fulfillment in places where they can never be found.
The second part is that most of us never learned how our body, mind, and emotions in interconnect and what’s truly needed to create and sustain our health.
The third aspect is how our modern society is built - the norms and values that pull us away from our center to ‘fit in’. Rather than living in alignment with our truth, integrity, and guided by the wisdom of our bodies we can loose ourselves in cultural expectations and superficial interactions don’t fulfill us at the core.
To expand my personal journey and become a helpful guide for others I dedicated myself to studying Nutrition, Bodywork, Meditation, Breathing, Trauma Healing, Holistic Psychology, Functional Exercise, Emotional Healing, and more over the past 9 years.
Along my path I experienced how meaningful and rewarding the healing and awakening process can be and I’m excited to walk part of your journey with you.
You may choose someone to temporarily take on the role as a guide for your healing & awakening. However, your greatest guides are - and will always remain - Your own Body &Heart,
and Your relationship with something greater thanYou.
Mission & Vision
I wish to help shift the paradigm of how we approach physical and emotional health & healing - and for everyone to know through embodiment that our bodies are our allies, and experience how healthy, joyful, and free we can become when we learn to listen and respond to our bodies meaningful messages.
I support my clients to identify and resolve the root cause of symptoms and pain, and accept and love themselves at the core. Working with me goes beyond ‘healing’, it’s about wholeness inside and out - so you can live the healthy, joyful, empowered, and soul-led life, you deserve.
