Everybody's carrier journey is unique, and I am always amazed when I listen to other people's life stories. Mine started in the world of science and mathematics, in the corporate setting surrounded by computers. As a manager in software development, I have seen and felt a lot of pressure and stress. I have seen the effects that they had on me and other people, frequently resulting in physical sickness. During my fifteen years in business, I have learned and experienced that one of the best ways to keep your mind and body healthy was to engage in natural therapies. They helped me feel balanced and in tune with the cycles of nature and universe. As a Yoga student for a number of years, I learned that the proper posture and breathing exercises could help us relax and heal. I understood that we are all energy that vibrates on different frequency, and that we needed to adjust our energy field inside and around us to be able to heal ourselves completely. And most importantly, I discovered that we can engage in reprogramming our subconscious mind in order to achieve our goals in life. Along the way, I became Reiki Master, Certified Reflexologist, Certified Hypnotherapist, Master in NLP (Neural Linguistic Programming), Yoga teacher and author. I realized that my mission on this planet was to help other people by practicing what I have learned, sharing my knowledge and experience. I want to assist people in improving every aspect of their lives, becoming healthier, happier and joyful human beings.

"...What is really important is to let your inner nature speak to you no matter how odd it looks like. Usually, people use only intellect, and they think that they possess the knowledge. But, when they are faced with crisis and emotional suffering, that knowledge does not help. They become depressed, anxious and fearsome. The way to "know" yourself and the world around is to let the spirit talk to you through any means of communication other than the intellect. Let it talk to you through dance, art, meditation, love, play with children. What you need to do is to listen to the messages and the truth will be revealed..."
