The last years of life have been fascinating. Like a movie, full of unexpected turns and twists. I’ve changed 3 homes – first moving from St. Petersburg to Moscow, then from Moscow to Bogota, and now I’m here in New York City. Each move, I’ve let more and more go, the amount of suitcases have decreased substantially; the only one thing I’ve always kept with me is my motto “home is wherever I am”.

I say with confidence, I know what change, transformation and metamorphosis are. I know how to embrace the changes in a way which allowed me to leave the past behind, while savouring the gifts of the experienced life and opening the door to beautiful new beginnings.

I’m a certified yoga therapist for women and a bodyworker. I began practicing bodywork when I was 18 when I faced health complications. Three years after my recovery I began working with yoga therapy techniques with women of different ages and at different life stages: fertility period, pregnancy, postnatal recovery and menopause. 

As a result of these practices, a wonderful technique of body-oriented therapy came for living through adversity and marking important transitions: The Rebirth Ceremony.
