My life journey started in the beautiful city Odessa, Ukraine. I immigrated to the USA in 1990 and it felt almost like the beginning of a new life. It was a new life and a new adventure! My education and occupation always were in technical fields. I always had an inquisitive mind and wanted to understand how the world I am living in works.
I grew up in a very strict conventional environment with no religion, I was taught in a very materialistic school with no beliefs in anything other than material world. But since I was very little I somehow knew that it was not true. Something else beyond what we see should exist otherwise nothing makes sense. A lot of things didn’t make sense to me for a long time and I felt myself different from people surrounding me. I did what I was supposed to do to fit in. I got a good education, a good job, got married but I wasn’t happy and many times felt depressed. I was searching for information to make sense of life. It was getting worse and worse until in 1996 my friend introduced me to the Seth Material - collection of books by Jane Roberts. First time in all those years I was reading something that made complete sense to me!
That was such a pivotal moment! One day very late at night I was reading “Nature of Personal Reality” outside under the stars and at that moment I strongly believed that no matter the circumstances I have the power to change my life for the better. I didn’t know how but I felt guided and just knew that I could do it.
Nothing was the same after. I made many changes and followed the trails of “you create your reality” ideas. I read many books, participated in many workshops and met many very interesting and unusual people. I wanted to understand how life works. Why did my life unfold the way it did? Sometimes it seems to follow some design but who is a designer? How people, events or circumstances which affect me appear? Who am I? What happens beyond this life? I exposed myself to very diverse information and got some answers. My life got better and better, I encountered fewer challenges and when challenges happen they become less intense. I know that my journey is never over; it keeps me fascinated with the mystery and magic of existence.
As I continued my spiritual path around 2015 I felt guided to the new exploration. I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do but I felt many questions inside of me. I start questioning myself what I would like to do, what are my passions? I felt I want to quit my job and be more in service, sharing my knowledge. I gain a lot of spiritual knowledge but I would like to embody that knowledge in my everyday life; I love dancing and have wanted to become a dancer since I was 5 years old. It never happened and I considered it as an impossible dream. I always long for deeper connection with people and be in service. All of this seemed like different directions until I found a conscious dance and moving meditation. I went to Journey Dance and Let Your Yoga Dance teacher trainings to become a movement meditation, conscious dance facilitator. It was a totally transformational experience. Movement became my medicine. Please continue to read about my movement offerings here.
2020 was a pivotal and exciting year for me. I did exit my job as a computer programmer. I felt very strongly guided to do so. I wanted more and more to be my genuine self. Do what I love to do, enjoy Life. Also my desire to be of service became much stronger but I wasn’t sure how I could do that. After some searching and contemplation I decided to become a Life Coach and enrolled in the Official Coach Training School of Tony Robbins - Robbins-Madanes training.

Even though I don’t work for a big corporation anymore, I use my 20 years experience in computer programming as a Web Designer for small businesses.
