MY STORY

 

 I was born in the Soviet Union, on a secluded military base in Siberia. My father served in the Strategic Missile Forces, while my mother led a lonely life as an officer’s wife, having quit her job to care for three children. When she had just turned 33, my twin sister and I were born prematurely. Soon after, we were diagnosed with an inoperable heart condition—congenital myocarditis—which no antibiotic could treat.​

Desperate for a solution, my family moved to Moscow and sought out the best hospitals, but nothing helped. Doctors gave a devastating verdict: children with this diagnosis rarely lived beyond 13 years.

Conventional medicine had failed us, but my mother refused to give up. She turned to alternative healing and learned Reiki, a practice that ultimately saved our lives. She went on to devote over 20 years to helping others through the same path.​ While completing my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I traveled to London for a short summer exchange program. With little support and limited English, I made the bold decision to stay. The next five years were filled with sleepless nights, relentless hard work, and continuous investment in my education. Despite growing up in an esoteric household, I had somehow convinced myself that a career in business would bring me greater financial success. So, I pursued an MSc in Marketing, followed by an MBA.

​In 2017, just as I had always envisioned, I launched my own fashion business. Within three years, it grew exponentially, and I secured investment for the next financial round. I began coaching and mentoring aspiring fashion entrepreneurs. To most of my friends, I was a role model—living proof of success. My dream had come true… or so it seemed. Then, something unexpected happened. When I turned 33, I suddenly lost all interest in what I was doing. Some called it burnout; others labeled it an existential crisis. It felt as if my world had collapsed, and everything I had once valued became meaningless. What others saw as "achievements" felt like a complete waste of time. I was empty inside. Turning down investor funding, I made the life-changing decision to sell my business and embark on a soul-searching journey. I knew I owed it to myself to find true happiness. I resumed Vipassana meditation and began exploring other esoteric practices—I had nothing to lose. I needed to rediscover meaning in my life. The deeper I delved into spirituality, the more my consciousness and awareness expanded. I underwent a profound mystical experience—a complete reawakening. It felt as if I had been born again. What started as a casual interest in numerology quickly turned into a full-time occupation. My client base grew naturally through word of mouth and referrals. I never advertised my services; people simply sought me out for support on their transformational journeys. This path organically led me to hypnotherapy and later to family constellation therapy.  Helping others brought new meaning to my life.
