Let’s reimagine a more beautiful world and live it.
Let’s go t(here) together.
Life lived genuinely entails a willingness to dive deeply into your self and explore the path within.
Navigating this sacred terrain, we begin to discover what was once forgotten in the forest of our psyches. An exploration into what lives at the roots of our patterns, our passion, our purpose.
This is my passion — to explore the inner and outer world as one integrated whole.
Let’s embark on the journey of remembrance together.
1:1 Mentorship Immersions Pilgrimages Gene Key Sessions
For those on the journey of remembrance, I offer several paths of entry — 1:1 Mentorship, Immersions, Pilgrimages and Gene Key Sessions.
What I’ve witnessed over the last decade of doing this work is how we live our daily life, what we practice, how we relate to ourselves, our relationships, to the living world and our work is where our passion, our joy and our liberation lives.
I’m here to walk, guide, inquire and be a companion for these times of great change, collective transition, moving into the remembrance of our true nature, so that we can live from our center, create from our hearts - and contribute to a more beautiful world. Offering what is uniquely ours to offer for the current and future generations, for our home, the Earth, the children.
a glimpse of my story…
I grew up in a small village amidst the tomatoes and the cucumbers, the watermelons and grape vines, the crows of morning rosters, and the smell of my grandma’s cooking. I grew up in a community of family and friends, where my neighbors were my best friends. Where I played outside with children for hours on end. I grew up eating fresh fruit from the trees, plums and cherries, apricots and peaches. Where was this all happening? In a small Bulgarian village, born to a linage of farmers and stewards who are native to this land. I grew up with so much freedom and safety in my childhood that I am in awe of how many yearn for this now. Amidst a ‘modern world’, this has become more rare. My parents had a trust in life and trusted me to become my own person. I did not come from a family of financial wealth, but my family is wealthy in their spirits, relationships, generous way of being and by living life well.
In 2001 my family and I transitioned to live in the United States and my whole world changed…from a small village where everyone knew each other to the big city of Chicago. I spent nearly 20 years living, studying, and working in Chicago. During this time I traveled the world which taught me a great deal about our unique ability to co-exist in a wildly, strange world of 8 billion humans.
After learning how to be ‘successful’ in the modern world, I craved how be truly prosperous in my relationships, the work I actually cared about and my everyday life. Prosperity that’s rooted in presence, purpose, and passion. In 2017, I was initiated by my mentor to coach one her 6 month containers that changed my life…and entered the ‘coaching’ world that made me a much better student. Through deeper investigation of what truly mattered to me and later leaving my 12 year secure job, I began carving my own path, one that felt true to my being.
For over a decade I have been walking a committed path of spiritual exploration, embodiment, learning from my daily life, mentors, teachers, ancestors, ancient traditions, the elements, contemplative practices, medicinal plants, fungi, ceremonies and rituals. From my Bulgarian roots to traveling the world, to traditional Yoga, to the contemplative art of the Tao, a deep dive study with the Gene Keys, walking the Red Road, learning about the power of prayer, living in community and sharing my gifts, these are some of the core explorations I am immersed in.
What I've come to trust is this: transformation doesn't happen through understanding alone. It happens in the body, in relationships, in the willingness to meet what we've been avoiding, suppressing or denying and in being present to what is actually here.
My work bridges the spiritual and the practical. I guide individuals through the terrain of their becoming - releasing what no longer belongs to them - the roles, the identities, the striving, and learning to live from the fullness of their being - rooted in honest devotion to what matters most.
with love,
