YOGA JOURNEY

My first yoga experience happened in a group class at a gym, which I absolutely disliked. I did not understand why we had to pretzel and be slow and still, and I could not do the majority of the poses. So I quit yoga. Seven years passed by, and, just like in the Buddhist proverb – “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear” – one day I woke up and realized that I want to become a yoga teacher! So, I found a school, got certified and have been teaching ever since. Having tried many different styles – Hatha, Bikram, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Zen, and Yin, I decided to create my own sequences customized to specific needs of a person. I have worked with people in the comfort of their homes, and has had great success improving their quality of life.

HERBAL PATH

From my very childhood I loved and was drawn to plants. I used to ask my parents about plants in the parks and forests. But they only knew that much. So, I got a dream to learn about the herbs and their healing powers. That led me to the idea of becoming a herbalist. And when you send your very strong intention to the Universe, the circumstances work in your favor! So I came across the Institute of Traditional Medicine in Toronto, where I found amazing teachers and learned not just about Western herbs, but also about traditional Chinese and Ayuruvedic approaches to healing the body. And now I am a certified herbalist ready to share my knowledge and help others on their healing journeys.

Have you ever wished that you have someone to talk to, who would sit down with you, listen and figure out your health issues? It seems that when we go to the doctors, they are very quick to rush in and out of the room, so many people feel that they were not fully seen or heard. During the initial appointment a herbalist usually spends an hour or two with the client, digs deep making sure to understand the root cause of the issue and find the best supportive herbs for them.
