My Mission
My mission is to empower individuals in their health, birth, and life. I am deeply passionate about holistic health and childbirth, and I’ve turned these passions into a fulfilling career.
My Journey
From an early age, I was drawn to natural and holistic health solutions. While conventional medicine has its place, it couldn’t resolve my chronic issues like persistent headaches, painful periods, and sore throats. This led me to explore alternative approaches, which brought profound healing and long-lasting well-being.
In 2009, my first pregnancy marked a pivotal moment in my journey. Living in Bulgaria, I felt overwhelmed by the fear instilled by a medicalized birth culture and negative narratives about childbirth. A transformative yoga lecture introduced me to the beauty of natural birth and the importance of understanding women’s needs during labor. Equipped with knowledge about physiological birth and tools like EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), I prepared myself mentally and emotionally for a calm and empowering experience.
The birth of my first child was profoundly transformational, shifting my perspective on life and career. I realized that the principles I learned during birth preparation—trust, empowerment, and a holistic approach—applied to every aspect of life, offering a more aligned and fulfilling way of being.
To learn more about my birth story:
In 2020, during my second pregnancy, I deepened my self-trust and empowerment. Now in a different country, at a new stage of life, and amidst the challenges of lockdowns and social isolation, I approached this pregnancy with a fresh mindset. I consciously prepared for a freebirth, overcoming obstacles and developing new tools along the way. This experience elevated my confidence and understanding to a whole new level, culminating in another powerful, conscious, and deeply fulfilling birth.
Before becoming a mother, I was a Chartered Financial Analyst and worked as a portfolio manager at the Central Bank of my country. My personal experiences, particularly during pregnancy and motherhood, inspired me to follow a more unique career path—one where I could transmit the knowledge, tools, and insights I had gained to as many people as possible.
To find out more about my second birth:
Later, I felt inspired to study Kinesiology after experiencing its surprising and transformative impact on my own health. I had suffered from prolonged and severe foot pain that left me limping for months. A kinesiology practitioner used muscle testing to identify the nutrients my body needed for recovery. Though initially skeptical, I followed the guidance, and the pain vanished. Another time, kinesiology helped me address chronic fatigue and emotional overwhelm.
I also decided to learn various Energy Psychology tools, initially to work on my own difficult experiences, painful emotions, and limiting beliefs. Over time, I chose to incorporate these tools into my work and offer them as a standalone healing and empowering modality.
I was fascinated by kinesiology's holistic nature, integrating physical treatments, the impact of foods, and personalized recommendations for vitamins, minerals, and herbs. It also addressed emotional patterns, thought processes, and energetic imbalances. These experiences inspired me to become a practitioner myself, combining my love for holistic health with my commitment to helping others achieve balance, empowerment, and well-being.
My Holistic Lifestyle
Since becoming a mother, I have embraced a variety of holistic modalities, including homeopathy, reflexology, osteopathy, and kinesiology, which have played a transformative role in both my personal journey and professional growth.
Before motherhood, I worked as a portfolio manager at the Central Bank of Bulgaria, overseeing the country’s currency reserves. My background as a Chartered Financial Analyst brings a unique analytical perspective that complements my intuitive approach to health and well-being. I applied my research skills to delve deeply into areas like pregnancy, childbirth, parenting, and holistic health, ensuring that every choice I made was as conscious and natural as possible.
In my daily life, I practice yoga, meditation, dance, swimming, tantra, and mindful living, continuously investing in personal growth and development. My parenting style embraces attachment parenting and extended breastfeeding, reflecting my commitment to fostering deep connections. I’m passionate about nutrition, psychology, sexuality, and all things natural and holistic. Outside of work, I find joy in spending quality time with my children, reading, dancing, traveling, and always seeking new opportunities to learn and grow.
