​

Having lived and performed in Russia, The Netherlands, UK, Central America, United States and now in Portugal, I was exposed to a wide diversity of music and cultures from a young age. 

I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Arts And Music Business in the UK and after my graduation I moved to Panama where I was a full time singer performing in a wide range of genres (jazz, bossa nova, reggae, latin, funk, disco, oldies) at various venues, TV and radio shows. 

​

From a distance it looked like I had a perfect and adventurous life, but in reality I felt empty every year and was constantly searching for meaning of life. 

I did not realize I was accumulating a lot of unexpressed emotions from childhood, teen years and present. Growing up with only my grandma until I was 10, strongly missing my mom as she was overseas to help my family make ends meet, having an absentee dad and not having a strong emotional support took a toll on me which came out in form of depression, panic attacks and anxiety in my late 20's. 

​​

The last ten years have been truly transformational, both personally and professionally. 
Through various practices, trying everything I could to get myself out of the funk, I realized that the most healing and powerful thing I could do was to turn inwards and dig deep, long and hard to release years of emotional suppression. I had to battle a lot of patterns, programming, false truths and have a very strong will to form my own vision, voice, connection to my body. 

​

Once I started working with myself, I got depressed even more, thinking I am going crazy! Only later to realize that things usually get worse before the true shift happens. And I needed to experience every single part it for myself so that now I can understand the structure and the steps to help others go through their emotional journey.
