My own continuous journey
Being born in Ukraine, during the break of the Soviet Union, has taught me resilience, scarcity and strength of the community. The discipline of rhythmic gymnastics, ballet & dance brought hard work & joy into a daily routine. Move to Canada at the age of 14, has introduced me to multiculturalism, freedom of asking challenging questions and expressing my thoughts. Dance continued to be my passion, i started to compete professionally across Canada and US. While studying in York University Biochemistry & Genetics, wishing to become a researcher. I also entered the world of fitness industry, becoming a fitness classes instructor.
My path has lead me to become a Clinical Researcher, working for multiple global pharmaceutical companies, moving multiple countries, to explore different roles, expanding my horizons and growing as a professional.
During the last 15 years numerous challenges, emotional turmoils and disappointments have occurred. I struggled with psoriasis, and western medicine could not help me. My dermatologist suggested to take up yoga classes, to calm my over-reactive nervous system and learn how to relax. It took me at least 8 classes to really get into yoga.
Yoga has introduced a lot of self awareness and reflection into my life. Self care and setting up healthy boundaries became my daily routine. I become a Life & Nutritional coach in order to help myself to consciously choose a healthier way to reacting to stressors of life.
Now I'm ready to share my humble experiences and knowledge with those who are ready to embark on a journey to a healthier life.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?
