As a child, I loved to dance. I loved to sing, to entertain, to create. Creation felt natural to me. It was movement, expression, imagination — a way of being alive.
Even when I heard that I wasn’t good enough — that I couldn’t dance or sing — something inside me kept moving. There was always a quiet current of expression that refused to disappear.
My body, however, was never something I could ignore. It was different. It asked for attention. It asked for care.
In 2020, my relationship with my body changed deeply. A series of surgeries — leg lengthening, knee correction, long recoveries — slowed me down in a way I could not escape.
For the first time, I had to truly listen.
I met many people along that path: doctors, therapists, teachers, natural healers. I learned. I observed. I gathered knowledge — not only to recover, but to understand.
To meet my body not as a problem, but as a teacher.
For many years, I had already been on a path of self-discovery — exploring different methods, learning, searching, slowly understanding myself more deeply.
Long before my surgeries, I felt a quiet pull toward working with movement and sound. It wasn’t yet clear, but it was there — a gentle knowing that this direction belonged to me.
During that time, I attended a workshop that combined movement, dance, and a sound concert with ethnic instruments like singing bowls, gongs chimes etc.
It began with learning how to hold sound concerts. Then I discovered sound massage — something that felt almost unimaginable at first.
And yet, something in me already knew.
I still remember the first time I struck a bowl.
The vibration.
The resonance in my hands and chest.
The quiet certainty: This is it.
Sound was later joined by breath.
Breath by movement and dance.
What once felt separated — voice, body, expression — slowly began to integrate.
There was a time when someone’s words closed me off from my own voice.
Later, I met people who reminded me that the voice is not ego — it is offering.
And so I began to share.
Alongside my experiential path, I began studying psychology. Understanding the nervous system, trauma, and regulation deepened my work. It allowed me to bridge intuition and evidence.
Body and mind.
Science and lived experience.
My body has always been different. In many ways, it has been my greatest teacher.
It taught me patience.
It taught me presence.
It taught me that healing is not about fixing — but about remembering.
This work is not about performance.
It is about connection.
It is about listening to what is already within you.
And perhaps — returning to yourself.
Because the body knows the way – sometimes it only asks for space, support, and little more kindness.
with Love
