“My calling is to encourage clients to choose the way they want to live.”
My story starts on Sakhalin island in the Russian Far East, closer to Japan than Moscow. I have been very lucky to be surrounded by gorgeous nature where I was evolving as a future MovNat coach. I was climbing trees and doing gymnastics on huge boulders as a kid. And the best part of growing up in the communist region was to have any access to sports activity for FREE!!! So I’ve been trained in a wide variety of sport styles, from shooting to gymnastics.
When I was young I was always fascinated to bring my friends along with me to try sports and stop drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. Later, when I was 18, my family moved to Israel where I discovered my deep passion for teaching clients how to make their bodies stronger and more resilient. But I always felt that there was something missing. Spirituality is what connected my fitness experience with what I teach today.
After completing Kinesiology in 2003, I set out on a journey to discover the mind-body-spirit benefits of yoga. Combining the knowledge of experience gained in the past 20 years, I offer a highly integrative approach by fusing elements from Functional Movement, Breathwork, and Soul Coaching.
In my sessions, I invite clients to acknowledge and honor their own unique needs and intentions. This experience of ‘self-sensing’ and ‘self-awareness’ becomes a tool that I encourage students to apply in their daily life.
As a coach and therapist, I have assisted in improving the lives of numerous individuals who have reached out to me with a variety of health conditions and life changes.
