My Journey

At just 4 months old, my parents moved to New York from St. Petersburg, Russia, and I was immersed in a cultural explosion that greatly shaped and informed my life. 

I grew up in New York until I was 6 and spent summers upstate before relocating to New Jersey. My parents instilled in my sister and I a sensibility and love and admiration for the finer things in life, like… Going to the Met and looking at art, brunching at delicious restaurants on the weekends, and more.

I was immediately captivated and felt the pull of the electricity of proximity to exciting opportunities and dreams in NYC. From a young age, I followed my deepest passions and instincts, pursuing the endeavors that resonated with me most.

Art → I entered my first art contest when I was in 3rd grade. The art teacher gave us the assignment of painting something we dreamed of being or wanted to do. I said I wish I could fly. So, my painting was of a girl flying over the twin towers in New York City with the silhouette of the skyline. I became a finalist in the national contest and got to see my painting on display in the PBS building headquarters in Manhattan. In high school my photography series was selected in a traveling showcase and on display at the local community college.

Modeling → Then, when I was 14, I entered a teen modeling contest for YM Magazine and Covergirl Cosmetics and was selected as one of the ten finalists for the contest. Which led to a whirlwind weekend of photoshoots with top photographers, makeup artists, hairstylists and meeting supermodels like Tyra Banks, Nikki Taylor, and Patricia Valasques and top agents in NYC who wanted to sign me. From there I did some modeling modelled and went on auditions and casting calls throughout my teens and landed some great work.

Travel → I moved to Boulder Colorado for College and got to enjoy the great outdoors and hone my snowboarding skills and cultivated beautiful life long friendships and did some studies abroad in Switzerland and Hawaii.

Through that eye-opening experience I knew there could be a lot of possibilities out there.

This experience only bolstered the seeker in me and stuck around into adulthood when I was newly married and moved from NYC to New Mexico.

Knowing I needed something to help me adjust to this new, slower-paced life and heal, I stumbled onto a free energy reading session. The reading was spot on, and I was amazed to discover that there was an energy healing school that focused on honing your intuition. 

That’s where the journey for me began. I decided to take some workshops and I dove deep into honing my intuitive psychic skills. I also trained and got certified level one and two of Reiki Healing and also got my yoga certification during the Pandemic. 

I felt so lucky as a young mother of a toddler and baby, I was able to self heal and learn all these incredible tools.

As a result of energy work, I was instantly transformed and empowered and I felt lighter. I loved peeling back the layers and deep diving into myself to give myself healing through all the stages of life. This modality gave me clarity, grounded my energy, and empowered to manifest my dreams and goals.
