My first Awakening - 2008
My personal journey for spirituality started at a very young age causing me sleep anxiety. The first book I had ever read was “Life after death “ which I secretly took from a library. As long as I can remember, I had this strong feeling that there must be something much more than this reality. My official spiritual seeking started when I moved to Spain at the age of 21 to participate in “Erasmus Placement” as a Nursing Student at the University of Jaen. That was the first time in my life when I met people that were questioning reality just like me. After completing my Bachelor’s studies, I decided to stay and study Medical Research. That’s where I met my best friend Enri. He was getting his PhD in Biology and I my Master’s Degree in Medical Research. We had spent numerous nights looking at the stars and trying to understand why we exist and how the universe operates. We were both lovers of Greek philosophy and spirituality. My first job as a nurse was in “Palliative Care” in 2009 and lasted for 2 years. Everyday, at least 5 of my patients would pass away and some in my hands. I came to learn about death and make peace with it, only being 24 years old. After that, I decided to move to the United Kingdom where I worked in the surgical ward for another 2 years until I got completely burnt out and depressed.
The Calling for Change - 2013
One day I woke up and clearly understood that my life was miserable. If I would continue living that way, I would have wasted this lifetime. It was my calling but I couldn’t comprehend it back then. My calling was to go to India but I didn’t know why, so I started searching for volunteering opportunities online. A week later, I decided to leave my job and my whole life in the UK. Without much thinking, I bought a one-way ticket to India. Back then, studying Yoga was not as trendy as it is nowadays. I had already been practicing Yoga for a few years and I really liked the philosophy behind it. I completed my first Yoga Teacher Training in Ashtanga Yoga. This was just the beginning. I spent 6 months in India visiting the Holy Places, living in monasteries of different traditions and attaining various Yoga and Meditation Trainings/Courses. I was desperate to find myself. One of the most powerful experiences was staying in a Buddhist Monastery in the Himalayas and taking part in a 10-day silent retreat.
I started devoting myself to my personal healing and finding my passion. My first Yoga teaching job was in Bali in early 2014 and continued in many countries. I was travelling, attaining trainings and teachings all over the world. I lived in more than 8 countries while I was teaching yoga classes, courses and retreats.
By 2017, I had facilitated over 30 certified Yoga Teacher Trainings in India and Thailand. During those 4 years, my life had completely changed from being a miserable nurse in rainy Brighton to teaching Yoga in tropical paradises. But there was still something missing.. my passion..
The dark night of the soul - 2018
In reality it was not only a night but took me many years to get through it. I was going through long-term sadness and anxiety attacks. At the same time, I was jumping from one toxic relationship to the next and living a role of a Yoga teacher which I started not enjoying. That is the moment when my deeper healing began. I started healing through “Inner Dance” , which is a Guided Shamanic Journey through music and hands-on energy healing. My old wounds started appearing, one after the other. That breakthrough brought me much closer to my soul gifts. That is when I also attained the “Inner Dance” facilitator training. A year later, I ended up living in Melbourne, organizing my first workshops and courses related to “Self Love” and offering Group Healing – “Inner Dance” Sessions.
The journey to Self Love - 2019
I decided to move back to Thailand to continue my healing through “Inner Dance”. I still felt very lost, not knowing my passion and having direction in life. That is when I had my first Past Life Regression Hypnosis. My higher self led me straight to my spiritual gifts. I couldn’t believe any word of that session back then. I started getting Hypnosis sessions almost every two weeks until I decided to become an Hypnotherapist. I started seeing my life change as I understood how all the answers are inside us. I was still very hesitant about my path and life purpose as a person with low self-worth. That is when I came across a Shamanic Astrologer. I was always very skeptical about Astrology and very hesitant to believe it. I received my first Shamanic Astrology Birth Chart Reading which was something different, exactly what I was seeking. I couldn’t believe the clarity and feeling of everything making sense right after the session. My heart filled up with hope and joy. That is when I started studying Shamanic Astrology and dedicated to it day and night.
Living a life from the heart - 2020
I started giving online sessions to people from all over the world. I could then see how knowing your potential, could give you the courage to change your life and follow your passion. After giving numerous sessions of Shamanic Astrology Readings and Past Life Regressions, I was able to witness how my clients‘ lives were transforming for the best. In this period of my life, I learned a lot about past lives, karma, ancestral healing and how to combine all this knowledge through Shamanic Astrology so that all this can give us a more holistic view of a person’s Birth Chart.
Being a Full Time Shamanic Astrologer - 2022
After 2 years of working as a Past Life Regression Hypnotherapist and Shamanic Astrologer, I decided to follow my passion for Shamanic Astrology and fully focus on that. It was a big transition to leave behind all the healing work I had done, the numerous trainings I had attained and the healing experience that I had already accumulated. My biggest lesson during these 2 years, was to always listen to my intuition which shows the way of the heart. I now know from my personal experience that if you do not do what you love, there will always be something missing. My calling is to assist people in their spiritual path connecting with their soul gifts and life’s purpose so that they can live a fulfilled and inspired life.
I hope that my journey will inspire you to start your own.
If you are ready to bring a positive change in your life, I will be more than happy to assist you on your path.
