My story
I am a mom, your teacher of emotional regulation and development. I have practiced meditation and yoga for decades, but it was the practices of self-compassion that saved me in crisis and burnout.
I have invested the last decade of my life in inner growth and after seeing extraordinary results manifest in my life, my mission became clear. To share the gifts of Self-Compassion with as many people as possible.
Once upon a time in my busy life as an entrepreneur and designer, I thought that treating myself critically helped me achieve success. To some extent, it did. But eventually I realized that despite the external signs of success, I still felt unfulfilled, lacking, and somehow flawed.
When other life challenges came into play - motherhood, emigration, family problems - I felt completely burned out.
Self-compassion was like a warm bath for my exhausted nervous system. Like a deep regeneration of my heart and my inner resources.
I realized that how I treat myself is crucial to the quality of my life.
That's why I couldn't resist sharing with others what literally changed my world.
If you spend your evenings pondering how your current life is draining you, or you are curious how to silence your ever-critical inner voice - Self-Compassion practices are absolutely perfect for you!
We cannot avoid life's challenges, but we can learn to deal with them with greater ease.
