ONCE UPON A TIME

I was born in Bulgaria by the Black Sea and raised in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland.

From an early age, spirituality called me. At fourteen, I read the Bhagavad Gita and began meditating and reciting mantras, eventually experiencing my first direct spiritual awakening. Independent by nature, I left home at seventeen while completing my studies.

By twenty-two, I was working in marketing and PR for a Swiss bank, building a successful career and living well beyond my years. Yet something essential was missing. I felt disconnected from parts of myself I did not yet understand.

In 2003, I left my secure life behind and moved to London to follow a dream in the music industry — a dream that dissolved as something deeper emerged. London became the womb of my spiritual path. Yoga, conscious nutrition, and holistic living opened new horizons.

I founded my first raw food company, Living Raw Bliss, and worked as a nutrition and detox coach before selling the brand to travel to India and deepen my yogic studies.

What followed was over 15 years of travel across more than 50 countries, exploring spiritual traditions and diverse cultures in search of deeper truth. This journey eventually led me to the Amazon rainforest in Peru, where I spent nearly a decade apprenticing with traditional teachers and studying shamanic healing.

With direct blessings from my teachers, I have now facilitated plant medicine ceremonies and prayer circles internationally for over 18 years. Together with many other retreats and workshops, I’ve been holding over 500 transformative events worldwide.

In 2018, I gave birth to my son in an unassisted home birth — the most profound initiation of my life.

I am also the founder of “Nourish the Mother” an association dedicated to placing mothers back at the center of our social and cultural systems.
