✨ In my practice and life, I am guided by the principle of loving presence. This state of unconditional love and acceptance forms a safe space that inherently supports deep emotional healing and personal growth.
Professional experience since 2003 until now spanning across Cyprus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Norway, Switzerland, Russia, and Ukraine. Currently, I actively work in an online format, making professional support accessible worldwide. Author of 12 books, many of which hold leading positions in the book market and have been republished multiple times.
