At 27, what looked like success on the outside—frequent travel, a good salary, freedom to enjoy almost anything I wanted—no longer matched how I felt inside.

Despite the outward appearance of a fulfilling life, I was quietly suffering. Anxiety and depression had become part of my everyday reality. I tried to fill the void with alcohol, parties, and short-lived connections, but nothing lasted.

After one especially long night, I woke up with more than a hangover. There was an emptiness inside me I could no longer escape.

I was tired of myself.

So I sold what I owned, packed a small bag, and set out—not knowing exactly what I was looking for, only that I needed to find inner peace. To get out of the hedonic treadmill. Find something that felt like home.

Meeting My Shadows in India

For nearly two years, I moved through different countries and inner landscapes. In 2016, that search led me to Bodh Gaya, India, the sacred place where the Buddha is said to have awakened beneath the Bodhi tree.

There, I joined a 10-day silent Vipassana retreat—ten hours of meditation each day, without distraction, conversation, or escape. In that silence, something long-buried began to rise.

I remembered something I had carried unknowingly for years: a childhood experience of sexual abuse, when I was just two years old.

It was the hardest truth I had ever faced. But that moment of remembrance, though painful, marked the beginning of a deeper kind of healing—one that didn’t come from running away, but from learning to stay present with what is.

From then on, I committed to the path of meditation and inner inquiry. I returned to Vipassana retreats, studied the teachings of the Buddha, and began to rebuild my life from the inside out—one breath, one insight at a time.

An Awakening Through Energy

In 2019, while attending an intensive meditation retreat in Myanmar, I experienced a spontaneous awakening of Kundalini energy.

It was unlike anything I had known before—a powerful current rising through my spine, filling me with clarity, love, and a sense of deep connection to something greater.

This experience opened the door to a new phase of my journey: one that led me to explore tantric practices, subtle energy work, and the sacred intelligence of the body.

It became clear to me that healing wasn’t just about the mind. It was about the whole being—body, heart, spirit, and even what lies beyond words.

A Path of Devotion and Integration

In 2023, I returned to Bodh Gaya and took the Bodhisattva vows alongside Geshe Dorji Damdul, a senior monk close to the Dalai Lama. That moment deepened my commitment to walk the path not only for myself, but in service to others.

That same year, I traveled to Abydos, Egypt, where I received a spiritual initiation inside the Temple of Seti I. It was a moment of deep remembrance—one that reconnected me with an ancient thread, a sense of lineage and continuity that I carry with reverence.

At the same time, I continued to ground my understanding through formal studies—completing training in mindfulness, trauma-informed therapy, and neuroscience, learning from teachers such as Gabor Maté and Bessel van der Kolk.

This integration of science and spirit, of ancient wisdom and modern insight, now forms the heart of my work.

Why I Do This Work

I share my story not to offer a model, but to offer hope.

I’ve come to believe that even our deepest wounds can become gateways to healing, liberation, and awakening. That what we fear most in ourselves often holds the key to our transformation.

Healing is not about becoming someone else. It’s about remembering who you truly are.

The light you’re searching for has always lived within you.

My role is simply to walk beside you, offering tools, presence, and a grounded path—so you can become your own healer.
