I had a stressful, demanding, and exhausting career in business. To cope with the stress and exhaustion, I started doing yoga.

Little did I know this would catapult me into the most beautiful and fulfilling path in the future.

Yoga practice is my cornerstone, pillar, and starting point from which the spring of the unknown erupted for me.

I experienced my first gong bath over 14 years ago and will never forget it. My sister in Krakow just took me there as a surprise present. I thought I was in another world, where suddenly life became vibrant, beautiful, liveable in its fullness, different, out of this world. I was enchanted, speechless, and touched to my core by the gong’s song and the connection to the universal dimension, the Truth. It was my first mystical experience; it was life-changing.

Soon after, I got initiated into Reiki, which opened up an entirely new dimension to living on the Earth – and in the Universe, where I could feel the energy and use it for self-healing and healing others. I was almost impatient with progressing through initiation levels, which increased my understanding of how the world works and how there is always more to everything around us.

I continued exploring sound healing with various practitioners until I went to a gong bath by Mark Swan. Mark was considered a gong guru, a Kundalini teacher, and had all the Paiste planetary gongs when I trained with him. I was in heaven. I played in his overnight gong pujas and felt I would one day do it myself.

Some force directed me into shamanism, and the world of plant medicine changed me forever. I have trained in core shamanism and Toltec tradition, spent years completing various practices, and continue to do so.

I use crystals in my energy work, and they don’t cease to amaze me.

Since I started my journey, much has changed—shamanism, plant medicine, crystal healing, and sound healing became established as valid and effective ways of healing.
