Ep. 20 Beyond Masks: Discovering the Grace in Vulnerability

Creating safe spaces for people to fall apart.

It is in the falling apart, the messiness, that you find your way to healing and wholeness. I know this because I've lived it and watched this transformation in countless humans I’ve worked with.

But it wasn’t always this way for me. I grew up in post-Soviet Russia where secrets and silence founded my childhood. I felt completely out of place, a misfit. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t conform to my family culture. And my body let me know it. I felt sick, depressed, and completely alone.

I wasn’t going to live that way, so I jumped. I knew I needed an entirely different kind of existence so just like the movie, The Matrix, I became a ‘Matrix Jumper’.

My first ‘matrix’ after leaving Russia was in the American Dream. I lived in DC, got my MBA, and worked my way into a corporate finance job. But after a while, my body let me know it was time for change again when I would fall asleep in the middle of the day and cry all night.

I knew there were options. I could numb myself into accepting this was my life, like my alcoholic father and countless others, or I could jump again. I jumped. 

This time, I went for the unknown. I traveled throughout the US, went to Thailand, then to India, and learned about alternative ways of healing. 

I connected to myself. I found true freedom like I never knew existed. I wanted to share it with the world!

And now I do. After many years as a professional dominatrix in NYC and also learning the sacred art of Shibari, I am now immersed in coaching others to transformation and healing through various modalities of vulnerability.

Though my body loudly led the way for me, we can all find our way to healing, wellness, and bliss ❤️‍🩹😇🧘‍♀️
