My Story

Since I was a very young girl growing up in Moscow, Russia. I have been searching for clues into who I am and what makes me passionate about life.. I watched adults around me struggle through life doing what they were doing but not enjoying their work, giving up who they are and their love for life. 

In Russia there wasn’t the choice that people have today and it was normal to strive for success but often settle for something less. Growing up in a communist country and seeing the lack of choice people had made me appreciative of how much choice people in North America do have. Unfortunately the problem is too much choice can be paralyzing.

I come from a lineage of strong women: my mother was a Chemical Engineer who decided to change her career and became a Computer Engineer, both of my grandmothers were professionals, one was a doctor and the other was a College History Professor. My grandmother, Sofia, was also a beautiful pianist, she had an ear for music and I remember her vividly for the

vividly for the way she would play the piano and her joy for life when she sat down to play. 

I always thought that giving up on a life of adventure, constant learning, joy and a freedom to be yourself is worse than death. So I left Russia for a better life for my kids, for myself and for my family. 

I told myself when I moved I would take on new adventures, try new things, find a way to connect to people every day, even in the smallest way, to make them smile and to brighten up their day. I have realized that life is about the little things we do in every moment and what impact we leave on the world.

We each are responsible to do something to make the world a better place and we are all unique and have something to offer. Our gift is the true expression of who we are. 

After I discovered my gift to to help people see who they really are, my life changed forever.  I delved into education and certification to make it a reality. I got certified through IPEC and work with clients across the globe.
