Yoga ✺ Breathwork ✺ Cacao ✺ Love ✺ Freedom People come into your life at the right time and you often find yourself in the right place (even if it seems random) - there are no mistakes in the universe and there is a reason why you are reading this page right now. If you want to know who I am professionally the answer would be yoga teacher, breathwork facilitator, author and retreat organiser. But if you want to know who I am beneath those titles, the answer would be:

I am a human being, on a spirtual journey - and so are YOU! Depression, severe anxiety, self harming, self sabotage, wanting to end my life... I was 18 years old and totally lost. This is when yoga entered my life and over the next 10 years I have been building myself up. One day at a time, I kept choosing to fight for my life, I looked for light over dark and I'm so grateful that I am still here. Today I teach yoga and breathwork classes, online and in person and organise and run international retreats all over the world. My role is to gently remind you that you are the creator of your life. At any given moment you can rewrite the story, let go of your limited beliefs and choose to let your inner light shine! I look forward to seeing you in class or on a retreat. Much love to you and thank you for being here.

I have worked with ayahuasca and mushrooms before, but nothing has opened my heart as much as the medicine of cacao. Every plant or herb has a spirit, an energy that can help us along our human journey. The blue lotus, for example, helps dissolve blockages in the sacral chakra and opens the heart, third eye and crown chakras so we can see beyond the veil of illusion. And while I love working with the Blue Lotus Spirit, the Cacao Spirit is the one closest to my heart.

She has been my guide in times of deep heartbreak and loss. Whenever I am scared or vulnerable and feel my heart beginning to close, I reach for a cup of ceremonial cacao. Why? Because I have a deep trust in her ability to gently open my heart and help me see the TRUTH beneath any pain, betrayal or fear I may be feeling. She helps me step out of my ego and back into my heart when I feel lost or confused, guiding me back home to myself.

If your heart has been guarded, heavy or tired, cacao can help you reconnect to the softness within.

She has been by my side while hosting retreats, especially during my earlier retreats when I felt like an imposter and needed encouragement to trust the process. I would have a small cup at sunrise, connect to her and to the will of the divine, trusting that whatever I do or don’t do today will be in accordance with the highest path for all sentient beings involved. Then I would surrender and let my heart lead. Because guess what? You CANNOT get lost if you are following your heart. An open heart is a portal of pure love — a channel through which the divine can speak and create. You can do any manifestation ritual you want, but if your heart is closed, you are not only creating from the mind or ego; you also cannot receive what you are trying to manifest. When you live life from the heart, the ego softens, the primal human programming quiets, and you can finally recognise when you are acting from an old pattern versus when your heart is guiding you.

The only question left is: will you have the courage to follow your heart? The Cacao Spirit can help with that too.

Of course, in EVERY retreat I host, you get to experience the wisdom and healing power of the Cacao Spirit for yourself.
If your heart is whispering ‘yes,’ I would be honoured to hold space for you.

I hope to see you in ceremony soon.

New episode of Mask Off & Exhale 🎧

In this episode, I share what heartbreak really taught me about self-love, emotional strength, and moving forward in an authentic way. Not by pretending it didn’t hurt. Not by hardening. But by learning how to love myself through the process.

This episode is for anyone who has ever loved deeply, lost, and had to rebuild themselves from the inside out.

If you’re navigating heartbreak, transition, or a big emotional chapter, this one is for you.

Listen now.

We call him Noah. A dolphin without a dorsal fin. Many ask what happened to him. Was he born like this, was it a shark attack or maybe a boating accident? The truth is we dont know. We already met him like this.

So on one of the days in Sataya last November, I swam close by and asked “What happened to you?” - the answer came immediately, I will never forget what he told me.

“Why do you ask what happened to me? It’s in the past. I don’t think about it and it is not important. My pod accept and love me as I am. They see me as whole, I am not broken”. - Noah.

The telepathic communication was so strong and clear. My human self felt embarrassed to ask him the question. Of course it doesnt matter.

There is great wisdom in what he said. We too often think about the past, carrying the pain or sadness of yesterday; worrying about judgment and not fitting in. But all of that doesnt matter. Yesterday is a memory and tomorrow is an illusion, all you have is today to focus on.

Noah doesnt care that he looks different, for he understands that our physical bodies are just an avatar for the soul. The body is made out of earthy matter and it belong to Mother Gaia, but once we transcend the human body (AKA die), we take our soul with us and there it doesnt matter what color, shape or size your body was. Your scars, your stretch marks and cellulite, none of that matters when your body dies…. But can it also cease to matter when you are still here? Can you just like Noah and his pod see beyond the avatar and see that you and those around you are much more than the body? You are an eternal spirit, a source of energy that can never die and whatever your avatar is made out of in this life time; truly does not matter in the grand scheme of the universe and all of existence.

Can you take a moment to remember that you are not alone? That you too are part of a pod that love and accept you? And if you havent found your pod yet; dont worry: your people are out there. Just make sure that you are yourself, authentic, raw and real - so that your pod can recognize you.

Someone recently asked me why I like hosting retreats so much. My whole face lit up when I thought of the answer.

I became a yoga teacher in 2018, and while I really enjoyed teaching yoga & witnessing how my students relaxed during class and left feeling lighter & more connected to themselves, I was missing the element of transformation. You see, each yoga class has the potential to change you, but as a teacher I only see a glimpse of my students’ journey. When I host an 8-day retreat, the transformation is obvious. I love seeing people open up, overcome their fears, cry & laugh with people who were strangers just a few days earlier. I love seeing the GLOW that people leave the retreat with. The regeneration of spirit is so clear. I don’t just have a 60-minute class to make sure my students feel seen, heard & loved — I have 8 days. Eight beautiful days to help you reconnect back to YOU and back to SOURCE.

The retreat schedule is designed to allow you to open up in ways you didn’t know you could. You feel, you release, you let go in the first 2–3 days, and then you fill up your cup — literally & metaphysically. I fill up your cup with ceremonial cacao & blue lotus tea, helping you connect to spirit, to your spirit guides, to the divine within, and to the sacred portal of your heart. I guide you through transformational breathwork, yoga that doesn’t just touch the body but your soul too, and every day I make sure to remind you of just how FU***NG POWERFUL YOU ARE. Everything is possible. If you can dream it, you can live it.

And when everyone goes home, I feel fulfilled knowing that together, they & I made a difference — not only in their lives, but also in the lives of their families, friends, and the world. Because when we raise our vibration, we help raise the vibration of the planet.

So there it is. Simply put, that’s why I do what I do. I thank each and every soul who has said YES to a journey with me. Thank you for being part of my soul family & choosing to BE MORE OF YOURSELF with me.

Dolphins know your fears.

They can feel what you feel — both on a conscious and subconscious level — and they can help you not only understand your fears but also overcome them. Every time I go to Sataya, I level up in ways that I can’t quite describe. When I enter the water and swim side-by-side with them, they show me. They show me my limitations and my strengths; they remind me how lovable I am, that I am enough — always have been, and always will be. They reveal what I’ve been running from and gently guide me back toward the direction my soul wants to go, even when my human self is afraid or hasn’t yet understood what she needs.

In 2025, I met a friend in Sataya — a friend with whom I share a rich history filled with love, loss, and lessons. I asked the dolphins for help in creating peace between us. I knew I wanted to see her, yet I was afraid of rejection or things going wrong. I remember that day so vividly: I spent nearly two hours in the open water with the dolphins. Sometimes they swam away, and I’d wait patiently for them to circle back before continuing on, all the while communicating with them. Asking for guidance, for clarity, for wisdom.

“What do I say when I see her? I don’t have the words. I’m afraid of being misunderstood.”

And then, not long after, they answered. Like a mirror, they reflected back to me what was already inside. They helped me see the inner child within myself and the little girl within her. Because truly, we are all just children wanting to play, wanting to laugh, wanting to be loved.

Together, the dolphins and I swam for a long time until they guided me straight to her boat — straight to her. And once our eyes met, just like that, the dolphins swam away. It was now up to me to create the peace I had been longing for.

When you swim with dolphins, you don’t just swim.

Every encounter has the potential to change your life, to soften your heart, to open something within you. You simply have to be willing — willing to receive, to trust, and to let the magic unfold.

If you feel called to experience this level of connection, healing, and heart-opening magic for yourself… Sataya and the dolphins are waiting.

Join me this year. I would love to guide you through your own dolphin-led transformation.

Imagine this is you… in the middle of the Red Sea.

Dolphins around the boat.

You’re doing breathwork.

Connecting deeper to yourself, to your truth, to your heart….

So when you go home you live with INTENSION, you create with awareness, your heart is open and the past no longer has a hold of you.

Breathe this reality into your field.

Live and experience this yourself 🐬🤍🦋

My Cyprus yogis…

And my lovely humans who don’t want to swim with dolphins, whales, sharks, or any marine creature whatsoever…

THIS ONE’S FOR YOU! 😂💛

From 30th April – 4th May 2026, I’m hosting a 5 day retreat in Cyprus and I would love for you to join me.

Supported by sacred teachings and restorative practices, you’ll explore the seven chakras as gateways to balance, clarity and inner harmony. Allow yourself to step away from the demands of everyday life and prioritise your wellbeing in a meaningful, soul-nourishing way.

Whether you are seeking renewal, looking to deepen your inner journey, or longing for stillness and clarity, this 5-day experience has been lovingly crafted to support your return to balance: physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually.

I’m really excited (and honestly, a little vulnerable and nervous) to finally share this with you.

My podcast Mask Off & Exhale is now live.

This is something I’ve wanted to create for a long time, but I always found an excuse... imposter syndrome, not enough time, the familiar thought of who would even want to listen to me?

So I decided to approach it differently.

I chose to simply be myself and to enjoy the process while recording. I didn’t want this to feel like work, or to spend hours editing and making it perfect. I wanted it to feel real.

And so, here it is: me, unfiltered.

This podcast is for those who are ready to live and speak more authentically, with themselves and with the world.

It’s a space where we talk about desire, courage, love and loss, and all the in-between moments people rarely name out loud. A space where you are seen. Where you’re not alone. Where the journey matters more than the destination.

This is for people who are done saying the right things and are ready for honest truth, even when it feels uncomfortable or scary. In these conversations, we explore change, uncertainty, the unknown, and what it really means to choose yourself without guarantees.

Just honest conversations, lived and breathed into existence.

🎧 You can listen to the first two episodes now, with a new episode every Monday. Head to the link below and listen on spotify.

If it resonates, I’d love for you to share it with someone who might need it, or leave a review to help this space reach more hearts.

Thank you for being here. For walking this path. And for having the courage to take the mask off.
