My darkest moments led me to light, simplicity and vital health.
From dark to light, from years of disease to vital health
I've come from a dark place. An unhappy childhood with struggling parents in post-communist Poland, many dark thoughts, a few addictions, a broken heart.
Then the best thing that could have happened to me: suddenly, aged 23 and pregnant, I was diagnosed with a major life-shortening illness. It was a harsh blow; reality hit like never before. And it was exactly what I needed.
What followed was a path of recovery, of not accepting that 'this is how things will be', of healing not just my body, but also my mind and my spirit.
I took a holistic approach. I wanted to heal from within, to heal completely. To mend my heart, stop the dark thoughts, to get a feel for what it means to be happy and full of vibrant, vital health. I experimented, made decisions, did U-turns. I found what worked and what didn't. I was open to it all.
I was extremely lucky that a treatment for my illness was developed a few years later and I was cured of it within a few months, but little did I know that that was just the beginning of my healing.
I am not religious - never have been, after my family's Church repeatedly let me and others down.
I also thought that I wasn't spiritual but it wasn't until recently that I realised that wasn't true and never had been.
It's now crystal clear to me that all things that exist are connected by a life force that makes a whole greater than its parts. The way the Universe is makes sense. Everything happens for a reason. We are here to learn and to heal.
I believe that we are all a part of something bigger than ourselves, connected on an energetic level, if you like; even quantum physics seems to suggest something of the kind, in a way that science cannot fully explain yet.
With this connection comes the responsibility for the part that I play in this world and in this lifetime. The energy that I put out into the world matters. So does yours.
My healing journey took me from a place of self-hatred and feeling lost and alone to one full of love, fulfilment and the courage to speak up. I have found these within myself, through the use of powerful but simple and accessible tools. My healing has been emotional, physical and psychological, and that is what I now teach.
That’s also why I do what I do. I help others find their own vital health and happiness because I've been there, I've done that, I got the T-shirt and now I don't want you to have to go through years of feeling alone and unsure before you reach your vital health and your happy place in space.
That is why teaching others to heal themselves is my mission.
