Over the past six years, I’ve been on a deep dive into the wisdom of the body. It did not start because I thought 'Gosh, sounds fun!!' — but because I had no other choice. At the time, I was in the fast lane of a promising career. Everything was moving forward 'succesfully' — until one day, it wasn’t. My energy dropped. The endless stream of ideas dried up. And whenever I tried to rest, I felt an overwhelming sense that something terrible was about to happen. Eventually, I burned out. And strangely enough, that turned out to be a gift.The only thing that helped me find my way through was learning to listen to my body. What is it trying to tell me? What does it need? What do I actually want when I am not basing it on what I think I should do, but from how I feel inside? “No, what you’re feeling right now isn’t convenient.” That was the message I’d been giving myself for years. And through this process, I realized how unpracticed I was at listening — how easily I dismissed my own signals in favor of logic or loyalty to others. I was so used to overriding what I felt, to telling myself it wasn’t the right time to rest, cry, or say no. But when you do that for long enough, it’s like stretching an elastic band — you can keep going for a while, but eventually, it snaps. And when it does, there’s not much left to hold everything together. In recovery, I learned a lot. About the emotions I had pushed aside. About the exhaustion I’d ignored. About how my nervous system only felt safe under pressure. I had to learn how to rest . I had to learn to trust myself again. And slowly, I began to rediscover my playfulness and joy. I started asking, “What if every choice I made came from genuine curiosity and enthusiasm?” And suddenly, I wanted something entirely different from life. That shiny career path? I walked away from it. I retrained. I became better friends with myself. I learned to be alone — and to realize that was good company. Now, six years later, I have my own practice, where I offer massage and body-oriented guidance.I’ve accepted that a 9-to-5 job simply doesn’t nourish me. I celebrate my connection with nature and see my body as a gateway to that connection. I take breaks. I make mistakes. I trust my intuition. And I try to stay true to myself. Returning to that foundation — one that holds both gentleness and  strength. That’s also what I help others with: coming back into contact with their bodies. Returning to that foundation that offers both softness and strength. I love working with people who are curious about themselves — people who believe that feeling our feelings is gold , even if it’s not always easy. People who are ready to trust the process, themselves, and my guidance. And those who appreciate a touch of playfulness and joy along the way. If that resonates with you, I’d love to work with you.
