My Story

I grew up in Estonia and have spent my life moving — across countries, cultures, and continents. Years in the United States. A life eventually rooted in the UK. That love of movement, of new experiences, of seeking and learning, has always been part of who I am.

But for many years, beneath all that movement, I was struggling.There was a quiet emptiness beneath the surface, a sense of searching for something I could not yet name. I tried to fill it in all the wrong ways. And all the while, my body kept asking to be heard. Gut issues that seemed to have no lasting solution. A relationship with food that was complicated — sometimes a punishment, sometimes a comfort, rarely a source of genuine nourishment. I tried everything. Every protocol, every supplement, every modality. Nothing gave me a real roadmap.

Yoga arrived first. It gave me back my body. My breath. A sense of being at home in myself that I had not known before. Over years of practice, it gave me something even deeper, a spiritual foundation that became the ground beneath everything else.

Then came Ayurveda. And something finally clicked.

Ayurveda did not give me a diet. It gave me a way of understanding myself — my constitution, my rhythms, my relationship with the seasons, with food, with rest. It taught me that my body was not broken. It was simply asking for something different. Something rooted in wisdom rather than willpower.

The shift in my relationship with food was the most profound part. I stopped seeing it as a tool for control or a way to numb what I could not yet feel. I began slowly, tenderly, imperfectly to see it as medicine. As nourishment. As an act of genuine self-love.

Nervous system healing, rituals and journaling were also a huge part of my journey. Learning to regulate, to feel, to process and to actually be in my body rather than managing it from a distance.

Eight years ago I got sober. It was one of the most significant acts of self-love I have ever taken. Sobriety gave me clarity. It deepened my spiritual practice immeasurably and changed the quality of everything — my teaching, my relationships, my inner life.

For the past several years I have been studying Kabbalah, one of the world's oldest wisdom traditions. It has become my primary spiritual study and has woven itself into how I understand healing, purpose, the nature of the soul, and the extraordinary potential within every human being.

I have been teaching yoga for over fifteen years and supporting women through Ayurvedic mentoring has become my second calling. I still have flare-ups. I still have sensitive days. I still learn. That is the nature of this path — it is not a destination, it is a way of living.

And I am deeply, genuinely grateful for every step of it.
