About me
I'm 36 years old and currently reside in the beautiful south of Portugal, where I am fortunate to work as a therapist and space holder for my community and those who cross my path. Embraced by nature's beauty, I share my life with my border collie, Twister, and a circle of inspiring individuals who enrich my journey.
​
My childhood in Poland was marked by challenges, as the upbringing with my father, a jazz musician and alcoholic, led to feelings of shame, alienation, and anxiety. Seeking answers, I read the whole library of psychology books and delved into the realm of addictions. It was life-changing as it was the foundation for my healing. With this awareness, I went to seek therapy in a local community support center when I was 13. I also took anti-depressants for 6 years in total in various moments of my life.
​
Unknown to me at the time, the path of the wounded healer was gradually unfolding. After completing my journalism degree at the University of Aberdeen, I relocated to London, and it was a time of profound growth, belonging, and exploration. At that time I was working in marketing, being very capable but also feeling that this is not what I am here to do. A deep yearning within me was growing to live closer to nature and to align my work with my soul's purpose.
My father's death was a deep catalyst and I made a life-changing decision to leave behind my relationship, home, and work, embarking on a journey of self-discovery. I spent a year in Lisbon and afterward, my thirst for deeper spiritual teachings led me to India, where I spent six transformative months before returning to settle in Portugal.
​
In 2019 moved to the countryside and I dedicated myself to studies. Awarded a coaching qualification, I was longing to go deeper into the human psyche and I trained in SFBT psychotherapy modality. My exploration of the shamanic world was also taking place, working deep with plant medicine and somatic therapies. I also entered the world of sacred sexuality and modern mystery schools. All of this enriched my current practice connecting mind, body and soul realms. ​

I'm grateful for all the teachers that I met on my path (including the loved ones), still continuing to expand my capacity as a space holder and therapist, and of course, of the deep wisdom of the plants.
