Biography

From Bulgaria to Beirut, from engineer to artist.

I was born in Bulgaria and spent my childhood living in different countries. I came to Lebanon when I was 9 years old. I had a cultural shock, to say the least. It was not easy to fit in and I always felt I did not belong. I spent most of my childhood lonely and I found refuge in art. I started painting as early as I could hold a pen in my hand and have been painting ever since.

I wanted to study art but my dad did not believe that artists could make a living, so I had to choose a major that would enable me to earn money. To be honest, I never thought of becoming an artist until later on in life. When I was young, I saw art as a hobby — my "Wonderland," a sacred space that I wasn't ready to share with anyone. So I never saw it as a career but rather as a part of me that belonged to me alone.

I loved math and physics all my life so I graduated from the American University of Beirut with a Bachelor's in Computer and Communications Engineering and a Master's in Business Administration. I enjoyed my scientific career a lot. It stimulated my brain and challenged it. I love mental challenges and I can't imagine my life without my scientific side.

Yet, the right side of my brain never gave up. I always painted and I loved music. After I graduated, I enrolled in piano classes and Latin dance classes. This only lasted a few months. I met my husband-to-be and I decided to quit it all since he was not interested in joining me for the classes. At that time, I did not love myself enough, so I chose him over me. I didn't know any better. I gave up the things I loved thinking it was a noble sacrifice for love. I now understand how wrong I was.

Needless to say, my soul was longing to dance. So I started painting couples dancing. Again, I was using art to fill the emptiness of my soul. I danced through my paintings.

"Slowly as the years went by, the emptiness inside longed to be filled. I reached a point where I no longer felt joy no matter what I did."

I decided to meditate. I took an Inner Engineering class with Isha Yoga in 2007. I practiced for 6 months and then I stopped. In 2009, I did Reiki I. However, the numbness was blocking me from feeling the energy. So I repeated Reiki I in 2010. Still I felt nothing. In 2011, my marriage fell apart. I was on the verge of depression. However, I made the decision to start dancing again and started to learn to play the guitar in 2012. In 2013, I did Vipassana — a 10 day silence program. I wanted to escape from the world. Later that year, I did Reiki II, and that opened me up. I could finally feel the energy.

Since then, my healing journey started. I was working on myself, healing my wounds and searching for my inner peace while I studied different modalities. I got certified in "New Me Breathing and New Me Coaching" in 2014. In 2015, I studied Access Bars and Basic Pranic Healing. In 2017, I went on a healing retreat to Bali. In 2018, I started studying Kabbalah and I went to the US to study In-Depth Channeling. Meanwhile, my art was expanding. I started teaching art classes in 2015. For my own self development, I also took private art classes with well-known artists in Granada (2018) and Florence (2019).

I am still on that journey of self discovery. It is a lifetime journey. However, I am now at peace with myself and with the world. I have found my inner joy and I can't wait to share it with the world. All that I have been through has made me who I am and has prepared me to fulfill my life mission.

In the battle between my "Left" and "Right" sides of the brain, both won. They are both equally important in my life and they help me connect very easily with all types of people. This balance of "Left" and "Right" is what makes me able to teach art in a structured way. It also makes me able to explain spiritual concepts in a more logical way.
