Born in communist Romania, I studied medicine and have been through residency in the confusing times of transitioning to democracy.

My early interest in yoga and meditation led to the simultaneous study of science and introspective paths. It took a lot of work and curiosity to realise how to blend these two distinct approaches into cognitive functioning and practical application.

I became a yoga teacher through apprenticeship, helping my teacher out of love – there was no concept of TTC back then.

I travelled many – internal journeys of self-discovery and external explorations of the world and human kindness.

from reading censored yoga books in my father’s library to becoming a yoga guru in Thailand
from denying my femininity to pioneering women’s circles
from Western medical studies to integration with alternative medicine, homoeopathy, yoga therapy, and psychotherapy
from the thorough objectivity of science to the exquisite nature of non-ordinary states of consciousness

The external travels were prompted by the same search for medical and sacred knowledge.

Yogi Rama’s Himalayan Institute in Dehradun, Tibetan traditional ritual, Chinese Qigong healing practices, meditation in the ashrams of Rishikesh and Thai monasteries, prayer and Sufi whirling in the mosques of Turkey and Israeli desert, explorations of esoteric Christianity, studies of Kashmiri non-dual Shaivism and Jewish mysticism, shamanic psychospiritual work.

I can navigate with you through extensive lengths o change, chaos, transformation, and suffering. I have the experience, knowledge, education and ability to adapt, reinvent, empathise, listen and empower. I am used to holding the space for the most secret inner struggles, the hidden shame, and the intimate impulses.
Reach out!

Doctor

MD – studied six years medical university followed by another six years of residency to become a

Physiatrist
sounds close enough to a psychiatrist – a shrink, but it is a doctor for the physical issues, recovery and recuperation, therapy of movement, physiotherapy and balneoclimatology.

balneoclimatology is the study of how climate, mineral water, hot springs, therapeutic muds, specialised movement, and other natural elements impact various health conditions.

shortly, balneoclimatology is where science meets spa day!

this medical speciality was the closest choice I had to the recently coined terms of integrative, functional or psychosomatic medicine – mind-body-nature integration for therapy.

is there something more to life than sleeping, eating, working, procreating?

yoga – 30+ years of practice in hatha, laya, and tantric formats. 25+ years of teaching experience including teacher trainings hatha and tantra, pioneering of yoga therapy trainings

meditation – aficionado of daily practice; laya, mantra, mindfulness, visualisation, non-dual Shaiva and Tibetan style

prayer – christian orthodox by my grandparents education, I found genuine likeness and sincerity in Jewish, Sufi, Hindu, and Buddhist mysticism.

non-ordinary states of consciousness – shamanic psychospiritual work, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, Hoffman process, holotropic breathwork

Woman

femininity was my toughest challenge and most fertile growth

adoption of masculine traits served me well for a while during studies, yoga, and meditation practices.

then love came along …

emotions, relationships, hormones, tantric sexuality, kundalini phenomena, intuition and ESP, facing death through health challenges, the embodied explorations of the Great Mother, devotion and transfiguration

I developed several personal development and wellness programs for women, initiated the women’s circles in Koh Phangan, and been invited in many places around the world to work with women on their Complete Femininity

My contentment in being a woman serves gently the integration of masculine and feminine.

trials

health – through silent, insidious, confusing degradation from within.
This was the unpredicted way to verify what mind over matter really means. It brought me to homeopathy, yoga therapy, integration of biomedicine and alternative therapies, and the role of psychotherapy.

magic – this test is not to be prescribed by or to doctors. what is real and what is a figment of imagination? where does normal step into the paranormal? what is mental training and runs under the definition of insanity? years after years of inner search. does it have an end?

chaos – starting 2015 the trial of total change started; those times when world turns upside down. work, relationships, location, family, internal world, full scale challenge and uprooting

Return

I could not believe this is the end of Me, although it surely felt like it

It took an honest look into the mirror and lots of self reflection.

The pandemic times offered the unwitting cradle for my healing and revival. The dark, the cold, the surrender to the unknown, the winter hibernation are fertile grounds for growth. I got to dive deeper into the world of technology assisted Health Optimizing. Electro-interstitial scanning, spectroscopy, Voice Analysis, medical thermography, plasma light therapy, ion induction, PEMF, bioresonance integrated with functional medicine and biohacking.

Thus, I am returning to the service of You, with a fresh perspective over life and healing.

testimonials

You are a rare practitioner with your ability to treat the individual. Not only are you able to identify what is best for the patient, but you also advise the order in which someone needs to address their issues. Many people throw the same treatment at everyone. You do not do that. You see the individual and then advise the diet, exercise, yoga practice, meditation, and lifestyle that is best for that individual based on where they are at that point in their life and health journey. You know how to read the subtle communications of the body and what they are telling us about what is off and needs adjusting and realigning. Most people don't notice the things that you do, but you have the keys to unlocking people's happiness and health

I feel that sessions with you encompass many layers of my being and koshas. On top of that, you understand the tantric practices that I do and how they can impact the body. Many doctors out there are still questioning vegetarianism, let alone all the rest. I believe that if I need a further (traditional) clinic exam and investigation, you'll suggest me that. I feel more comfortable sharing how I am really feeling. Also, I feel more seen (on an emotional level) and holistically treated.

You are to me a healing wizard. The way you combine biomedical science with the healing wisdom of the eastern traditions is deeply inspiring and unique. You are incredibly knowledgeable of the Eastern healing traditions yet at the same time very grounded in western science and as such can offer a healing path that I feel is grounded, solid and trustworthy for many. Working with you has allowed me to work through many layers of health challenges over the years. The homeopathy guidance, ongoing support and deep wisdom that you share have been invaluable to me and my path of personal growth and inner healing. It has also on numerous occasions supported me to trust even deeper and to be able to stay positive and courageous.

You bring a unique combination of skills into a coaching/ therapy situation where you combine all your therapeutic knowledge and skills with your spiritual tantric knowledge. This provides the ability for me to safely explore while being able to surrender to my darkest wounds to generate a deep healing pathway of facing my fears and insecurities that are sabotaging my life. You are strong and compassionate sometimes holding up the mirror brutally when needed but also providing just the right amount of compassion. Your deep understanding of symbology is particularly significant. This is a much deeper journey than with a standard doctor, psychologist, psychotherapist or coach

Your work is effective, you go deep, to the core. You take us to the depths, where it’s difficult to look. Without you as a guide, it would not be possible. The rewards are significant.
