I grew up in the Polish mountains. Since childhood I observed my father’s interests in the herbalism, reflexology, acupuncture and energy healing. Many times, I heard from local healers about my aura and my abilities. I always knew that I have a gift in my hands and that people feel a sense of ease and comfort near me. After I moved to the United States, I started to have reoccurring dreams about bodywork and massage. In 2006 I went to Chicago School of Massage Therapy to learn more about the manual therapies. In 2007 I became licensed massage therapist in the State of Illinois. I worked in chiropractic offices, fitness centers and spas but I noticed that I was pulled towards gentle, energy healing modalities. In 2008 I took some lymphatic drainage classes, then in 2008 I took first Reiki Class that connected me deeply with myself. My biggest jump in the healing arts profession was in 2009/2010 when I've met my future husband who taught Craniosacral therapy at the Sacred Journey Institute. I became a certified craniosacral therapist, assistant and instructor at the Institute. I was a part owner of the Beyond Wellness Center where I practiced and taught massage therapists healing arts modalities including Sacred Journey Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, Reiki, Shamanic work, Chakra Clearing and more.

Since 2010 I’m in a private practice, where I’m practicing a combination of different massage techniques and energy work on my clients. My expertise are head/jaw/neck discomforts. I help in releasing the tension in the structures by decompression and finding alignment through balancing cerebrospinal wave rhythm. The therapies that I offer are extremely relaxing as they work directly on the nervous system. My work is gentle and powerful.
