🌿 PART 1: Awakening & Life Path

Q: You’ve shared that your spiritual awareness began early in this lifetime—what did that experience feel like as it unfolded?
Yes… from a very young age, I was aware of many things that others around me didn’t seem to notice. I could see beings—spirits, entities from another dimension—and for a child, that was very frightening. I didn’t have any support from my family or friends, and no one understood what was happening to me.

So I learned to close myself off. I kept everything inside—what I saw, what I felt, and what my intuition was telling me about people. I became very silent about my inner world. It was something I carried alone for a long time.

Q: When did your past life memories begin to surface, and how have they influenced your path?
My past life memories came very naturally, from a very early age. It was never something I tried to access—it simply existed within me, like an inner memory that was always there.

I remember many lives—sometimes entire lifetimes, sometimes just fragments. I’ve lived as a woman, as a man, as a child… even dying as a child in some of those memories. I recall lives in different parts of the world, especially in India, where I feel I’ve lived many times.

Sometimes, when I visit certain places, these memories come alive again—as if I’m transported back to that life. It happens spontaneously, without any technique. It’s something that has deeply shaped my understanding of life, death, and the continuity of the soul.

Q: Was there a pivotal moment when you fully committed to this journey?
It wasn’t a single moment—it was a process, and not an easy one. For many years, I resisted it. When you are a child and you point to someone and ask, “Who is that?” and no one else can see them, you begin to question your sanity.

I went through that doubt. I questioned myself deeply.

But over time, I started noticing something important—what I saw in dreams, what I heard internally, what I sensed… it began to happen in reality. Events would unfold exactly as I had perceived them. That was when I understood that I was not imagining things—something real was happening.

Around the age of 20 or 21, I began to consciously accept this. From that point on, it became a gradual journey of integration—understanding my visions, my sensitivity, and my abilities.

There were also moments when people asked me to place my hands on them because they were in pain, and the pain disappeared. This happened many times.

Slowly, I stopped resisting. I began to accept who I am and integrate it into my life.

✨ PART 2: Reiki & Energy Healing

Q: You became a Reiki Master in 1999—what initially drew you to Reiki?
The first time I encountered Reiki was in 1989. I received my first initiation, but I didn’t connect with it—especially not with the master. So I stepped away.

Ten years later, in 1999, I felt drawn to Reiki again. By that time, I was already helping people by placing my hands on them, supporting healing on physical, emotional, and mental levels. It came naturally, but I didn’t understand it.

Reiki gave me that understanding. It provided a clear and grounded explanation for what I had been doing intuitively all my life. It helped me recognize myself as a healer.

Q: How has your understanding of energy healing evolved over the years?
It evolved through practice—through Reiki, but also through life itself.

For many years, I was healing without knowing what I was doing. Looking back, I can see that even as a child, I was using this energy to heal my own wounds and traumas.

When I became a Reiki Master, I began working as a therapist, and that deepened my experience. Then in 2009, I became a Reiki Master Teacher and started initiating others.

This journey has been a continuous evolution—through practice, experience, and guiding others.

Q: For someone new, how would you explain Reiki in simple terms?
Reiki is very simple.

Everything is energy—we are energy, the universe is energy, the divine is energy. Reiki is the awareness of this truth.

It is about allowing this energy to flow through us. We become channels—first to heal ourselves, and then to support the healing of others.

Q: What are some common misconceptions people have about energy healing?
People are often afraid of what they don’t understand. They tend to see energy healing as something mysterious or strange.

There’s a belief that healers are doing something supernatural—but there is no mystery in it.

Healing is life. Life is energy. Life is connection with the divine.

When people understand that, the misconceptions disappear. It becomes something simple, natural, and human.

🌍 PART 3: Retreats & Healing Work

Q: You began leading retreats in 1999—what inspired you to create these spaces?
Like everything in my life, it flowed naturally.

I saw that people were lost. They didn’t understand themselves or their relationships. At the same time, I began receiving guidance—from my guides, from my masters.

I don’t feel that I create my retreats alone. Everything I offer comes through that guidance. I simply follow what I am guided to do.

A retreat is a space where you step away from daily life and go deeper within. It’s about reconnecting with yourself, with nature, with the divine, and with knowledge that helps you live better.

Q: What does a typical retreat experience with you look like?
It’s not easy to define a “typical” retreat, because each one is unique. But at its core, it is about awareness.

It’s about observing life—what nature shows you, what the divine brings into your experience—and learning acceptance.

One important teaching is that knowledge alone is not enough. Transformation happens when knowledge is put into practice.

When participants open their hearts and truly engage, they reach a deeper connection with themselves and with the divine. That’s where wisdom begins.

Q: How do you integrate yoga, Reiki, and meditation into one journey?
For me, they are all part of the same path.

Yoga is the understanding of the body, breath, and life itself.
Reiki is the awareness of energy and how we use it for healing.
Meditation is the tool that brings everything together.

Together, they create a complete journey—body, mind, and energy in alignment.

Q: What kind of transformation do participants usually experience?
It’s always beautiful to witness.

People often arrive closed, with doubts and confusion. But day by day, they begin to open and connect more deeply with themselves and with life.

The main transformations happen in three areas:

  • Mindset
  • Beliefs
  • Behavior

When these change, everything changes.

If someone leaves with a new perspective about themselves and life, then the purpose of the retreat is fulfilled.

✨ Closing Note

This journey, for me, has always been about acceptance, practice, and connection—with ourselves, with others, and with the divine.
