During this time, I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, at the Academy of Qing-Bai. The deep dedication for these studies solidified my understanding and energetic embodiment of the interconnected web of the body, mind, and spirit. 

In 2016 I decided to change my life radically. I did not feel a resonance of the city life anymore and was deeply yearning to be more connected to nature and a conscious community. I realised I needed to go on a deep journey of transformation; to connect to nature in order heal my childhood wounds. These wounds kept me from being fully present in my daily life and created an overwhelming amount of tension in my dreams.

I felt a calling to create a new path of purpose. I had a vision to live in the jungle where I can walk barefoot on the ground, and create new connections. I ended up in Koh Phangan, Thailand where I was introduced to the transformational power of Tantra. This created a deep shift in my process and helped me realise ways we can go deep into a healing journey while staying connected to the beauty and love of the present moment, which makes the process much more efficient and exciting.

From there I was inspired to guide others on this path. I completed several trainings in the practice of Shamanic Tantra with Anna Maria Hernmarck in Bali, followed by a 6 month online immersion course at the Tantrika Institute with Christopher Hareesh Wallis, a completion of the Tantra teacher training of Ma Ananda Sarita (chakra 1 to 4) and studied the Universal Healing Taoist teachings of Mantak Chia. 

From then onwards, I developed my own courses and workshops.

For the last several years, I have been facilitating Tantra and Breathwork retreats and sessions around the world. I use my experience as a therapist in the clinical field to create a safe space in my retreats for healing and transformation.
