I'm an Ayurvedic practitioner, animist, and emotional healing guide. What brought me to this work was years of not being okay, chronic symptoms, disordered eating, a long disconnection from my own body, and eventually getting tired of pretending otherwise.

At some point, I stopped trying to manage my symptoms and started listening to them. That changed everything. What was happening in my body was connected to something deeper - emotionally, energetically, in the way I'd been living. The path from there to actually getting better was slow and unglamorous. That's a big part of why I do this work.

This practice grew from what I learned along the way: the body is intelligent, we are nature and healing becomes possible when we return to that relationship.

I live in the jungle of Costa Rica, surrounded by trees, a swimming pond and more wildlife than I ever planned to share my life with. The land here is part of the work and I respectfully acknowledge that I live and practice on the ancestral territory of the Huetar people, the traditional keepers of this land.

Bosaya - the name behind this path, means barefoot in Russian, my mother tongue. Feet on the earth. In direct contact with what holds us. That's the simplest way I know to describe what this work is really about.
