For over 17 years, I’ve been on a transformative journey, not just through the world of beauty and wellness, but through my own life. From law degrees to acting, I’ve explored many paths, but it was beauty that ultimately revealed my true purpose. Along the way, I’ve learned that real transformation comes not from external changes, but from unlocking the power within. Today, I run a thriving beauty studio in London, and I’ve learned that confidence, freedom, and inner power are the real essence of beauty. This is my story of finding that inner strength and how you can too.

What first drew you to the world of beauty and wellness over 17 years ago?

It all started with a search for myself. At that time, I already had two degrees — in law and acting — but neither became my life’s work. I changed almost 25 different jobs: an oil company, event organizations, and even working in a school… I didn’t leave because I couldn’t cope — I left because it wasn’t me.

And then beauty entered my life — unexpectedly, but forever. It started when I wanted to learn threading (eyebrow shaping with a thread). In our culture, this didn’t exist (and still barely does), so I understood I was learning a rare art. I volunteered for two years, watching my mentor and practicing every day, dreaming, “I want to be as professional as she is.”

When I realized I could do it, a new goal appeared: go further. I had no medical background then, so I went for a third degree. I earned my qualification in aesthetic medicine — and stayed in beauty for good.

Since 2010, I’ve been in this field. Today, I run my beauty studio in London, and I know this: beauty is not about a mask. It’s about confidence, freedom, and inner power.

You’ve lived in many different parts of the world. How have those experiences shaped you?

The world turned out to be far more incredible than I ever imagined.

Childhood in the Far East, harsh Northern lands, vibrant Ukraine — it all seemed huge, until I moved to London. Then I saw the other half of the planet. Different values, a different rhythm, a different sky.

This experience taught me one thing:

Life is limitless — if you are ready to live it.

And I still haven’t lost that sense of wonder. I’m a romantic who believes in miracles — and the world keeps proving me right.

What inspired you to write From Fear to Love?

This book was born out of my breakthrough. Imagine: 15 years of debt, constant anxiety, living in survival mode. I thought the problem was money. It turned out the problem was fear.

When I shifted from fear to love, I did in one year what I couldn’t do in fifteen. Debts disappeared. Opportunities came. Life changed.

And I understood one truth:

“Money isn’t math. It’s emotion. Fear blocks. Love multiplies.”

I wrote the book so every woman could see:

Your life changes not when money comes, but when fear leaves.

Tell us about your game, Meeting with Facets. How does it help women discover themselves?

It’s not just a game — it’s a story of my life.

When the world froze for two years, I hit my zero point: a divorce in London, debt, uncertainty. I decided to go back to my parents, but they refused to take me in because of the virus. So, I ended up… in the Maldives.

Imagine: an island, silence, the ocean, and me. My friend left me in charge of his guesthouse and disappeared into an election campaign. There were almost no tourists; the world was closed. And there, in total calm, it happened — my archetype system was born. Nine facets. A complete understanding of how they work, how they connect with our power, money, and love.

It was like an awakening. I wrote, structured, and created the foundation for what would become the game. When I returned to London, I began sharing it, running sessions — and I saw: it works.

Debts gone. New projects. A new life. That became the result of what started on that island. Then came the book, the game, the course. All born from practice, not theory. Because I believe:

A system must create real-life results — not stay a beautiful idea on paper.

How do your retreats in the Maldives blend beauty, therapy, and personal growth?

For me, the Maldives is not just a place. It’s where everything changes.

When I look at the ocean, I don’t just see water. I see a liquid screen into another world — a world where you release the past, cleanse, and reset. Here, people let go of noise and reconnect with themselves.

That’s why I created the retreat “Aphrodite in the Maldives.” It’s not a vacation for pictures — it’s a space for rebirth. As a guide, I support every woman on that path: I help, I witness, I hold the space for her transformation.

The Maldives is my personal power point. And I know: for many, it will become the beginning of a new life.

What does transformation mean to you — not just in beauty, but in life?

“Transformation” is such a buzzword today. For me, it’s not about a glow-up or a new look.

Transformation is when your life changes — and the space around you changes with it. People who refuse to grow leave. Those who share your energy come. And suddenly you realize: your dreams are closer than yesterday.

It’s about reshaping your inner world so your desires become reality. When you change inside, the outside rearranges itself.

“Transformation is when your dreams move closer — and the world changes with you.”

What’s one powerful lesson you’ve learned from working with women?

Women are incredibly powerful. But most of the time, they spend this power on everyone but themselves: on work, family, and other people’s expectations.

When a woman brings her energy back to herself, everything shifts — her relationships, her career, her happiness.

And another truth: every woman thinks her pain is unique. But at the root, it’s almost always the same — the fear of being herself.

 “At the root of women’s pain is always the same — the fear of being herself.”

How do music, poetry, and travel influence your work and creativity?

Music heals what logic cannot.

Poetry says what ordinary words can’t.

Travel reminds you: there are no borders — not in the world, not in you.

These three things feed my soul. They shape every idea, every new creation. Without them, I’d just be a practitioner. With them, I create.

What kind of topics are you most excited to write about as a columnist?

I want to write about what truly changes lives: power and money, love and fear, identity and freedom.

Through the language of archetypes, I explain why we do what we do — and how to stop living on autopilot. I’m drawn to honest, deep conversations without the gloss, where real strategies meet metaphors and insights.

“I’m interested in honest conversations without gloss — about power, fear, and strategies that work.”

What message would you love to share with women around the world?

Stop searching outside for what already lives inside you.

Everything you seek — love, confidence, freedom, power — is already within you.

Your archetypes hold the code. Learn it. Unlock it.

The world changes when you stop being “less than yourself.”

Be your full version. Because the future belongs to women who know who they are.
