About me

Life is a Divine game - a magical, multidimensional journey where every moment is sacred.

I believe we incarnated at this time to blossom - to awaken our full potential, release what is not aligned and co-create a more beautiful and loving planet for all.

My mission is to support the awakening of Divine Humans through my healing arts, guiding them to remember who they truly are and helping them create their Soul-aligned life.

It is my joy and honor to be walking this path - playing, learning and sharing what I am most passionate about!

🙏🏻💞🌸✨

TIME TRAVEL

The begining

I was born in Belgrade, Serbia in 1989. in a loving family on the same day as Frida Khalo. The stars aligned with my Sun in Cancer, Moon in Leo, and Capricorn Ascendant. In Human Design - a 6/2 Projector. I believed in magic and spent most of my time drawing, writing and dancing around. I had my first group exhibition when I was 5 - when I made a serious decision that I would be an artist when I grow up!

Studies

I studied Illustration, Animation & Communication Design and spent years focusing on perfecting my craft. I was learning, drawing, erasing and growing. And as my passion was getting stronger and my work getting better, I became an overachiever and a perfectionist, having a hard time resting and burning out many times.

Art career

My passion and ambition led me to co-found an art and design studio when I was only 21 (and have it for 9 years), receive a D&AD award and Masters degree in London, create 6 solo exhibitions, contribute to many group shows, and collaborate on projects with diverse clients. My career was rising.

Going deeper

At the same time, something was missing. I was often feeling stressed and confused, suffocated in my own bubble. I was insecure, my achievements weren’t fulfilling, my old habits weren’t serving me anymore, and I was craving for a big change. I was ready to dive deeper, to discover what else is there.

Healing practices

I started finding my balance by practicing daily yoga and meditation. Curiosity led me to experience many different healing practices, Women’s Circles and plant medicines, become an Angelic Reiki and Master Reiki practitioner and receive an initiation into Clear Light Healing. My inner and outer life was transforming and I poured this inspiration into art.

My teachers

I had many wonderful teachers throughout the years. With their support and my commitment to inner work, a lot of shattering and awakening, I cleared my channel and started hearing my Higher Self and Spirit Guides! They helped me activate my intuitive gifts from other lifetimes and gave me a strong message - "You are a healer"!

Letting go

At first I wasn’t willing to follow that path but my whole life turned upside down when I burned out while preparing a solo exhibition in Tulum, Mexico and couldn’t paint anymore! Letting go of my habits, attachments and goals was hard, but I kept hearing and feeling a deeper call. After a few months, I finally surrendered, slowed everything down and started developing my energy work, allowing my healing tools to arise. 

Realignment

Slowely I found trust, confidence and fell in love with this newly opened world! The ups and downs started making sense and I saw my Soul's purpose and path! After two years of solely focusing my work on healing sessions and circles, painting and designing came back into my life! It all merged together into what I now call my Healing Arts - many forms of one intention - to inspire and help others hear and trust the true calling of their Hearts.

Here & now

After many years of inner and outer travels, I am now happily rooted in Calgary, Canada with my husband Andy, sharing my work in person and online. I feel like that child again, the one that feels magic, meets life with an open heart, truthfully expressing herself and playfully growing with every new day! I feel so grateful for what is here and what is yet to come, co-creating a more beautiful world with every new now.
