My story
From a long search to coming home
I was born in Ukraine and moved to the United States at 20. I lived in Chicago for about seven years before making Austin my home. My spiritual search started back in high school, and years of personal growth and inner work came before any of this.
I had read about kundalini energy and gone down a few rabbit holes. It sounded scary, but there was a part of me that felt this was going to happen to me. Then I forgot about it.
Bali, 2022
While traveling in Bali, I had a spontaneous kundalini awakening. It was profound, beautiful, and intense, and it sent me looking for a way to understand this energy and how to work with it. Read more about what a kundalini awakening is.
The first session
That search led me to a class called Kundalini Activation Process. I went in with no expectations. Watching the demonstration I felt excitement, fear and doubt, and something in me was already activating. On the mat, I cried, I screamed, I released things I had carried for years, and I touched beautiful, divine states of love. I left speechless. It felt like I was coming back home to myself for the first time in years.
Saying yes
Right after that session I signed up for the training announcements. Soon after, I was laid off from a corporate role in education where I had been successful and happy. The layoff gave me time to integrate, and my bonus covered the training in full. I could never have dreamed I would do this kind of energy work for others, but it felt aligned. I couldn't even talk myself out of it.
Years later I am still so honored to work with this energy. Life doesn't get easier, but I move through the ups and downs, and learn about myself, with much more grace and ease.
I just follow what's unfolding, and I'm in deep surrender, guided by intelligence beyond.

How I work
Trauma-informed, somatic and body-based
My approach is body-based somatic healing, rooted in embodiment work, which I practice a lot myself. People often tell me I'm deeply grounded even while working with high energy.
No story, no labels
I won't tell you “this is a blockage” or “this is that trauma.” Sensations, emotions and energy get to move as they need to, without a narrative attached.
Deep surrender
I follow what is unfolding in you, with deep presence and deep listening to your energy system and what your body needs.
The authority stays with you
Hands-on work happens only with your consent. The authority stays with you, from the first minute to the last.
Grounded as well as expansive
This work is not only about going into energy. It is nervous system regulation and coming back into your body, so you can expand from solid ground.
Since 2022

Why womb healing
A sacred place to serve
Womb healing grew out of my own exploration of embodiment, sexuality and power. To me the womb is the seat of feminine energy and feminine wisdom.
“I just deeply want to serve the womb. It feels very sacred to me.”
It is practical too: regulating the nervous system on a deep level, grounding, and coming back into the body so a woman can expand. I encourage women to explore their own bodies first, so they learn to tend to themselves. See womb healing in Austin.
The name
What Luminous Lifeforce means
Luminous Lifeforce is about coming back to your luminous nature, to your radiance. When the name came to me, “luminous” felt almost translucent: your energy becomes so clean and pure that it is nearly transparent, and it radiates.
That is what I wish for everyone I work with: to connect to their own energy and body, to process their emotions, and to come into their most alive and radiant self.
In their words
What people experience
Everyone experiences this work differently. People tell me they feel more open, more intuitive and more at home in their bodies. For some it has been life-changing.
“It's like after years of bracing, my body remembered how to unfurl and flow freely.”
“It's like a wise internal healer carefully and profoundly restores health, peace and life.”
“It feels like waves of light flowing through the fabric of my being.”
