My Story
Therapeutic Bodywork is my passion, my way and my life. I started to study bodywork and massage therapy because of my family. My younger brother was born with a mild form of Cerebral Palsy. During his early childhood my family was on a mission to improve his health condition. My parents were looking for the most effective new therapy methods and rehabilitation. They spent years in order to get it under control, and they succeeded. My brother now is a healthy, strong man. He works as a Therapeutic Bodywork Practitioner in Russia (Krasnodar)
Another reason why I started studying Massage and Bodywork was my sports activities and boxing career. I found that massage is the best and fastest way for me and other athletes to recuperate after training and competitions.
After moving to the USA I have continued to practice therapeutic bodywork and massage. I also continued to do boxing and later started Muay Thai (Thai boxing). I even became California champion.
I’m very grateful to my Family, Teachers and Coaches. Because of their support, love and wisdom I became a Therapeutic Bodywork professional and now, I can help you! This is my mission and I believe I’m doing a Great job!
