I’ve always been fascinated by the invisible laws that govern human relationships. Why do some people — seemingly completely different — become best friends, while others with similar temperaments struggle to get along? When it came time to choose a profession, I reframed the question: “What do I want to learn?” The answer led me to study Philosophy and Psychology.
In 2005, I graduated with a degree in Psychology from the newly established Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology. That same year, I moved to Japan — a pivotal experience that would deepen my understanding of human interaction across cultures.
Living in Japan introduced me to the grace of Japanese etiquette and the country’s exceptional standards of hospitality. Working at Inagawa Motoko Office, an international modeling agency in Tokyo, I engaged with people from all over the world in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment. I observed firsthand how cultural differences emerged most clearly in moments of stress — when people reverted to their most instinctive behaviors.
In 2012, I returned to Russia and entered the corporate world, joining agricultural holding company RAV. New to both the agricultural sector and office culture, I decided to deepen my understanding by earning an MBA in 2014. This period challenged me professionally and personally, and ultimately helped me re-evaluate my priorities — realizing that family and meaningful work were more important than ambition alone.
In 2016, we relocated to Azerbaijan. I immersed myself in Islamic culture and volunteered in several community projects, including the Alternatives to Violence program, which promotes peaceful conflict resolution.
Our next chapter brought us to Saudi Arabia in 2018. There, I had the privilege of studying Arabic at a women’s university and witnessing historic social changes — including the lifting of the abaya requirement and the legalisation of women driving. Living through this era of reform left a deep and lasting impression on me.
In 2022, our family moved to rural Australia. Our home was 100 km from the nearest supermarket and 60 km from the nearest primary school — with just 17 students. This remote life offered a unique perspective on simplicity and resilience.It was here that I began a new chapter — studying kinesiology at O’Neill Kinesiology College in Perth.
In 2025, I will graduate as a certified kinesiologist. This journey brings together everything I care about: the connection between body and mind, emotional awareness, subtle energy work, and the opportunity to help people restore balance in their lives. For me, this isn’t just a profession — it’s a purpose
