Joy and Vitality Centre

I grew up in Tyumen, Russia. When I was 2, I was diagnosed with cancer and went through chemotherapy. My mother gave my Chaga mushrooms from the local forest to boost my immune system as I went through this harsh treatment, and I believe this really helped with my recovery.

I lived in a small village where the food was never treated with chemicals and was always organic. As a young child, I loved to cook with these wholesome foods and found creating healthy meals was natural for me. I especially loved making sauerkraut with my mom and grandma.

I have always had a very strong work ethic and have enjoyed working with my hands. I remember helping my father build a sauna. It was hard work, but I found it very rewarding.

Growing up in a family that was focused on eating only whole, organic, non-processed foods, using Traditional Medicine led me to the path that I am in today.

In 2015 i became a Certified Yoga Instructor with The Alberta Yoga Teacher Training College and Certified Vibrational Sound Relaxation Master with Vibrational Sound Association to help and heal  people around the World.

I was born and raised in Russia and moved to beautiful Calgary Canadian 2004. English is not my first language, so you will see some of my Russian background and its influence on my writing style.  In my early years, I lived with my father, mother and brother in a small city Tyumen, Russia. I grew up in such a loving, respectful and very supportive family. Every second of my life I was and continue to be,surrounded with unconditional love, understanding, friendship and colossal support in every possible way from my parents, my brother and my amazing grandmothers.
