Joy and Vitality Centre

I have always been passionate about living an active, healthy life style. I grew up dancing and competing in Track and Field, so when I was introduced to yoga it was theperfect fit for my life. When I was 18 I had my second knee surgery and had to give up dance and track and I was devastated. During this time yoga was my saving grace and I became immersed in it as a means of healing my body and soul. I have been practicing yoga for the last 10 years and am a 400 hr RYT certified to teach Buti yoga. I feel a lightness in my heart when I am practicing yoga, and it is my wish to share yoga with others.

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.

In April 2015, she created KindnessCrewCALGARY Society Ltd. and has made it a personal mission to perform many random acts of kindness.  With the help of friends and family many missions are being realized.  The focus is on the homeless and to date we have donated hundreds of blessing bags, 100 backpacks,  hundreds of blankets and towels, clothes and other items.  For Christmas 2020, KindnessCrewCalgarySociety Ltd collected over a thousand pair of socks for donation to the homeless.

She is an inspirational woman warrior.  She was diagnosed with cancer in 2011 and she is not a victim! She is a survivor and a thriver!!!  Her journey through cancer reached a low when she was so scared that she asked  God, “Why me?”  That moment was a pivotal point in her life as she realized Why not me???  It opened the way for healing,  by the “Grace of God”,  and allowed her to expand her spiritual awareness.  She knew through the practice of gratitude that there were many blessings to be counted even on those days that were challenging.  Like that saying “every day may not be good, but there is good in every day!” and also none of us are promised tomorrow so just make today the best day ever.  Yesterday is gone.  Forget it.  You too can “embrace Grace” and heal mind, body and spirit.

Through all the love Giuliana has, she is open to being of service.  She is a teacher, a leader, an author and mostly a loving soul whose purpose is to remind you of the TRUTH.  You are LOVE and you are not ALONE!

Giuliana has a certificate in Health Information Management from SAIT and  brings 32 years of Health Information Privacy, Safety and Integrity to her business as well as a complex knowledge of  diagnosis, treatment, procedures, drugs and chemicals.  She has also been a Medical Terminology Instructor at SAIT.  Giuliana is firmly rooted in her Faith and has a bigger spiritual awareness now.  She knows we come from LOVE we are LOVE and we return to LOVE.

Giuliana has been married for 34 years and has one 23 year old son. She has a fur baby Maxie. She is proud of her family!

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.
