welcome

Hi there , my name is Alla, and I often relate to myself as a Reality Explorer, viewing Life as an adventure, a captivating game we humans play. This isn't meant to diminish the experience, but to offer a more playful and adventurous perspective. 

I have spent the last twelve years in deep self-exploration through mindful observation of the body and mind. I studied Eastern philosophies, particularly Kashmir Shaivism and Buddhism, and devoted much of my time practicing yoga, meditation and somatics. 

Throughout my journey, everything consistently pointed me towards the significance of somatic awareness on the healing path. This eventually led me to study somatic psychotherapy and to hold a safe  space for others to embark on their own personal journey. 


In addition to my professional training, my approach has been shaped by years of personal, direct experience with plant medicines, and an ongoing immersion within the Shipibo lineage, an Indigenous people of the Peruvian Amazon.
