    ABOUT

    About me

     

    My path has always been about connection — through listening, through reflection, and through finding words that bring deeper understanding.
    I trained as a therapist, studied with teachers and guides across modalities, and spent years exploring the ways the human heart finds balance again.
    Over time, I realized that healing happens not through effort, but through presence, through remembering who we already are.

    My work now integrates the depth of therapeutic awareness with the quiet intelligence of presence.
    It’s not about analysis or fixing, but about allowing clarity to emerge in its own rhythm.
    I guide people through a process of soft restoration, helping them return to the simplicity of being, where insight and calm arise naturally.

    In every meeting, I offer a space of grounded stillness and gentle truth.
    Clients describe it as both spacious and practical, a place where breath slows, and what truly matters becomes clear again.
    Each session, gathering, or reflection is an invitation to return to yourself, to the calm, clear awareness that has always been here.

    My Approach

     

    My work is rooted in presence — in meeting each person exactly where they are, without judgment or agenda.

    I listen and reflect what wants to be seen.
    This process is intuitive yet grounded, guided by awareness of the body, emotions, and the quiet intelligence that lives beneath thought.

    Each meeting unfolds in its own rhythm.
    Sometimes we work through conversation and reflection, sometimes through silence, gentle inquiry, or body awareness.
    We may identify patterns that create tension, bring clarity to emotions, or reconnect you with what feels steady and true inside.
    Together, we create space for what has been held tightly, allowing it to soften, move, and reveal its deeper message.

    This work is both subtle and practical.
    It helps you make clearer decisions, navigate relationships with more ease, and meet daily challenges without losing your center.
    Over time, people often notice more calm, confidence, and natural self-trust, a quiet sense that life can be met from within.

    My intention is simple — to hold a space of clarity and stillness where what is essential can be remembered and lived.

    Working Together - Common Questions

     

    How is this different from therapy or coaching?
    While my background includes therapeutic training, this work moves differently.
    It’s not about diagnosis, fixing, or goal-setting.
    We bring attention to what’s alive in the moment and allow it to reveal what needs to be seen.
    Instead of analyzing or solving, we listen and create space, and within that space, clarity and change begin to emerge naturally.

    What happens in a session?
    Each session is shaped by what you bring that day.
    We might begin with conversation, reflection, or silence, following what feels true in the moment.
    I often draw on awareness-based and body-centered techniques, guided inquiry, and mindfulness or energy practices.
    You may receive simple exercises or reflections to explore between sessions, supporting the work’s integration in daily life.

    Is this work right for me if I’ve never done inner work before?
    Yes.
    You don’t need prior experience, only curiosity and a willingness to meet yourself honestly.
    This work meets you where you are, whether you come with specific challenges or simply a longing for clarity, calm, and ease. 

    How do I begin?
    You’re welcome to schedule a complimentary 30-minute introductory meeting — a simple conversation to sense whether this space feels right for you.

     “I came to Antonina during a messy, emotional time.
    She didn’t try to fix or diagnose, she just listened and reflected, and somehow that presence helped me settle.
    Over time, I started feeling more at home in myself.
    I still don’t fully understand how it works, I just know I feel different.”

     “I’ve worked with different therapists and coaches, but Antonina’s approach is unlike any of them.
    She has this quiet precision and she sees patterns instantly but never makes you feel judged.
    I leave every session clearer and lighter, and usually with one or two very practical things to work on between meetings.”

    Emotional Burnout

    Emotional Burnout

     “I didn’t expect much from the first session. I just wanted to feel less overwhelmed.
    But something about how Antonina listened and saw me shifted everything.
    She does not push or analyze, she somehow helps me hear what I’ve been trying to say to myself for years.
    It’s subtle but life-changing.”
