Background

I was born and raised in Odessa, Ukraine. In the mid-1990s I left to live in Paris and worked as a fashion model for 20 years before settling in New York City. Like everyone, I’ve had my share of ups and downs; the downs have helped me grow, and I am as grateful for them as I am for the ups.

Transformation

One of the downs was back in 2016 when I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and my world flipped upside down. My feminine self and intimate life deteriorated from all the treatments and medications I was taking, especially my pelvic floor. After several attempts with popular methods in the feminine wellness space, I realized there was a lack of holistic approaches to improving female intimate health. In 2017, I embarked on a new journey to become a certified Intimate Fitness instructor. After a year of gaining vital knowledge of how to help women with intimate health through improved control of their pelvic floor muscles, I created my company Feminine Revival.

Very quickly I understood that pelvic floor muscles are not the only reason for issues related to intimate female health. More often it is related to a mental barrier, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic abuse, conservative or religious upbringing, or simply a lack of sexual education. This led to me wanting to go back to school and become a certified sexologist and educator.

Developing the method

Throughout the past six years of taking various courses and certifications from national and international organizations, I have developed a method that focuses on how to improve sexual functions and dysfunctions rooted in mental and emotional states. I wanted to create a space that promotes honest communication about people's true sexual needs and desires. Art of Arousal is one of the programs I created that focuses on pelvic floor health and through it I’ve been so lucky to put my knowledge and years of practice to work for so many women — of all ages, from all walks of life — and to help them heal and blossom.
