I am a Certified Coach working by International Standards of ICF (International Coaching Federation) and a Certified Holistic Nutritionist.

I work in three areas:

1: Coaching (almost all life issues, but focus on development, purpose, limiting beliefs, difficulty of choice, lack of resources, doubts and fears)
- Long-term support for bold and deep goals, from 3 months, payment monthly, 3-4 sessions per month. $ 210 / month
- Short-term support from 3 sessions $ 70 / session

2: Wellness Coaching ( energy, losing weight, normalizing nutrition, developing healthy habits, switching to a healthy lifestyle, optimizing body resources)
- the cost is the same as pure coaching ($ 70) , but sessions alternate with consultations, you do more homework).
-
For both of the above services - 15 minute CIM - Complementary Introduction Meeting (audio, video)

3: Hashimoto HLS (healthy life style) - Accompaniment to normalize life with a diagnosis of Hashimoto's or Hypothyroidism. My personal experience of 25+ years, NOT medical advice (!), But I can share with you what to ask from doctors and invaluable support with the use of coaching.
- The service is new, a desire to help rather than for earnings. With donation (I don’t believe in free).

Contact me in the messager, by phone or email.

We have a tradition in Russia to make "meat salad" or "olivye" salad for NY celebrations.
My modified salad doesn't have mayo, and potato content is minimal.
The ingredients:
+ boiled potato
+ boiled carrots
+ pickles
+ canned sweet peas
+ boiled eggs
+ protein (this year it is chicken hearts, but usually I put beef tongue or calamari)
Plus, I add
+ fresh cucumbers
+ fresh dill
+ fresh oregano leaves
+ pepper
Bon appetite 😋

Please listen and analyze,
Stop and think,
Stop, meditate 5 minutes and watch it again,

Just allow the information to go through the obstacles of fear, peer pressure, public opinion, and politicized "common sense"

Perfect light lunch!
🥑🥬🥗🍽
It is simple, as always here:
greens bedding (purple kale, collards, parsley, Swiss chard) Sauerkrat (i have Russian style, but even kimchi will do) Avocado Olive oil Oregano (dried) Pepper Black salt (optional) Pumpkin seeds (optional)
🌰
To make a more fulfilling version just add whole grains (quinoa, buckwheat, millet) and/or legumes (chickpeas, beans), and other seeds like flaxseed, h**p seeds, sunflower seeds etc.
❗ Remember to soak and cook your grains, legumes and to soak and dry your nuts and seeds (sprouting is an important step here as I mentioned in previous posts)

🥰 It was my favorite birthday celebration in last 40 years!
🤩
It's hard to say that because I left all my loved ones at home and went alone to spend my day with the ocean.
🌊
I really believe in the power of manifestation, visualization and feeling like the dream has came true.
✨
I have decided to spend my birthday in the most comfortable settings for the soul. I wanted to feel myself and be with myself where I want to be and do what I like to do.
✔
So I've got all I wanted: The place with ocean view 🎑 (sunrise, day view with waves and seagulls, sunset, the full moon at night - all those beauties were right in my window) in a beautiful hotel A bathtub 🛀 (and I brought salts, rose petals, nice oils after the bath) 2 hours of SUP ride, challenging because of sloppy waves, close to the seals, and a lot of talking out loud with The Ocean 🌊 and The World 🌎 . A delicious seafood dinner with a treat with a candle 🦞 1 beautiful sunset, 1 amazing sunrise, 1 full moon night... Where else and when thd world could give it to me all st once?! A lot of good omens, signs. I believed and noticed them. Wonderful feeling - like the Universe is talking to me.

🥳 Happy 40th!

Happy pumpkin soup.
My last soup while I'm in 30's :)
And I am happy to be that old and got to live my life to this moment. Also, I am enjoying the present moment with gratitude.

This year is very unusual, right? And my Birthday celebration will be unusual. I have never had it like it will be, never! So excited!!!
Can you guess what will be different?
Clue: after everything happened to this point in 2020, with all the thoughts and revelations... what would one want for her 40th birthday? :)

Halloween is about Change and New Image for me. I love trying new looks. And in our lives, I believe it's good and useful to try new images, new roles.
🤪 If you don't like long term obligations and commitments, just try something new: New diet New hobby New exercise New look New book New people
With time you will feel how you like the new thing, does it suit you? Does it challenge you?
❗ Remember, many things need more time to feel the real taste. Sometimes you need to go over some inconvenience or discomfort to feel the real goodness.
🥳 Let's celebrate variety of choices and our willingness to try new things!

Beautiful dish for friends gathering in October:
*Pumpkin and broccoli hash* from the book . I put it in the baked pumpkin for the esthetic reason.
🎃 No sweeteners in here. Only natural sweetness of pumpkin strengthen by cinnamon and coconut butter.
🎃 Just before serving add some yogurt on top.

🙊 Life happens.. sometimes we do things we are not supposed to do. I stead if blaming ourselves and deciding to quit the journey to the optimal health, fix the issue and stay on track.
❓ What to do if you ate too much sugar?
❗Eat some protein and fiber
Stabilize your blood sugar by eating some slow-digesting protein and fiber.
🔄 If you don't, your blood sugar will crash and you'll potentially feel hungry and want to eat again.
🍏🌰 Great snack options are an apple and nut butter, a hard boiled egg and pistachios, or hummus and veggies.

Started I quit sugar detox from and thus recipe from is so much help when I feel craving for "smth" (probably sugar, right?).
😋 Frozen raspberries
Coconut cream
Pure Vanilla
It is SOOO good!!! It is sour! If you are not on sugarless diet, add some hobey/agave/sweetener to make it less sour. I love sour, so it's perfect for me!
