WELCOME TO MY STORY

In 2015, heeding to a violent call for an abrupt, drastic life-change that I didn't want or understand at the time, I quit a lucrative career as an art director at international advertising agencies that spanned from the US to Europe, and started my transformative spiritual journey around the world. Ever since, I’ve been on my own version of Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey, living a nomadic life out of a backpack: teaching yoga, creating art and volunteering at various retreat centers to share and deepen my own spiritual practice. Accompanied by my beloved harmonium,  I'm following the breadcrumbs littered by the universe on this magical path, full of seemingly overwhelming obstacles but also paved with breathtaking grace.

During this purposeful meandering, I've come to truly understand that being creative is not defined by one's job or title. Now, creativity is embedded in everything I do: the way I share yoga, write, paint, design, sing, connect... my life has become one explosive creative existence.

I've also discovered that yoga and creativity go divinely together. Spirituality is the core of creativity; and the creative process a spiritual experience. Life has brought me back full circle to combine these two passions, leading to my true calling: Create Beauty and Do It With Joy.

I'm truly happy and grateful to share all of this with you!

In love, light & beauty,

Mia

“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.”
