Let me introduce myself.  First and foremost, I am a human being, just like you. 

My consulting business came to exist as a calling.  Over the years I worked for other people, one of my jobs involved nutritional consulting.  As I became close to the people in my life, many of them shared with me that they were abused as children.  Of all the people who opened up to me, more were abused than the ones who had perfect childhoods.  I started working with them using my academic knowledge and intuition.  I have achieved very good results. 

  I, myself, have walked a mile in your shoes.  I was emotionally abused as a child and raped as a teenager.  When I reached my twenties, I finally decided to face my issues.  It took me several years to even admit that my rape was still unresolved.  It was very hard work to learn to enjoy life, to be happy.  Happiness takes the most work compared to everything else I have accomplished.  I was born and raised in Moscow, Russia.  I came to the United States after high school because I could not take the abuse any longer.  I learned to speak English, went to college.  I have a degree in Foreign Languages and a Bachelor’s in Biology.  I worked in a lab growing bacteria and performing elaborate tests.  I counseled people on the subject of their health, nutrition and supplements.  I became very good at it.  One customer dropped her cholesterol by 60 points in 3 weeks, another one lost 12 pounds in one week, an 84-year-old stroke victim who could not even open her eyes signed a card for her husband.  All of these things were easy as long as I did not have to face ME.  My sex life was a disaster, my health was terrible, and I was still very young.  Too young to have arthritis, heart palpitations, bad skin and depression.  Ironically, my poor health saved me from substance abuse.  However, I wanted to get better.  And so I did.  The work never ends, but I can honestly say that I am happy and healthy.  I enjoy life.  I like myself.  I know I deserve good things in life.  And so do you.

Let me help you.  I cannot do the work for you because your problems are in your head.  But I can guide you, hold you when you cry, show you that it’s okay to be angry, it’s okay to be hurt, allow you to express those emotions without judgment.

I live by very simple principles: The Hippocratic Oath, Rudyard Kipling’s poem ‘If ’ and  the first amendment of the Constitution: you have a RIGHT to happiness.  It is not a privilege like your driver’s license, it is a right.
