Hello, it is nice to meet you
This is a short story about me:
I am fun, but determined and responsible - a fun brainiac you might say. I love to travel. I am zen, but not too much. Artistic, but with both feet on the ground.
I was born in Serbia from a Serbian father and Venezuelan mother. For the first seven years of my life I lived in Serbia, Russia and Venezuela. That's how my traveling and moving germ was planted, I guess...
I grew up in Belgrade with my grandparents, both doctors. This is where my love and fascination for the human body comes from. Since I am terribly scared of blood, I had to disappoint them both, and not follow their path, but instead I appreciated and studied the human body through my pencil and brush, completing five years of art university.
When I was thirty years old, I moved to Canada, the country that became home. Canada also gave me the opportunity to learn about the body through massage therapy which introduced the holistic approach to body and soul. During that period I stumbled upon a program where parents are taught how to massage their babies - The International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM). I was enchanted! I became a Certified Instructor of Infant Massage (CIMI) and set a personal mission and goal to bring the program to my native country of Serbia. This dream came true in 2013, and after two years of hard work I initiated the forming of the Serbian Chapter. I still serve proudly as an active member of the Board of Directors even though love brought me overseas. I married Mark and moved to the Bay Area in 2015.
Expanding my passion to work with infants and their parents, I became a Musical Baby Bonding™ instructor in 2017.
In 2018 I received my 200 hrs. Yoga Teacher Training certificate. I am planning to specialize in prenatal yoga, yoga for mommies and babies, and restorative yoga. Stay tuned!
It is a true pleasure to meet you- the one who is reading these lines.
If you have any questions or wish to meet me in person... please contact me. I would love to hear from you!
Yours truly,
Marija
