Nice to meet you!
I am a dog person, yoga practitioner (on and off the mat), tea drinker, tree hugger, plant whisperer, traveler, empath and over-thinker. Oh, and I have a deep reverence for babies.
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...
When I was thirty years old, I moved to Canada and studied massage therapy which introduced the holistic approach to body and soul. During that period I came across The International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM). I was enchanted!
In 2013 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.
In 2015 I formed the Serbian Chapter of the IAIM and moved to the US.
My husband Mark and myself moved from California to Richmond in 2023.
