“Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.” - Sri Ramana Maharshi
About Oksana
Wisdom
​Oksana has been recognized as a healer by her teachers and has a background in Energy Medicine, Vegetalismo, Shamanic/Animism Folk Healing, Medical Qigong, Counselling, Meditation, and a list of additional training in holistic health and other healing techniques that she has been studying over the past 20 years.

As a healer, a visionary artist, a musician and a mother, she continues to grow and expands on her path of conscious awareness.

As a holistic health care practitioner, Oksana combines her formal studies with hands-on training & apprenticeship in earth-based traditional holistic health care and ancient healing practices of Shamanic Chinese Medicine. 
Oksana integrates her counselling trauma-informed skills into her healing practices.
​Her approach is to support and gently guide her clients to find empowerment and to inspire liberation from perceived limitations. ​

As a medicine woman and a ceremonialist she has been leading transformational journeys, guiding and supporting her communitity of dedicated spiritual seekers for the past 10 years.
​As a Vegetalista, working with master plants for many years, she is deeply grateful to these sacred teachers for deepening her awareness, expanding her knowledge of healing and for continuing to teach her about sacred and intimate relationship with all there is.

​Oksana continues to unlearning the many layers of conditioning, belief systems and ideas about herself to remember who she is, who we all are, and how to walk this reality with integrity, with humility, with love and gratitude. Learning what it means to be a human being and how to be one.
​The Roots and The Path
Oksana was born and raised in Russia with her immediate Slavic ancestors being from Ukraine and Russia. Her more distant ancestry runs deep within the European lands from Samis and Laplands to Celts.

She is forever grateful for being able to spent a lot of her time on the beautiful land where she was born, deeply connecting with trees, forests, rivers, lakes and seas.
She loved growning food in her garden, fishing with her dad, living in wilderness, and learning about healing properties of the common wild plants that were a part of her surroundings.
​Sounds and sights of Nature were and still are the best medicine to her heart and the healing balm to her being.
Some of her favorites are the sounds of crickets at night,  frogs at the river and fireflies that inspire magic and mystery within her. :)

As a first generation immigrant to Canada over twenty years ago in her mid twenties, it was one of the bravest and hardest things she has done.
Different language, different mentality and a very different way of life in North America took some time to adjust to. ​
​Even though she has been through many challenges and hardships along this path, following her heart and her calling, relentlessly, helped her to build her strenth, resilience and compassion.

​In each moment, she aspires to walk her path with integrity, kindness, acceptance, and love.  She is commited to conscious living and relating.
