She studied Marketing, Interior Architecture (BA), and holds a Master’s in Design Engineering and Innovation. She studied dance and various forms of yoga (500hr), including yin, prenatal yoga, and therapeutic yoga. She is a doula and a womb yoga therapist, and has studied trauma-informed healing modalities such as trauma-informed yoga, healing touch, somatic shamanic therapy, and de-armouring therapy, in an attempt to understand and heal trauma at its root — in the body — through a holistic approach. For many years, she has studied the healing of the feminine, both as a collective energy and through the body of a woman - the womb space. Her studies include sexual healing for women, holistic womb therapy, and shamanic womb work, as well as the decolonization of archetypes and myths for women. She has dived into ritual and sacred priestess work, as a way to honour and serve the sacred feminine and the Goddess herself. For more than ten years, she has learned, taught, and explored healing modalities both ancient and modern, seeking to understand the connection between energetics, the nervous system, and the emotional body. In 2015, she created Selene Shakti in honour of the Goddess and the feminine energy, born from the understanding that this world needs collective womb healing. She holds workshops, retreats, and therapies for men and women, with the intention to heal the inner polarities of the masculine and feminine. Her work is a combination of the sacred with the somatic. She is walking her path with humility, devotion, and reverence for her teachers and mentors around the world.
