Meet Pavlina

Queer, highly-sensitive, driven by the insidious undercurrents of childhood trauma, I know the pain of self-abandonment and living in isolation from one’s true self.

For decades, I survived by keeping my heart closed, leaving parts of me behind, and performing for approval and acceptance.

On the outside, I built a successful career and travelled across cultures and continents. On the inside, I felt lonely, broken, incomplete.

When it all came crushing down on the eve of my late 30s, I found myself all alone, in the middle of divorce, estranged from family and friends, and unsure where in the world home was.

I felt a profound sense of loneliness and existential angst. Underneath it—a visceral yearning to finally be me.

I embarked on the underworld journey of healing—emerging more whole, joyful and complete on the other side.
