The Framework Behind
200,000+ Guest Experiences
I was born in rural Siberia. At eighteen, I boarded an airplane for the first time and flew to the United States with $500, no English, and no one to turn to for help. I worked my way from catering waitress to assistant general manager of a legendary fine-dining venue in North Jersey, serving two thousand guests a day.
Then, at twenty-seven, I had a stroke.
An Ayurvedic retreat changed everything. I learned that human beings experience the world through sensation — through the relationship between environment and nervous system. That understanding became the foundation of everything I have built since.
