Hi, I’m Masha!
A grounded creative following her heart, inspired by human connection and the desire to make a positive difference in the world.
For almost 20 years, I lived in New York City as a graphic designer, fully immersed in the fast-paced lifestyle: working with top branding agencies, saying yes to everything, traveling, playing sports, going to concerts, and embracing the thrill of the city. I thought I was living life to the fullest.
But after one heartbreak too many, something cracked open in me. What I now call my Spiritual Awakening sent me inward, where I discovered a world far deeper than the one I had been taught to see. A world of healing, intuition, and purpose. A world where we are so much more than just bodies on autopilot.
I had to face my shadows, do the inner work, and learn to trust myself. And through that journey, I found the gifts hidden within it all.
Since 2018, I’ve been walking the path of transformation—both my own and for those I now guide. My work is devoted to helping others step into their power, embrace their most vibrant, authentic selves, and create a life of freedom, joy, and purpose.
I always felt like I had a bigger purpose in the world, and this healing path began to lead me to it.

A bit more about me…
Currently living in Catskill, New York, where I'm slowly building community in the Hudson Valley through in-person Cacao Ceremonies, Family Constellations workshops, and other meaningful gatherings. I'm passionate about bringing people together and creating intentional experiences that foster connection and beauty, whether through my healing arts practice or creative collaborations.

I work with clients one-on-one and facilitate group workshops, including Family Constellations and Cacao Ceremonies. One of my favorite things to do is bring people together through Cacao & Constellations, weaving the heart-opening magic of Ceremonial Cacao with the transformative power of Family Constellations. I creatively incorporate a variety of healing modalities into my workshops and client work.

Testimonials
“I highly recommend joining Masha for one of her cacao ceremonies. I was skeptical about the healing powers of cacao but I can honestly say from only attending two ceremonies I’ve experienced massive healing and breakthroughs. Cacao helps you see and heal whatever you need to heal and Masha leads a powerful meditation which assists in this process. Masha creates such a safe, beautiful space and by the end of the ceremony everyone feels like family. If you are looking for an opportunity to go into your heart and heal, this is for you.”
