In my past life — prior to 2018 that is — I lived in NYC for almost 20 years as a graphic designer working with some of the top branding agencies in the world, embracing the busy city lifestyle that included working hard, doing things for everyone else, eating whatever and whenever, drinking, traveling the world, playing sports, going to museums, concerts — doing anything I wanted to.
I was living it up! (Or so I thought.)
Then, after one heartbreak too many, came what I call my Spiritual Awakening which led me down a healing journey inward, only to discover that there is way more to this world than I was taught, that there is magic beyond the mundane, and that we are way more than just a body with a 9-5 job.
I always felt like I had a bigger purpose in the world, and this healing path began to lead me to it.
I had to face my shadows, heal my trauma, and learn to trust my intuitition — only to discover the gifts in all of it.

Currently living and residing in Catskill, New York with my partner Tiger and our dog Franklin. We are slowly building community by holding in-person Cacao Ceremonies and Family Constellations workshops in the Hudson Valley.

“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.”
