This led to life-threatening illnesses and many near-death experiences. Her sincere desire for truth inspired her to create Heartfull Meditation with heart-focused active techniques. Since 1995, it has become her life’s work to share Heartfull Meditation and the Align & Shine Snack Techniques.The techniques helped her to come alive and shine, blessing her with her beautiful daughter, Zenia.
