Before learning BMGT, I was actively engaged in somatic practices to improve flexibility, freedom of movement, and body sensitivity. I have also always been interested in the topic of sexuality and partnerships. Over the past 10 years, I have gone through training programs and various courses, which later gave me the opportunity to work as a sex and intimacy coach. This work was a good school for me and a test of many body-oriented methods for effectiveness. Sexuality is so clearly manifested through the body, and therefore honest in its manifestation, that it is difficult not to notice when we lose contact with it. Every year, I have been noticing that my requirements for the quality of methods were constantly growing. Working with intimacy only, separately from other areas of life, already seemed to me limited and insufficiently effective. As a result, my desire for a more complete integration of the body and mind forced me to constantly look for more and more flexible approaches that support the authentic, spontaneous and free manifestation of all parts of the personality.

Fortunately, on the advice, I went through a BodyMind Gestalt therapy training program that turned out to be a breath of fresh air after studying very structured coaching techniques and other therapeutic models. After studying for the first six months in the training program, there have been as many dramatic and positive changes with me as there have not been in my whole life. Something opened up in me. I began to notice more and more the connection and the integrity of body and mind. After some time, I no longer needed the advice and guidance of reputable teachers to be healed and find the right answers.

Of course, this does not mean that since then I live only in a rainbow world. The body is very fragile in nature, it stores the imprints of all the events of life, and any changes cannot be forced to occur by the efforts of the will. Nevertheless, I am very grateful to My Teacher for the adequacy, humanity and honesty of his method. He taught me not to change myself ambitiously as an object. Instead, I learned to respect my borders and deeply feel contact with all my parts.
