Narrative Practitioner
Language Coach
I help people reclaim their voice.
In a foreign language, in difficult life moments, and in their relationship with themselves.

My approach blends academic depth with unapologetic humor
We work through shame, rewrite frightening life scripts, and learn how to stay grounded and present, even when things go off track.
What is narrative
practice
These narratives drain our energy and quietly convince us that something is wrong with us
It’s an honest conversation about the most important text you will ever work with: your life
Many of us end up living inside stories written by others and squeezed into limiting roles: a divorced woman, someone struggling to meet others' expectations, a bad mother
In our work together, we approach your life the way an editor approaches a text, with care, curiosity, and respect for meaning
You are not your mistake, your fear, or your pain
We separate you from the problem
Moments where you coped, resisted, endured, or chose your own way
We look for alternative storylines
You leave knowing the pen is in your hands, and the next chapter is yours to write
You take authorship back
I’m someone who
left Moscow State University because it became boring
and later earned two degrees with honors in Moscow and Bologna because curiosity returned
I’ve taught at the Italian Cultural Institute, translated books, performed stand-up comedy, and trained in trauma-informed work
My clients are people who can be anyone on the outside
From the outside, they can look like anyone: perfect mothers, tough executives, models, high achievers.

Inside, they carry a core of quiet rebellion. They don’t fit comfortably into “how it’s supposed to be,” and they’re tired of pretending they do
My
values
Directness without cruelty
We call things by their real names. No sugarcoating, but with deep human respect
Laughter through tears
Humor is not entertainment; it’s a survival skill. If you can laugh at a problem, it no longer controls you
Grounded resilience
I know how to stay present when everything falls apart and how to help you find solid ground to rebuild from
People come to me if they...
They’ve been told to adjust, endure, and stop feeling so much. Inside, this turns into anger, shame, and exhaustion
…feel a painful gap between who they are and the life they’re expected to live
They want to see themselves as legitimate, strong, and “enough,” especially in the parts they once had to hide. They want to speak honestly about pain and desires, challenge suffocating rules, and choose their own direction
…want more of themselves in their own lives
 family expectations, patriarchal norms, bureaucratic humiliation, unstable careers, migration, complex parenting (ADHD, crises), long-term trauma, divorce. The world keeps telling them to adapt and adjust.
Inside them, something quietly resists
…are under constant pressure from external scripts
What they need is an ally
Someone who can offer support without asking them to betray themselves
They need a safe space to speak plainly, laugh at the absurdity, question the rules, and slowly reclaim their strength, so they can live their life, not someone else’s expectations
I work at the intersection of
inguistics, narrative psychology, and humor
My work is grounded in honesty, humor, and emotional steadiness. It’s based on human equality and my ability to stay with people during the hardest moments of their lives.
I don’t teach “the right way to live” or perfect grammar. I help you notice
the absurdity of the fears and shame society imposes on us
your strength — even stories of failure contain moments of courage, and we will find them
a kind, curious attention that allows movement and change
History is never about just one episode
If after reading this story, you feel empowered and can look at yourself with compassionate curiosity, then we’ve succeeded. I want my clients to be able to say, "I was able to laugh at this—that means I can do even better." I know for sure: almost all challenging stories can be turned into a resource and a point of transformation.
My work is grounded in honesty, humor, and emotional steadiness
It’s based on human equality and my ability to stay with people during the hardest moments of their lives. There is no room for devaluation in my space, but plenty of room for honest conversation, curiosity, warmth, and care.
I believe strongly in humor
we can survive, laugh at, and learn from
it turns painful moments into stories
For me, laughter is a way to live through things, let them go, and rediscover meaning and beauty. I know how to keep my footing when everything collapses and remain alive, vulnerable, and strong
I’m attentive to words. Sometimes one precise sentence is enough to land straight in the heart and shift something important. I value slow pace, nuance, and noticing small things, and I help others slow down enough to see what truly matters
