I was born in the desert country of Uzbekistan, Central Asia, where thousands of years ago caravans of merchants used to travel along the Silk Road. Only lately I discovered the rich heritage of that land in their stories, parables and music. Most of my life I spent in the Slavic country of Belarus, where I became involved in television and filmmaking.
When the Chernobyl accident happened in 1986, my life and the life of my then 3 years old son Dimitri dramatically changed. I became an independent producer and freelance journalist. I started travelling in search of help for victims of this tragedy and trying to raise awareness and funds around the world. I worked as a consultant with many International film crews, one of the projects was ‘Inside Gorbachev’s USSR’ with famous American journalist and presenter Hedrick Smith. I was not satisfied with the foreign approach to the Chernobyl drama, which was mainly based on sensationalism, and came up with the idea of making my own documentary “To Whom It May Concern…”
In the midst of all despair and the thick cloud of uncertainty I was guided to meet Clif, a foreigner and antipode from New Zealand, who brought hope and lots of joy in our lives. We worked together in the Minsk Haematological hospital with dozens of children suffering from leukaemia and thyroid cancer as well as their grief-stricken mothers – Clif doing his magic and I translating for him. That was my first encounter with the Field and ecstatic feeling of freedom from pain and fear.
Two months later after our first meeting we got married in New York. Together we founded FOCUS - an American based International charity organisation devoted to bring natural health awareness to the children’s well being. As a result of several scientific research projects many solutions in the field of natural and energy medicine were found to be of benefit to people suffering from radiation-related illnesses.
My personal health was challenged after exposure to low doses of radiation and that led me to extensively study yoga, toning, chanting, gentle stretching and breathing exercises.
And today I want to share my experience and help other people to find and develop the healing abilities stored in their own voice.
