Hi, I'm Mariya

Founder of HeartFlow

This is my Story

For years, my life as an engineer revolved around logic, structure, and problem-solving. But under all that pressure, my creative spirit lay dormant, and I felt my intuition slowly fading. My health declined, my joy diminished, and I felt increasingly disconnected from my true self. Every part of my life began to suffer, and despite seeking help from doctors and specialists, I struggled to find the breakthrough I so deeply needed. I honestly felt like my life began to slip away from me.  My daughter, however, kept me going; I wanted to be there for her, and I knew I had to find a way to reclaim my life—not just for myself but for her future.

Drawn to holistic and indigenous practices yet deeply rooted in logic, I always sought ways to understand these methods through science. It wasn’t until I found breathwork that my journey truly began. At a particularly low point, I was willing to try anything, and a holistic dentist suggested breathwork practices. To my surprise, these simple techniques relieved years of anxiety, depression, and brain fog, and helped me find balance within my body in a way I hadn’t thought possible. This experience sparked an enduring passion for the science of breath and for sharing these life-changing practices with others.

The next pivotal moment in my journey was discovering HeartMath. For the first time, I learned to connect with my heart—not only for physical health but as a source of resilience, emotional stability, and joy. And what a new level of inner joy I began to experience through these practices!
Training as a HeartMath Resilience Trainer allowed me to bring these powerful heart-centered techniques to others, helping them cultivate inner balance and strength in ways I found transformative.

Finally, Neurographica entered my life and brought my creative flow to life once again after I thought that I had completely lost access to my creativity. This science-backed practice reignited my intuition, gave me a renewed sense of direction, and reconnected me with an inner peace and confidence. NeuroArt became the fun and excitingly creative way for me to overcome my stuck limiting beliefs and completely rewrite my reality. Through these joyful, heart-centered strokes, I found new clarity and a deeper connection to life.

Today, I am honored to share these practices with those ready to reconnect with their creativity and resilience. My work blends neuro-art with heart-centering and breathing practices to support others in transforming their lives with clarity, joy, inner harmony, and resilience. I am currently training with the Institute of Neurographica to become a fully accredited instructor, and my mission is to create group experiences that inspire, uplift, and bring more joy into the world. Together, I believe we can each unlock our unique potential and create a brighter, more connected future—one heart-centered stroke at a time.
