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. 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 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. 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. This science-backed practice reignited my intuition, gave me a renewed sense of direction, and reconnected me with an inner peace I thought I’d lost. Neuro-drawing became my way to blend creativity with grounded self-discovery, helping me transform limiting patterns and align with my heart in a more grounded way. 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.
