Welcome

What does it mean to be able to hear the voice of your body? Its true meaning is to find a way to say ‘Yes’ to your own self, to life, and to all that wants to come to existence through you and your being. You may be asking yourself how the healing process works towards transforming your past and creating your future, the future that you have been dreaming about.

Perhaps, deep down, you have grown to believe that something is not quite right with your body, mind and your emotions, and therefore that something has to be fixed. I’ve been there, I’ve felt the same. My own path and the paths of my clients have proven that the desired change occurs only through becoming able to identify all the pieces of your self and your past, and bringing them all together into one whole – you. So, you really need to notice and pay attention to the processes happening in your mind and your body, and to learn how to become a good parent to them.

Following your desire to unveil the truth within yourself, accept and embrace it brings about a new reality in your whole self.

It is following your desire to unveil the truth within yourself, accept and embrace it that brings about a new reality in your entire being. What will happen then is that, instead of your chronic symptoms of migranes, panic attacks, depression, communication and connection problems, aggression and anxiety, as well as the lack of ability to be your authentic self, you will come to enjoy your dreamed full health and authentic expression. But to reach that longed for health, which actually is your birth right, you will need a map and a guide.

Through this website I really hope to provide you with essential information, practical programmes and valuable resources to help you step on the path of healing. That way your life will become an expression of your highest potential rather than just the ways you have survived so far.

I have been walking that same path for more than 15 years and know in my heart that when people heal the connection with themselves, with others and the living nature around, something wonderful happens. We create a promising bright future for ourselves and for all who will inherit our earth; at the same time, we cure that dark past of those who never had that same chance before us.

And I said to my body, softly,
“I want to be your friend.”

It look a long breath and replied,
“I have been waiting my whole life for this.”

Life brought me to Boryana 2.5 years ago in its mysterious ways, when I was looking for a therapist to work with after losing my mother, during a very difficult moment in my personal journey.

In my experience of Boryana as a therapist she is a gentle and delicate person with a warm and natural demeanor. She senses the fine movements of emotions, both visible and invisible, and skillfully reflects and contextualizes them, allowing them to be fully felt, honored, and accepted. I also feel Boryana as a caring and highly responsive person, with a steady pace and a solid connection to reality.

Working with Boryana has been a deeply intensive process of discovering and enhancing my sense of self in my physicality, emotionality, wholeness, and connectedness. Over time, I have come to see my resources and the traps I fall into due to early conditioning from primary relationships through а different angle. The effects of our sessions often resonate in the following days, sparking my creative energy for writing, drawing and composing.
In my meetings with Boryana, by feeling myself more and by allowing to be felt by another being, I touched upon and explored the most important themes in my life in new ways - through the perspective of the nervous system's functioning and the profound bodily intelligence, which I am grateful to have accessed and understood better.

As a result of the process, I managed to navigate the difficult states surrounding my big loss, overcome a persistent addiction, increased my tolerance for various types and intensities of emotions, understood my body's language better, and learned different self-regulation techniques for emotionally intense and challenging moments, which I practice on my own when needed. This significantly developed my capacity to stay present, benefiting me both personally and professionally.

As a colleague, I can also see and appreciate Boryana's sense of structure, timing, and transition in our sessions, as well as her adept handling of transference in the therapeutic process. I feel equally well-guided by her both when experiencing intense emotional states as well as when entering the session without any specific initial topic. This brings me a sense of security and stability in our shared experience, making everything that is present completely welcome.

Starting this therapeutic process was one of the best decisions I've made, and I consider it as a meaningful investment in the most valuable asset in my life – myself.

I highly recommend working with Boryana to those brave enough to deepen their self-awareness and self-experience with the rare gift of a genuine, heartfelt connection that transforms beyond words.

I am very happy I've found Boryana. I've read about somatic experiencing but didn't know there were practitioners in Bulgaria. We've now been working together for nearly an year and there are significant changes in my way of thinking and self perception. Through her I've rediscovered awareness, gentleness, peace, self acceptance and actualisation. I am impressed by Boryana's professionalism, reliability and dedication. Each session with her is a transforming experience.

I discovered nervous system-based therapy through books like Peter Levine's *Waking the Tiger* and was delighted to find a therapist specializing in this field here in Bulgaria. Over the past year, working with Boryana has brought tremendous progress in my healing journey, for which I am forever grateful. Boryana is exceptionally supportive, kind, genuinely empathetic, and understanding. She consistently creates a safe space that has enabled me to open up and become more accepting and understanding of myself.

Her ability to be fully present with someone—accepting them as they are in the moment, listening carefully, and deeply understanding and caring—is profoundly healing. Boryana excels at guiding you through your bodily sensations, helping you meet yourself, feel through your emotions, and let go.

I highly recommend Boryana. She is not just my therapist but someone I have grown profoundly fond of and care for deeply. She is truly a wonderful human being and a gift to a world that so desperately needs healing.

After each session, I feel enriched with a new understanding of myself and the world that surrounds me. The states of acceptance, silence and pleasure became part of my daily life, as well as the practical experiences I have mastered during my work with Boryana.
