Today we’d like to introduce you to Ania Massat.
Ania, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
The search to find self-started very long time ago, when I was a child. For some reason I was attracted to everything that was alternative in nature and I had deep wanting to understand Body and Mind connection. Back then it was connected to book knowledge and some hands on experiences but truly the first active steps into where I am right now I took 11 years ago starting with Massage Therapy School in Chicago. There I had an opportunity to learn about anatomy, physiology as well as body movement. Still while studying in the class I received a little demo of a therapy called Craniosacral Therapy and I have to admit I never experienced anything like that. I felt very altered, my body felt light and my mind was drifting off. At that moment I decided that all my continuing education requirements I will fulfill with this exactly therapy learning each bit of it. Along with that I already started to take additional classes with guided meditation. I could not believe how body felt when the mind was in the rest state. Then I started to take Craniosacral Therapy classes at Sacred Journey Institute in Tinley Park. These classes opened me even deeper, I explored myself like never before. These classes were shamanic in nature, which means holistic, very broad and very transformative. Finally I started to feel my own ground started to build upon these classes. I became very much affiliated with the Institute, I quickly became an assistant as well as Instructor but my yearning to go even deeper with exploration of the Body Mind and Spirit connection didn’t stop. I then noticed that some of my clients can quickly drift off into this light state, where healing occurs and some are too bounded and not easily let go. It lead me to start some Hypnotherapy courses to learn how to induce verbally this exact state of the Mind.
At some point I noticed that my practice started to change from bodywork into listening and mentoring my clients. In the meantime I was already taking NLP training as well as life coaching training. NLP is a psychological approach to connection between verbal communication and life experience itself. It is truly deep understanding how uniquely each mind processes information based on the belief system, by knowing that we can shift easily our negative experiences into positive, we can change our limited belief into out of box thinking, we can motivate, set up clear goals and working directly with thoughts, habits, patterns that prevent us from getting where we want to be. This work is so fascinating that I became a trainer in NLP. If you have interest in learning more about NLP, you can get practitioner training with me in various location in Chicagoland.
So I am here, I am a life and wellness coach here at Evolved Life & Wellness, experienced in natural healing medicine, natural approaches to finding source of the illness, discomforts and methods to shift emotional states.
Has it been a smooth road?
The road is always bumpy, that’s why you always must buckle up and enjoy the ride…. haha.
It’s interesting how life can take you from the highest and most beautiful mountains into the dark and low valleys. If you stop differentiate between what is good or bad you will find – that all are just experiences along the way and bumpiness of your life. If you let it, you develop humbleness and acceptance, if you don’t let it, you develop resistance and struggles.
