Who Am I?
Ania is behind the program design and development of the Fresh Start educational materials. She has facilitated many programs and deeply understands the healing process. In addition to the Senior Program Director role, Ania is continuously working on the development of the individualized healing methods, results measuring, and fine-tuning of the program.
Ania was born in Europe in the little country of Belarus, where she received her Master of Education and Psychology, and graduated Summa Cum Laude from Belarus State University of Education. She also received a diploma in Natural Health and Nutrition from Fit For Life Sciences Institute and College of Natural Health in Canada, and Live Blood Analysis Certification from Dr. Botha Okker. Most of Ania’s professional knowledge, however, comes from many years of experience in leading programs at Fresh Start and guiding individuals through cleansing and healing experiences.
A few weeks before her wedding, Ania had spent $300 on body care products, trying to get rid of persistent acne that plagued her chin, forehead, chest and entire back. Despite all the efforts, her wedding pictures still show blue and purple signs of large, inflamed boils. Coincidentally, for 5 months before the wedding, Ania worked at the bakery. Once during lunch, an Irish co-worker shared with Ania: “You have to stop eating those nice things you did not have in your country, and your acne will go away. I used to have the same problem.” Ania looked in disbelief. She attributed her skin problems and falling-out hair to climate change, the high heat and sweating in the bakery, and the city’s unclean air. How could it have anything to do with diet?
When Ania quit working in the bakery and started eating wholesome foods, her skin cleared to the point that many people complimented her on her complexion. The true revelation came when they saw the before pictures. Then, unable to hide their admiration, they exclaimed, “She is so beautiful!”
Ania adores her husband Vasili and their grown-up boys, Peter and Michael. She enjoys reading and nature hiking. Ania’s passion is knowledge, and she loves sharing it with others.
