Meet Victoria
Victoria is dedicated to guiding others to inner power through the pillars of self-care, intuitive development, and energetic sovereignty. Her journey began when an inner voice urged her to look within, leading her to overcome perfectionism and rebuild herself after a painful breakup. Through energy healing, meditation, and spiritual rituals, she discovered ancient truths and cosmic knowledge within herself, transforming her life and connecting deeply with nature.
A daughter of Ukrainian immigrants, Victoria grew up in an environment where struggle was honored.

A personal self-care bootcamp reconnected her with her soul's purpose, allowing her to shed limiting beliefs, embrace her passion, and start an entrepreneurial journey offering her intuitive and healing gifts through her business, InYours.
Victoria has studied under renowned teachers in the spaces of feminine embodiment, self-love, and pleasure such as Alexandra Roxo and Mama Gena. She offers intuitive guidance and energy healing through private and group mentorship for people on a journey of self-discovery and career & purpose evolution.
