Before creating Shanti Path, I spent more than ten years in digital business, digital commerce, product management and software development. My last corporate role brought me to BMW headquarters in Munich. I know what it means to think strategically, carry responsibility, perform under pressure and keep showing up even when something inside feels tired. From the outside, my life looked capable and successful. Inside, I was exhausted, disconnected and carrying grief I had never truly processed.

I was born in Plovdiv, Bulgaria and have lived in Germany since 2013. I hold a Master’s Degree in Marketing and for many years, I was very good at keeping everything together. After losing my mother when I was 25 and my father nine years later, I did what I knew best. I kept working, achieving and moving forward. For a long time, that was how I survived.

Over time, the cost became impossible to ignore. Burnout arrived slowly and then very clearly. Chronic exhaustion, emotional numbness, a body that had forgotten how to rest and a mind that could not switch off. I had built a life that worked on paper, but inside I no longer felt at home.

Then a car accident in South Africa created a pause I could no longer avoid. In the stillness that followed, I began to feel what I had been carrying for years. A year before the accident, I had already found Tantra through the Somananda Tantra School, and something in me had quietly begun to shift. Later, my travels through India, Nepal, Tibet and Sri Lanka deepened this path through temples, meditation, silence and direct practice.

Through Tantra, energy work, meditation and spiritual practice, I slowly rebuilt my relationship with myself. I learned that real reconnection does not happen through the mind alone. The body must be included. The energy must be listened to. The inner life needs space, rhythm and care.

Today, Shanti Path brings together two worlds that are often kept separate: professional clarity and deep inner practice. I support people who have achieved, carried, managed and held everything together for a long time, but now feel ready to come back to themselves in a way that feels honest, grounded and real.
