Time to say Good Bye

Dear Clients,

First of all, please forgive me for not informing you earlier and for “leaving in English style” without saying goodbye in advance.These last days have been overwhelmingly busy, and I realized I simply wouldn’t have enough time to speak with everyone individually. So I decided to write one letter to all of you.

These days, as I am packing the last of my things, I find myself more and more often “thinking about something higher… wondering about my friends — where they are, how they are, and whether they might need my help.”

(from the film “Не бойся - я с тобой!” (1981))

I think about all the people with whom I’ve walked this path for more than seven years —years filled with surprising, challenging, sometimes even magical stories:stories of healing, self-discovery, struggle, and profound human growth.

Every meeting, every session,every conversation, every muscle spasm, and release, every cry and  smile has written its own line into the space we created together.

In many ways, we were standing at the origins of Canadian applied psychosomatics,a field that had existed mostly as abstract theory until then.It was in this shared space that something new was born —a psychosomatic approach as a living, multidimensional practice,a direction that had hardly existed in Canada before —neither as a profession nor as a recognized system.

I had to invent the language for it — terms, explanations, frameworks, evidence —things that at first seemed untranslatable, misunderstood, or impossible.I must admit, there were mistakes that became stepping stones for growth.There were dramatic, unexpected, funny, touching moments,and there were sudden healings after years of suffering.

But gradually, people began to come —not only with pain in the body, but with questions about life, meaning, fear,about their own patterns and unconscious programs,about blocked trauma and restrained emotions.

We walked into the unknown together, without predictability or guarantees —and somehow we achieved the impossible.

We saw clients reach extraordinary breakthroughs —in health, in business, in family life, in worldview and self-awareness.People rebuilt careers, transformed relationships,and changed their inner world so deeplythat their entire life changed in response.

I am proud of each one of you —for your courage, honesty, willingness to look inward,and for believing in something that cannot be described in words.

This journey has never been only about health.It has always been about meaning, choice, courage, trust —about a person’s ability to return to themselves,to rediscover their purpose,and become someone new.

I am grateful to you for letting me come so close —to your physical blocks, pain, fear, joy, dreams,and the quiet inner mechanisms of the soul.It has been honest, alive, and precious.

In the past ten years, I haven’t had a single vacation.Not because I didn’t want rest,but because I wanted to be here.Yet sometimes the path requires a pause —a deep breath before the next movement.I need a reset,a check-in with the next level,a moment to hear myself again.

And now the moment has come —long postponed, but impossible to ignore any longer.

Remember that Pink Floyd song? 

“Into the distance, a ribbon of black

Stretched to the point of no turning back

A flight of fancy on a windswept field

Standing alone, as my senses reel

A fatal attraction is holding me fast

How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky

Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earthbound misfit, I

(“Learning to Fly” – Pink Floyd)”

The clinic I love so much is closing.Our home — this unusual, crazy, beloved home,which became part of my storyand part of my hands —is leaving as well.I am selling it along with the space I once created for healing.It is difficult, tender, strange, and touching —as if you are giving away not walls,but a piece of your own biography.

I sincerely love and will always remember each of you.I don’t want to leave,to change, to let go —but…

“A strange sound calls me on the road.

Maybe it’s the heart,

Maybe a knock at the door.

And when I look back from the threshold,

I’ll say only one word: Believe.”

(From the song “Стук” by the band «Кино»)

Thank you for the years,for the trust, for the depth,for the laughter, tears, conversations,and for making my worknot a craft, but a living art.

May each of you continue your own path.Life never ends —it only changes its scenery.And we continue the danceas the expression of our soul.

Wishing you light,strength, warmth,and inner honesty.

We will meet again —in a new place, a new version of the world,or simply — within ourselves.

With love,as it has always been all these years.
