Reclaiming your Wholeness through Somatic Experience and Photography
"Albena is amazing at holding space for others with such intuitive knowing, warmth and playfulness. She put me at ease in front of the camera and helped me connect with my own strength, vulnerability, my sense of wonder and joy, and she captured all of it on camera with such an artistic eye. I just loved working with her." Rebekah Osorio, Holistic Voice Coach
"Having a soul portrait session with Albena was one of the most transformative experiences I've ever had...
... This was more than just a photography session, it was a ritual where we made art out of this moment in my life, a threshold into a new way of being, a mirror for seeing my soul essence reflected back to me, which I now have photos of to remember forever.
I’ve never experienced anything like it! " Katy Avila, Artist
"At first I was worried about the camera but soon I forgot it's there... I definitely learned something about myself even before I saw the photos." Ani D. Editor
"I found myself feeling comfortable, safe, and seen. There is a very gentle and attentive way in which she held me, which allowed me to step fully into the moment, feel, and move without any sense of shame, awkwardness, or rush." Simona Schiau, Dancer
"feeling part of that moment, so present,
allowing the senses to listen and to speak at the same time...
