Nadya Lambreva shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Nadya, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
I feel called to bring psychology, sound healing, art and holistic practices together to support others in their mental health journeys. I truly love creating safe and transformative spaces where people can heal, grow and reconnect with themselves and their own purpose through both evidence-based tools, intuition and creative expression.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am an artist, creator, and new mother, deeply passionate about mental health and holistic healing. My journey has led me to explore mental tools that better our wellbeing, sound and energy healing, and creativity as powerful tools for self-discovery. I combine these practices with my own journey through transformation, motherhood, awakening to my true self and all the cross-cultural experiences that have given me deep empathy and authenticity and bring them into my work. I aim to create spaces for people to feel supported, heal and feel inspired and empowered to also embrace their most authentic selves.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Before the world told me who I needed to be, I was a little girl in Bulgaria who loved to draw, write, and dream. Life took me through many turns, but I’m grateful that no matter what expectations or limitations were placed on me, I’ve found my way back to her. Today, I carry her creativity, purity, and desire to help others—only now with the wisdom and resilience that come from my lived experiences. In many ways, I’ve become her again, just stronger, more grounded, and committed to using those gifts in order to be of service.
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
I don’t believe we ever completely heal our deepest wounds—rather, we learn to live with them, transform them, and use their lessons as fuel for growth. The most defining wound of my life was losing my mother at a young age, and with her, the sense of safety and guidance that every child longs for. That loss, followed by losing other loved ones, taught me both the fragility of life and the incredible resilience of the human spirit. I also went through a divorce, and each time I had to start over—often in new countries, on my own—I discovered my ability to rise again. These experiences, though painful, became my greatest teachers. They taught me empathy, strength, and the power of believing in something greater. While I may not call myself ‘healed,’ I can say I have alchemized my wounds into wisdom, creativity, and a deep commitment to helping others through their own struggles
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
One of the biggest illusions the wellness industry tells is that you’re not enough without products, certifications, or constant self-improvement. This creates a cycle of scarcity, when true wellness is really about self-trust and presence, not consumption. Another is the idea that ‘positivity cures all.’ In reality, forcing positivity can invalidate real emotions and keep people away from true healing. Authentic wellness and creativity embraces the full spectrum of the human experience — both the light and the dark.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. If you laid down your name, role, and possessions—what would remain?
If I laid down my name, my role, and my possessions, what would remain is the core of my ethos — the knowing that we are pure energy on a temporary human journey. I no longer define myself by traditional models of success, because authentic power doesn’t come from titles or objects. It comes from the center of who we are — from presence and consciousness itself. Stripped of everything external, I would remain whole, because my essence is not what I do or own, but pure awareness and the connection to the web of life.
