My journey to Armonia: healing, connection, and coming home to myself
Written by Anca Monica
Nothing in life really happens by chance. Every step we take—even the uncertain ones—shapes the path back to who we truly are. This is the story of my journey—one marked by hardship, healing, and ultimately, hope.
From a young age, life was far from easy. Growing up, I witnessed my parents fighting and my mother bearing the scars of violence. When my parents left Iași, Romania, to work in Paris, I was only 15, left without financial support, care or a home. Until age 38, I barely called my father, maybe just to say Happy Birthday, and always with no real connection from his side.
I endured difficult and painful experiences, including being vulnerable to abuse.
In the midst of that darkness, a spark appeared unexpectedly. At 15, I received a book on Feng Shui. It was more than just a book—it was a symbol of hope, a different way to see life, a possibility for a brighter future when I had none otherwise. I clung to that possibility and believed in it.
My journey with Feng Shui deepened as I studied with Cristina Groza and later with Master Raymond Lo in Dubai. It was during this time, in a holistic center, that I encountered Theta Healing—a therapy that felt like a reconnection with myself. Within months, I was in Edinburgh studying multiple Theta Healing courses, uncovering and healing limiting beliefs that affected my love life, finances, career, and even my deeper sense of physical and intuitive well-being. This work helped me understand that my beliefs shaped my reality, and by transforming them, I could transform my life.
Family Constellations became another powerful key, helping me see how my family’s history affected my present. Through this, I began to heal the wounded inner children within me, to recognize the impact of my parents’ choices and limitations, and, most importantly, to offer myself the love and care I had longed for. Even when love from others was lacking, I learned to love and nurture the different versions of myself that needed healing.
My 200-hour yoga teacher training in Goa, India, brought a whole new dimension to my healing journey—the importance of caring for the physical body as our vehicle in this life. This deepened my passion for understanding how the body somatises traumatic experiences—how it holds onto trauma as a way to survive and keep moving forward. I’m excited to continue learning about this profound connection between body and healing.
This journey of healing and self-discovery led to the creation of Armonia—a gentle space for reconnection where energy, emotion, and intention come together. At Armonia, I offer private sessions, open events, and workshops designed to help others remember who they truly are and find their own way home.
For anyone reading this, know that you are not alone. We are all connected, and while our paths are unique, they all lead us back to ourselves—the truest, most authentic version. Healing is not just about overcoming pain—it’s about thriving as we do, in each moment of growth and transformation.
Healing today, thriving tomorrow—that’s more than a slogan; it’s a way of life. And I am deeply grateful to share this journey with all who are seeking peace and harmony within.
