My Story
2015 — I TOOK OWNERSHIP OF MY LIFE
At 21, I walked into my first transformational seminar.
It cracked me open. I forgave my parents. I let go of years of resentment and blame.
For the first time, I felt what it meant to be truly responsible for my own life.
After that, everything changed.
I started supporting transformational programs, learning how to hold space, coach others, and help people break through their mental & emotional limitations.
2020 — I BURNED OUT AND REBIRTHED
After reaching the top of my field in high-pressure sales, I hit a wall.
I was emotionally drained. Depressed. Disconnected.
And when the pandemic hit, I finally asked myself:
“What would I do for free, just to serve?”
The answer came clear: I wanted to become a healer.
I knew it was time to come back to the body — mine and others’.
2022 – 2024
I STEPPED INTO FACILITATION
As my confidence deepened, I stepped fully into leading transformational spaces.
I taught over a dozen workshops across festivals, retreats, and community gatherings — covering everything from partner massage to conscious kink to emotional liberation through movement.
In 2023, I led my first immersive experience inside a conscious kink cabin at a somatic movement camp — witnessing people break through shame, fear, and repression through breath, touch, and trust.
That same year, I realized I wasn’t just a bodyworker or coach — I was a facilitator of deep emotional healing.
I began designing and leading my own retreats:
(2023) Kings, Queens & Kinks — a two-day deep dive into power, play, and relational healing
(2024) Heartgasm — a 5-day conscious relating retreat where we explored love, communication, and intimacy
(2025) Digital Detox & Wellness Retreat (Hawai’i) — a 7-day immersion into nature, nervous system regulation, and soul reconnection
Each space became a portal — not just for others, but for my own continued becoming.
2014 — THE SPARK
That year, something shifted.
I discovered personal development and read the first books that would change my life: Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think & Grow Rich, and How to Win Friends & Influence People.
Those books woke me up.
I realized that if I worked on my mindset and leadership, I could have anything and everything I wanted in life.
That belief became my foundation — and my life has never been the same.
I got involved in the health and wellness industry, surrounded by vibrant, motivated people who were committed to growth, freedom, and abundance.
For the first time, I felt like I belonged to a community that believed in possibility.
2017 — I BECAME A YOUNG LEADER
At 23, I became one of the youngest leadership staff members in an international personal and professional growth company.
I managed seven departments and led programs that helped entrepreneurs grow their vision, communication, and confidence.
This was the fire that shaped me into the facilitator I am today — grounded in integrity, emotional intelligence, and heart-led leadership.
2020 – 2021
THE PATH OF EMBODIMENT BEGAN
That summer, I started my first business: Bodywork by Forondaryan.
I entered a deep tissue massage apprenticeship, working hands-on with clients while reconnecting to my own body and intuition.
I began teaching acroyoga classes on the beach, creating safe spaces for people to play, trust, and connect.
Soon after, I traveled to Guatemala to complete my yoga teacher training — and discovered ecstatic dance.
It reawakened my love for movement and helped me heal years of fear and shame around being seen.
For the first time since childhood, I felt fully at home in my body.
2010 – 2013
LOST, NUMB, AND DISCONNECTED
My life didn’t start with clarity. It started with survival.
At 17, I didn’t value my life. I was ready to join the military — not out of purpose, but from pain.
At 19, I returned home from college with all F’s, no direction, and no vision beyond video games and minimum wage jobs.
I was just floating through life — disconnected from purpose, but yearning for more.
WHY I DO THIS WORK
Because I believe true transformation starts in the body.
Because your truth matters — and the world needs it.
Because we are all longing to be more alive, more expressed, and more connected — and that journey begins with safety and self-acceptance.
At 21, I made a quiet promise to myself:
If my life could make a difference for even one person, it would be worth it.
And now, I’ve seen that promise ripple into hundreds of lives — and it’s just the beginning.
I help people return to their truth through bodywork, coaching, and transformational spaces.
Whether you’re holding tension in your shoulders or grief in your chest…
Whether you’ve been playing small or afraid to speak up…
Whether you’re craving deeper love or a body that feels like home again…
I’m here to walk beside you — with grounded presence, heart, and devotion.
This is my life’s work.
And I’d be honored to share it with you.
