Gratitude to the Teachers Who Helped Me Become Who I Am

There is a proverb that says when the student is ready, the teacher appears.

Looking back, I realise how true that is. Every stage of my journey has been accompanied by people who shared their experience, their knowledge and their passion with me. Today, if I am able to pass on support, clarity and guidance to those who come through my door, it is thanks to all the teachers and masters who chose, in their turn, to share what they had learned.

This article is not about diplomas or certificates.

It is about gratitude.

Gratitude for every lesson, every answer given, every challenge, and every moment when someone had the patience to teach me.

Reiki - the beginning of a new perspective

The first field that opened up a deeper perspective on energy for me was Reiki.

I had the privilege of studying Reiki Usui and later Reiki Karuna with:

• Risvan Vlad Rusu

• Nicoleta Rodica Coman

• Melissa Crowhurst

Each of these teachers gave me a different perspective on Reiki practice.

Beyond technique, I learned that real healing always begins with presence, compassion and respect for the person in front of you.

Reiki taught me that sometimes a therapist's greatest strength is the ability to be present, without judging and without forcing anyone's natural process.

Feng Shui, BaZi and Qi Men Dun Jia

The wish to understand more deeply the relationship between a person, time and space led me towards Chinese metaphysics.

I had the joy of studying:

• Feng Shui

• BaZi

• Qi Men Dun Jia

under the guidance of Risvan Vlad Rusu and Cătălin Vasiloiu.

These disciplines changed the way I look at life.

I came to understand that every person is unique, and that there are moments when it matters more to align ourselves with the rhythm of life than to fight against it.

Chinese metaphysics taught me to observe the patterns, the cycles and the potential in each person, with respect for their individuality.

Akashic healing

Another important step on my spiritual journey was the study of Akashic healing.

My heartfelt thanks go to Nicoleta Rodica Coman and Ruxandra Bulzan for the openness with which they shared this practice.

Akasha taught me that many of the answers we look for do not come from outside, but from a willingness to look honestly within ourselves.

It helped me understand more clearly the importance of healing repetitive patterns and of personal responsibility in the process of transformation.

Theta Healing

Theta Healing brought a new dimension to the way I look at beliefs and emotions.

I had the honour of studying with:

• Sidonia Turdean

• Silvia Ecobici

• Vianna Stibal, the creator of the Theta Healing method

This practice helped me understand how deeply subconscious beliefs can shape a person's choices, their relationships and the way they build their life.

Beyond technique, Theta Healing taught me the importance of asking the right questions and of having the courage to go to the root of a pattern, not just to the way it shows up.

Hermeticism

Hermeticism is one of my deepest passions.

My first guidance came from Risvan Vlad Rusu, but a large part of my path here has been built through study on my own.

I have spent countless hours reading classical texts, comparing sources and trying to understand hermetic philosophy beyond its modern interpretations.

Hermeticism taught me that real knowledge is not a matter of accumulating information; it requires the transformation of the one who studies.

Energy dowsing

In dowsing I had the good fortune to learn from:

• Risvan Vlad Rusu

• Nicoleta Rodica Coman

• Dana Bălăceanu

This discipline gave me a different perspective on energetic observation and assessment.

It taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of constantly checking my own perceptions.

Personal development and coaching

Alongside the spiritual and energy disciplines, I felt it was important to develop my skills in working with people as well.

I am:

• a Personal Development Counsellor and Life Coach, accredited by the Romanian Ministry of Labour;

• an NLP Master Practitioner;

I believe a well-rounded therapist does not develop in a single direction. Each field offers different tools, and together they contribute to an approach that is more balanced and better suited to each person's needs.

What I learned from all my teachers

Looking back, I realise that no single teacher gave me the whole picture.

Each one added an important piece to a puzzle that is still being built today.

Some taught me about energy.

Others about discipline.

Others about patience.

About listening.

About responsibility.

About humility.

About the fact that real knowledge begins the moment you realise how much more there is to learn.

I will always be a student

If there is one lesson that contains all the others, it is that learning never ends.

I go on reading, studying, attending courses, comparing perspectives and deepening the disciplines I love.

I think this is one of the loveliest parts of this path: the chance to keep growing.

A simple "thank you"

In the end, there is only this to say:

Thank you to all the teachers and masters who have been part of my journey.

Thank you for the time you invested in my training.

Thank you for your patience.

Thank you for the knowledge you shared.

Thank you for the trust you gave me.

Part of who I am today is owed to every one of you.

I hope that, through my work, I can pass on not only the information and the techniques I was taught, but also the respect, the responsibility and the sincere wish to contribute to people's wellbeing.

Gratitude is one of the most beautiful forms of healing.

And this article is my honest way of saying:

Thank you.
