There is a moment…
when your pet looks at you

And you feel something deeper than words. Not just love — something pure, quiet, and unconditional. A connection that heals, comforts, and reminds you that you're never truly alone.

I believe this connection is one of the most powerful and beautiful things we experience in life… and it has the ability to change us in ways we never expected.

I'm a Certified Holistic Pet Health Coach, the founder of GlamourPetCare, and simply a person who loves animals with all my heart.

I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. My very first pet was a tiny hamster named Lora… I still remember her little black beaded-eyes and the pure joy she brought into my childhood.

As a little girl, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian or a biologist. But life took me in a different direction — I became a professional musician. I studied at a Special Music school for gifted children and later graduated from the Conservatory of Music, building a career as a violin teacher and continuing my education in choir conducting and voice.

From the outside, everything looked right… But deep inside, I always felt something was missing.

Now I understand — I was missing my true calling.

Everything changed when animals came into my life in a deeper way. I moved to the United States in 2008, and a few years later I made a decision that changed everything — I got my first kitten. That moment became the beginning of a completely new life for me.

My animals didn't just make me happier… They gave my life meaning.

When I was preparing for my first kitten, I already knew I wanted to raise her in the most natural and healthy way possible. At that time, I was following a raw diet myself, so I began learning about feline nutrition and holistic care even before I brought her home.

That curiosity quickly turned into passion. I learned from holistic veterinarians, animal nutritionists, from books… and most importantly — from my own animals. They have always been my greatest teachers.

And then… life gave me one of the deepest experiences of all. One of my cats had kittens — and one of them, little boy Artyomka, almost didn't survive. I remember how fragile he was, twice smaller than his siblings… how uncertain everything felt. But I cared for him, and did everything I could. And somehow… we made it through together.

Since that moment, our bond became something incredibly deep and real. Today, he is my closest friend.

Every night, he comes to me, sits on my lap, and then when I go to bed — he climbs under the blanket, settling right next to my cheek. He falls asleep with me… and wakes up with me. He hugs me gently with his soft "arms". He purrs lullaby songs in the evening and greets me with his gentle "good morning" in the morning.

I feel his loving energy and the energy of all my cats and dogs so deeply… and I always know that at home, there are souls who love me unconditionally — just the way I am.

It was through experiences like this that my passion for holistic animal care became my purpose. When I discovered the Holistic Pet Health Coach Program, I didn't hesitate for a second. I knew — this is where my heart belongs.

And I'm still learning every single day.

✦ Fun Fact

The Mexican Hairless
a forgotten ancestor

Hairless cats were documented in Mexico in the early 1900s and were often called the "Mexican Hairless." Unlike modern Sphynx cats, they sometimes had whiskers and even a light seasonal coat.

Despite their similar appearance, they are not directly related to today's Sphynx breed and disappeared by the 1930s, making them an extinct line.
