Throughout my life in school as a child, I had teachers encourage me to join a project or tell my parents how great it would be if I joined a new program. Different occasions where progress was encouraged.

My father unfortunately had the “Skill” to stop any progress I was offered.


As a young adult, I would then stop myself from progress and subconsciously self-sabotage.


My thought process was "My father obviously thinks that I am not good enough and it has to be true."


Later in 2014 I started my healing journey and rediscovered myself and learned where I self-sabotaged. Relearned to love myself and have been taking every opportunity ever since that helps me improve my life.


Now I run into people who do what my father did but more openly.


“You are crazy! You will never make it!”


“That is a lot! Where will you have time for that?”


Despite my holistic business, I am in school to get a degree unrelated to my business.


This week I met with my career coach via zoom and he started saying while being nice about it “ what you plan to do is going to take a long time! Are you sure you want to go that route?”


I know he meant well but it bugged me nevertheless.


My response was as follows: “I appreciate your concern, however, I look at this as a journey and I don’t know where this course will take me . I will go for as long as it feels right and I know I can say “stop” when it is time.“


After hearing that, my career coach commended me and was very supportive, and agreed with my mentality.


I am proud of myself for being myself and standing up for myself and my truth.

Dr. Dusya Lyubovskaya, Executive Contributor Brainz Magazine

Dr. Dusya Lyubovskaya is a leader of ancient holistic modalities. After growing up with an abusive father, her trauma caused her to develop health issues that doctors could clear diagnose. Although Dusya has been passionate about science since her youth, she went into the medical field because she had to be the breadwinner at an early age but never gave up her dream of going into science. During her work taking care of patients, she realized there was more than western medicine could offer. However, she felt she was running into walls. Dusya took care of both of her parents, who died from terminal cancer, and knew that she could at least ease their suffering with the holistic modalities she learned about growing up. After her mother’s passing in 2014, she discovered meditation and Reiki, and a brand new world opened to her full of opportunities! She got trained in reiki, and after a year, she was encouraged by many clients to get paid because she appeared to be very talented.


She would perform energy healing on and off on the side, and in 2018 with additional training, became a holistic life as her clients around the world greatly appreciated her positive energy and experience. Dusya has also evolved in her medical career and started speaking for health care agencies as well as government agencies seeking her advice and expertise. Dusya discovered that many chronic health issues in her clients were caused by trauma so she used her western medicine knowing combined with ancient healing modalities and has been very successful. Meanwhile, Dusya has expanded to helping entrepreneurs who struggle to make more than 5k by helping them increase their money mindset and helping them get unstuck by helping them with inner child soul retrieval and helping them reconnect with their inner child as every issue we face as adults is affected by what we learned as children.
