In 2023, I embarked on my first yoga teacher training on the mystical island of Koh Phangan, Thailand—a place that feels like it exists outside of time, vibrating with an energy that calls to those seeking transformation.
If you’ve ever watched The Beach, you’ll understand the allure of Thailand’s islands—the desire to escape, to break free from the ordinary, to discover something deeper. Koh Phangan holds that same magic, a paradox of stillness and wildness, where jungle-covered hills give way to endless ocean, where silent meditations at sunrise blend into moonlit dances on the shore. It’s a place where people come to heal, to grow, to reconnect—with nature, with their bodies, with something greater than themselves.
For me, Koh Phangan was meant to be the beginning of a new chapter. My first yoga teacher training felt like stepping onto my true path. But just as I was preparing to step into my power, life tested me.
The Challenge That Became My Strength
Two hernias. Surgery. Four months of kinesitherapy.
Suddenly, my yoga practice wasn’t about teaching—it was about survival. I had to relearn movement, rebuild strength, and trust my body again. Every step of the recovery process demanded patience, resilience, and surrender.
But healing is never just physical. It is an energetic process, a dance between body, mind, and spirit. And that is where Reiki came in.
Zoë—Life, Energy, and the Flow of Healing
In Reiki, we work with universal life force energy—the energy that flows through all living beings, the energy that sustains us, that heals us, that connects us to the world around us. This energy is life itself. This energy is Zoë.
My name, Zoë, means Life—and life is not a straight path. It is movement, expansion, contraction, renewal. It is the breath that carries us through pain and joy, the force that allows us to break, heal, and rise again.
When I embraced Reiki, I didn’t just heal my body—I reconnected with the flow of energy that had always been within me. It reminded me that we are more than just our physical form—we are energy, constantly shifting, evolving, and transforming.
Aum by Zoë—Creation, Life, and the Power to Begin Again
In yogic philosophy, Aum is the sound of creation, the vibration from which everything begins. It is the seed of all existence, the essence of transformation.
And then, there is Zoë—Life itself.
Together, Aum by Zoë represents what I’ve come to understand:
💫 That every setback is an invitation to flow into your power.
💫 That every challenge can be refolded into your strength.
💫 That life—Zoë—is a force of energy, ever-changing, ever-creating, ever-expanding.
Instead of seeing my recovery as an obstacle, I turned it into a catalyst. In 2024 and 2025, I committed to three new teacher trainings, deepening my practice, refining my knowledge, and truly stepping into the role I was meant to embody. From this journey, Aum by Zoë was born—a space for movement, healing, and transformation.
Much like Koh Phangan, with its rhythm of stillness and chaos, softness and fire, we, too, are meant to evolve.
