How my life path shifted from being a fashion insider to carving my own path as empowered creator

Born and bread in a post-communist grey landscapes of Poland, I had no choice but to dream about bringing some more magic into this world. In my head I was constantly creating and imagining my surroundings with more beauty, harmony and flavour. It’s been such a powerful, creative awakening ever since.

In my late teens, due to an early fascination in Eastern philosophies I became very curious about life, death and the meaning of everything in between and met my first holistic guides who have impacted my journey. At the age of 21, I got introduced to yoga while I was splitting my time between busy student life at the Fine Arts Academy and my first serious job as an assistant at a leading luxury fashion magazine. The world of fashion was a good playground for alchemising magic to matter.

Fast forward a few years, I moved to London to fulfil my deep desire to work in fashion industry among my favourite creators. Shortly, I became a part of the Print Department at Alexander McQueen and completed my second degree at the London College of Fashion. Working for my favourite Fashion House was the best time of my life for my mental and creative stimulation, but probably the worst for my physical health. Due to sleep deprivation, imbalanced nutrition, abusing coffee and energy drinks, my immune system was about to collapse. I realised there was a need for a drastic change in my lifestyle. I hit rock bottom with my health, and this was the push that got me back to my yoga mat and made me look into changing my habits.

Heal / transform / thrive

Yoga became my daily practice, and what thrived from early mindfulness therapeutic sessions to bring my body to optimal health, quickly turned into a life philosophy. Alongside the movement, I started practicing conscious breathing, mindfulness, meditation, voice activation and energy management.

Through my personal journey I came to understand that all parts of ourselves are equally important and once they are integrated into the wholeness of what we are, we begin to heal, transform, and thrive.

The commitment to my daily holistic practice over the years, has truly impacted my whole life and has helped me become the creator of my own path.

This self-empowered space is from where I serve here, with both my art and holistic guidance.

Creative entrepreneurship

Throughout my designer journey I had created and launched two fashion labels NAVADA and STARSEEDS. However, nowadays, I’m designing independent collections and bespoke pieces under my own name Natalia Zawada. Last year I started working as a design consultant, helping Bali-based brands to bring their products to life.

The Path of a Visionaire

Along with constantly deepening my studies and sharing these teachings through workshops, retreats and weekly classes in my current home on the island of Bali, I am bringing my experience in art and healing together, to guide and support individuals, groups and businesses.

If you’re interested in creative encouragement, yoga of self-reflection or energy management that will enrich your life, let’s connect.

I believe there is nothing more fulfilling than experiencing life from a broader perspective of awareness, while remaining fully rooted on this material plane.

This sentence by an elderly yoga teacher became an inspiration for my work:

“You don’t need to do yoga instead of your life - you shall do yoga to support it.”
