About me

Hi! My name is Estera. Originally from Lithuania, I am a UK based publishing professional with 7 years of experience in a production/content creation role. Above all I am passionate about creating meaningful content, whether it be written or visual, or better yet a combination of both. I have recently launched a blog dedicated to exploring different healing modalities related to personal and spiritual growth. I plan to post a variety of content including personal stories about my healing and spiritual growth journey, information about tried and tested healing modalities, profiles of souls I believe to be authentic and reliable healers, and general natural wellness tips. So please check it out: www.healingwhisperer.com I also dabble in acrylic painting, take a keen interest in yoga in all things wellness related, and love to travel. Having recently left my long term job in medical publishing, I'd love to connect with fellow creatives out there to learn more about people's experiences in the creative industry and collaborate on projects!
