Your Guide to Wellbeing
Meet Sitara
Sitara’s journey into healing and transformation began in childhood, where she first discovered the profound power of energy to navigate life’s challenges. This early awakening set her on a lifelong path of deep study, guiding her across the world to learn from master teachers, shamans, and wisdom keepers. With over 15 years of experience in Yoga, Reiki, Shamanic Healing, and Sound Healing, she has cultivated a unique ability to hold space for others—helping them move through life’s transitions with grace, resilience, and inner radiance.
Now rooted in the serene beauty of Crete, Sitara has created a sanctuary for holistic wellbeing, balancing her devotion to healing work with the joys of motherhood and community. As the founder of Om Home, she weaves together ancient wisdom and modern practices to foster deep connection and transformation.
At our Radiantly Alive retreat, Sitara invites you to step into your fullest vitality, guiding you through practices that awaken your body, calm your mind, and illuminate your spirit. With her nurturing presence, you’ll find a safe and sacred space to release, recharge, and reclaim your most radiant self.
