Our Guest

Create your life from the place of Joy. Mariya Shiyko, PhD, is an assistant professor of quantitative health psychology and a founder of the School of Mindful Play. The inspiration comes from her personal life story. A joyful and creative person by nature, she was learning about the world and how to live in it from adults who were not authentically at peace with themselves. You wouldn’t want to be treated by a therapist who is depressed. Mariya’s life was about loosing joy and finding it – not through traditional means, but through meditation, self-realization, intuition development, understanding of the body & creative self-expression. School of Mindful Play is designed to teach such tools that promote and support joyful living and inspire individuals towards their highest self-expression.
