There is another part of my journey that began long before SunAura, and long before me.
My name, Stojanka, was passed down through my family from my great-great-grandmother, who lived in Macedonia in the 1800s.
The stories passed through generations describe her as a natural healer who cared for people and animals within her village using traditional remedies and her hands.
When I was born, my grandfather insisted that I carry his grandmother’s name.
For many years, it was simply my name.
It wasn’t until my 30s, as my own journey began taking me towards coaching, transformation and sound, that I started looking at her story differently.
I don’t believe I am here to recreate her path.
I am here to create my own.
Her world was different from mine. She expressed herself through the traditions, knowledge and tools available to her.
I express myself through everything that has shaped me: strategic thinking and problem-solving, personal transformation, self-leadership, coaching and my connection with sound.
Her expression belonged to her time.
SunAura is mine.
For me, that is what legacy means.
Not repeating the lives of those who came before us, but allowing something meaningful from their story to evolve through our own.
I carry her name, but I give it my own expression.
Her story reminds me where part of my lineage began.
SunAura represents what I have chosen to create with mine.
A bridge between:
Strategy & intuition.
Sound & self-leadership.
Reflection & action.
What came before & what becomes possible next.
