Polina’s bio

Chief Operational Officer

Growing up I held special interest in different states of awareness, both body and mind, thus I spent considerable time at a Yoga Ashram in India. After my bachelor degree in sports science and 5 years of teaching Yoga around the world, I shifted to devoting myself to the field of psychedelics and worked as an apprentice of an Ayahuascero in Costa Rica.

So I completed another bachelor majoring in psychology (and minoring in neuroscience and social anthropology) at the University of Bern and am now enrolled in a Master program of Clinical Psychology at the University of Fribourg. On the side, I work as a research assistant in a clinic in Bern on psychedelic-assisted group psychotherapy.

What inspires me most is to unite all the still quietly practicing colleagues of psychedelic science, as it is our sense of community that makes human flourishing possible.
