SHE’S WORKED WITH
Bringing the focus from the boardroom to the body
As a successful Entrepreneur, Larisa developed resilience. However, a breast cancer diagnosis and growing health issues led to the difficult decision to resign from her own multi-awarded business. Subsequently, in 2012 she purchased her dream property, Askara, on Willunga Hill. After six months of nurturing, love and support, she had rid herself of the earlier pathology.
Instead of fearing and fighting against herself, she listened, and chose to “JUST BE.” Larisa wanted Askara to a place where people could learn, grow and recover. Then completing a four year intensive study “Barbara Brennan Healing Science” in Florida, US, she opened the one-of-a-kind electromagnetically balanced sanctuary of Askara, to the public, where she could share its essence and her gifts with many.
