Come as you are.
Stay as you become.
We are María & Ioulia.
How We Found Our Flow
María
I’ve always known the power of art to heal and connect. I’ve played the violin since I was four years old. Creativity shaped how I see the world—it taught me to listen deeply, to feel emotion fully.
But true flow didn’t come until I stepped into play.
When I discovered clowning and improvisation, I learned that joy and depth could coexist. That you don’t have to suffer to create something meaningful—you can open, soften, and trust.
Meeting Ioulia unlocked a part of myself I had forgotten existed. Together, we created a space where creativity, play, and transformation could meet. That space became FLOW.
Ioulia
I’ve spent my life searching—for home, for belonging, for truth.
I grew up between cultures, always adapting, always wondering where I truly belonged. My path took me across continents, through deep personal transformation and creative awakening.
As a psychologist, I learned how to hold space for others—but it wasn’t until I discovered drama therapy, improvisation, and embodied play that I understood the power of creative expression. Healing isn’t about fixing—it’s about being fully seen. About allowing yourself to be witnessed in your truth.
The real shift came when I let go. When I stopped trying to fit into roles and began listening to my intuition.
It led me to María. It led me to FLOW.
The birth of For Love Of Wonder
FLOW emerged organically from our shared journeys and transformations. After years of hiding parts of ourselves, adapting to external expectations, and searching endlessly for meaning, we discovered that true healing came from being authentically seen and witnessed. Creativity and play, once perceived as distractions, became essential practices that facilitated deep, embodied transformation in our lives.
We didn't initially plan to create FLOW; it arose naturally from the desire to offer others what we had needed ourselves—a safe container for authenticity, creative healing, and embodied expression. FLOW wasn’t designed; it unfolded as we stepped into alignment, trust, and intuitive guidance.
