Hi! ​I am Anastasia — coach, book author, public speaker, and a highly sensitive person. I lived in six different countries, had five different careers, worked for start-ups and multinationals and ran my own businesses. You can read my full bio here.
This site was inspired by my personal story: I had struggled to embrace my sensitivity, until I discovered work of Elaine Aron and realized that sensitivity was not a drawback, but an advantage, and it could actually help if I learned to manage it.
​As I was learning to deal with my own sensitivity, I created this resource to empower other highly sensitive people, and spread knowledge about sensitivity. I also run a video channel and a podcast about HSPs in English. ​
​
​Could you be highly sensitive? Let's check it!
- Do you strongly react to sounds, lights or smells (or all of them)? 
- Do you get easily overwhelmed when you've got a lot to do and need to withdraw on busy days, whereas your colleagues or friends are doing just fine?
- Do you tend to get affected by other people's emotions and problems and find it difficult to say no because you don't want to hurt someone?
- Do you easily get upset with things that don't seem to bother others, or when you get criticized?
- Do you find it uncomfortable to promote yourself, like talking about your achievements or asking for a bigger salary?
If you answered "yes" to the questions above, chances are you are a Highly Sensitive Person. You are not alone If you answered "yes" to the questions above, chances are you are a Highly Sensitive Person. You are not alone — about 15-20% of human population belong to Highly Sensitive, or Hyper Sensitive people. They have a finely tuned nervous system, perceive more details, possess a strong intuition, and are highly empathetic, so they often know what others need without asking them.
​
High Sensitivity is a great gift, but can also create problems as Highly Sensitive People get easily stressed and overwhelmed, and need to withdraw much more than others when things get busy. Your biggest challenge is to learn to accept, respect and manage your sensitivity. The good news is that you are in the right place to learn exactly that!
