Meet Dessy
I ask too
many questions.
I laugh at inappropriate moments. I cry when something true lands. And when something catches my curiosity, I have a difficult time leaving it alone.
I’m Desislava Ilieva Petkova. Most people call me Dessy. I’m a personal trainer, author and creator, although none of those titles quite explains me on its own.
Say hello
The questions underneath
Some parts of me
are returning.
Others are still becoming.
I am curious about what happens underneath things. How we learn to move away from ourselves, what we carry in our bodies and relationships, and what makes change possible in everyday life.
Reclaim the Core brings together the different ways I explore those questions: through books, images, practical experiences and conversations.
You will find both recognition and practice here. Room to understand something, and room to keep returning as you learn to live it.
