About Me
I am Kalina, a writer and a creative relationship coach based in Dubai. I have an academic background in psychology and counselling skills. I started Aphrodite’s Kitchen to help women find a community where they can explore their identity in relationships outside of online narratives and social expectations.
I use culture, mythology, philosophy, psychology, and creativity to explore feminine identity through different perspectives. I believe that online and social culture sells extremes, opinions, and rules around feminine identity in relationships. Independent exploration of the subject is key to choosing for yourself and developing your identity as a woman. That is why I offer the tools you need to do so.
On my Substack (which is your starting point), I post research-based cultural and mythological perspectives on femininity using a significantly diverse, worldwide lens. Hopefully, they can offer a refreshing, liberating perspective on feminine identity. I also share creative tools you can use for self-guided exploration, and offer a community forum where you can meet other like-minded women.
I also offer 1:1 creative coaching, where we can freely deep dive into your identity and relationships. It is a completely safe space where I will never tell you how to act or what to believe or think. You will have complete freedom in how you want to develop your identity and relationships.
