I am Lahela.
And I am the evidence that miracles are real.
I was born Vicky, in Germany. I am Lahela now, in Portugal.
Between those two names is a rebirth - every layer of who I am, returned & alchemized. With my faith that became the foundation underneath all of it.
“I am not blind”
When I was 3.5 years old I suffered an epiglottitis after what looked like an ordinary cold. I stopped breathing. I had a near-death experience. And when I came back, the diagnosis was quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy (CP)
My four limbs were uncontrollable. I lived in a wheelchair. The vision impairment that can come with CP took my sight - I was almost completely blind, able only to tell light from dark.
After months in an artificial coma, my recovery began.
Years of intense therapy - physiotherapy & hippo therapy for the body, therapy for the blindness,
piano lessons to retrain the fine motor work my brain couldn't do automatically.
The childhood other children had wasn´t the childhood I had.
I got out of the wheelchair. I manifested my eyesight back. 100%.
I started attending a "normal" school. From the outside, everything looked fine.
That could have been where the story ended. It wasn't.
“Keep smiling!”
When I was 15, I was raped by a friend of my parents. A married “family man” thirty years older. I was impregnated. I had to have an abortion.
My family helped cover up these crimes & we never spoke about any of it.
Not with a therapist. Not behind closed doors.
It was as if it had never happened.
Left alone with the trauma, with no emotional support, no acknowledgement,
my 15-years-old self couldn´t process what had happened to her.
For over 15 years I deeply suppressed these memories. A disconnect from my body. Dissociating to function. To survive.
La vita é bella - isn´t it?
Just a few months later we moved to Italy for my father´s job.
Adjusting to a new culture, new language, new school & new friends.
The years that followed alternated between massive confusion & overwhelm. Desperate attempts to just function. To be the "normal" silly teenager.
To the outside world, my life looked adventurous & exciting. So much opportunity. So much possibility. And while there was all of that, there was also so much loneliness, sadness & self-rejection. Constant questions in my mind, never finding answers.
On top of it all, I was navigating the Cerebral Palsy in a new environment - terrified to explain to my new classmates why I walked the way I walked, why I fell at times, without ever fully understanding what was happening in my own body.
Journey of Self-Return
After school I completed my Bachelor & Master degrees in Denmark & France. I traveled to over 40 countries, many of them alone. I learned several languages fluently. I built an independent, accomplished life. Everything checked. Everything perfect. So I thought.
Underneath all the visible accolades - and they were real - I was still searching.
Always on the run, always escaping, always looking outwards.
I was deeply uncomfortable in my body. I numbed everything I could - with alcohol, food, cigarettes, casual sex. I felt stuck in every job I took. The house of cards I had called
family was beginning to fall apart, starting with my parents' divorce.
In 2019 I began to dig deeper. To question the stories I had been told &
the ones I had told myself.
I was desperate for change. And I realized that I had to stop looking outside
I changed my diet. I quit smoking in 2020. I quit alcohol in 2021. I began to uncover the
beliefs I had been carrying that were never mine.
In 2020, I found my mentor - Liana Shanti. I have been walking her teachings ever since.
The work moves through every layer of who I am, with the energetic as the deepest. Unconditional love. Sovereignty. The true Jesus as the foundation.
And it was there, in that depth, that I began to uncover the suppressed memories -
the emotional abuse, the narcissistic patterns, the sexual trauma. I started seeing the illusions I had been raised inside. The lies. The toxicity I had played my own inauthentic part in.
I removed myself from the narcissistic relationships. I freed myself from the family system
that had cost me so much for decades.
Reclaiming my energy. My power. Rebuilding my life.
