An Inspired Chat with Erika Ristovski

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Erika Ristovski. Check out our conversation below.

Hi Erika, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What is a normal day like for you right now?
A normal day for me right now is to take time for myself first thing in the morning. I make an intention space for me to plan and feel my feelings without judgement. It is a compassionate space to listen to my inner rhythms. For a long time I was so busy following the noise around me that I have forgotten about myself and my own needs. I have moved now to slow-intentional living and my days are so intentional and beautiful. I feel fulfilled by the end of the day, not depleted, because I make time for me and my family and for the things I like during the day. I see clients, I exercise, but I also make time to sip my coffee in a quiet place and enjoy the moment.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’d like to share a bit about my journey—a path that’s been anything but linear, but one that has ultimately led me to where I am today: a healer, guide, and someone deeply connected to the spiritual world.

I was a quiet, introverted child, growing up in a Catholic family where I often felt like I didn’t quite fit in. From a young age, I had experiences that were hard to explain. I saw things that others didn’t see, felt energies that others couldn’t sense, and had an intuition that sometimes felt like a weight more than a gift. As much as I wanted to be understood, I often felt isolated in my own abilities. My family, with their strong Catholic faith, didn’t quite know how to handle what I was going through. The spiritual experiences I had were seen as either something to be feared or dismissed, leaving me to navigate them alone.

Being an introvert only added to the complexity. I withdrew into myself, trying to make sense of the gifts I had been given. I spent much of my childhood questioning why I was different, why I could sense things others couldn’t, and why I felt drawn to things that didn’t fit into the typical Catholic worldview.

As I grew older, I tried to fit into conventional boxes—doing what I thought I should do. I pursued an art career because I am highly creative and I loved isolation and I became a teaching and exhibiting artist. But there was always this deep inner knowing that something was missing. Despite external success, I felt unfulfilled, disconnected, and lost. It wasn’t until I started embracing my own intuition and reconnecting with the spiritual side of myself that I realized my true calling was not in the career I had built, but in becoming a guide and healer for others who, like me, felt out of place or disconnected.

This was the turning point. I took the leap to leave behind a life that no longer served me and began dedicating myself fully to understanding and harnessing my intuitive abilities. I have spent years studying, healing, and developing my gifts through various spiritual practices, energy work, and holistic healing modalities. It wasn’t easy—it meant stepping into the unknown, challenging old beliefs, and unlearning many things that had been ingrained in me. But through this process, I discovered my purpose: to help others find peace, clarity, and healing through the very gifts that once felt like a burden.

Today, I’m honored to be able to offer healing, guidance, and support to those on their own journeys. I understand what it feels like to be misunderstood, to question your place in the world, and to feel disconnected from your true self. That is how Quantum Transformations came into being, through my own journey of transformation and becoming more of me. Through intuitive guidance, energy healing, and spiritual coaching, I help people tap into their own inner wisdom, embrace their unique gifts, and walk a path of authenticity and empowerment.

If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t fit into the box you were supposed to, or if you’ve struggled to understand your own intuitive abilities, I’m here to tell you: you are not alone. I’m here to guide you, support you, and help you remember who you truly are.

Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a child I was very introverted and quiet. I was afraid of people and I couldn’t stand people staring at me for too long. I had a sense of wrongness about me because I grew up in a very dysfunctional family and I saw myself as a problem. I notice that trying to be invisible was safer, so I did that for many many years. Till I could not longer operate like that. I had several existential crisis that got me out of my comfort zone and I discovered that was not meant to be my story, I was not meant to be quiet. I was not meant to be invisible and I believe now that I have so much to say and I have in me so many ways to contribute and support people overcome themselves and be a better and more joyous version of themselves.

When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
When I came out of the spiritual closet and I decided to start sharing my experiences with others, it helps others in their journey. I have come out speaking about a lot of things, like growing up in a dysfunctional family, having a narcissistic mother and relationship dynamics to sharing my experiences with entities and aliens.
I stoped hiding my pain, when I discovered that I was not the only one operating from pain. For the longest time, I believed that I was my wounds, and my traumas and my stories, but as I was emotionally maturing I realized that we all carry those invisible weights with us through life. Sharing my pain was also a healing catalyst for me because I saw how it resonated with many others and the pain not longer felt like my own unique story, but as a collective overlay that affects us all in different ways. I found my way out of suffering to experience life to the fullness and now I teach my clients do the same.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
I have a hand full of individuals that I admire so much and none of them are famous. I admire how they carry themselves, they lead with example and their presence itself is transforming. There are not trying to impress anybody or trying to impost their believes unto others. They are living a harmonious and balanced life and it can be felt. For those of us that can read energies, people like that are so magnetic because they lead with frequency first and energy doesn’t lie.
I feel inspired and moved by few mentors and spiritual guides that are living their lives as a living transmission and that to me is more powerful than any use of power. Because those that understand the quantum field also know that energy is contagious and we need more people that are a true living frequency of harmony and love.

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What do you understand deeply that most people don’t?
What I have notice the most observing people, even my distant family members is that people over identify with their professions and possessions. They feel that they ARE their job, or the amount of money they have or don’t have. And that can bring a lot of sadness to people because in the event of loosing one of those physical expressions they feel lost.
I have understood based on my experience that everything is temporary in the physical reality, but our consciousness, our beingness is not. I love and enjoy the things that I have, my home and its comforts, but I don’t feel like it represents me. It is an expression of my energy and something for me to experience, but it doesn’t make me a better or worse person. It is just an experience. My identity doesn’t depend on temporary things, my beingness is ever evolving and ever changing and going through life with that mindset makes it so much smoother.
