Ioanna Karolina Benakis: The Author Bridging Psychology and Philosophy
Ioanna Karolina Benakis, is a greek-swiss writer and author, whose work bridges psychology and philosophy.
She began her career in the legal field, but soon felt a profound inner calling, a longing for something truer, more meaningful, and more real. That inner voice led her far from structured systems and into an immersive journey of self-exploration. She studied Yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra across Asia, participated in shamanic rituals in Mexico, and immersed herself in the teachings of Advaita Vedanta and Eastern spiritual philosophy.
Her debut book, The Mirror of Yourself, first published in French in 2023 through Librairie Payot and later in English in 2025, is a poetic and introspective guide through personal transformation. Rooted in Jungian thought and somatic wisdom, the book traces a journey from inner fragmentation to emotional sovereignty.
Through her literary platform, IKB Creations, Karolina shares essays, poems, and reflections on healing, love, the universal body and the human psyche, offering words as mirrors for those seeking depth and clarity.
She is also the founder of Scent of Woman, a space dedicated to feminine wisdom and sacred embodiment. There, she offers online courses and journeys on menstrual harmony, pelvic healing, emotional regulation, and breath-led transformation, all designed to help women reclaim their bodies as sacred ground.
With a voice both fierce and tender, Karolina guides others on a return to softness, strength, and the truth of who they really are.
