CUTTING-EDGE CONSCIOUSNESS TECHNOLOGIES:

For Personal & Business Performance

The MetaMind Bend framework isn’t therapy—it’s a precision-engineered toolkit for peak performance and elevated consciousness. Designed for high-stakes decision-makers, it rewires how you process stress, clarity, and command. Our innovation, Complex Bilateral Asymmetric Stimulation (CBAS), activates neuroplastic pathways and recalibrates the vestibular-sensorimotor system to dissolve micro-trauma and cognitive noise at the root. The outcome? Sharper strategy, unshakable charisma, emotional agility, and neural efficiency in real time. This is consciousness tech for the next evolution of leadership.

YET ANOTHER INNOVATION:

Complex Bilateral Asymmetric Stimulation (CBAS)

In esoteric terms, CBAS functions as a disruption of density. It peels away the psychic calcifications that have dimmed the inner light. As we dislodge trapped emotional residues, a subtle field opens—what many mystics have called the sacred channel. This is a felt awakening in the energetic body, a return of movement where there was stagnation. It’s this awakening that brought me to this body of work.

WHY THIS IS RELEVANT:

The Crisis of Repressed Stress & Trauma in High Performers

Most entrepreneurs, creators, and high-achieving professionals carry trauma—old emotional imprints and unconscious beliefs that sabotage decisions and dull instinct. The world praises resilience but punishes vulnerability. This burden accumulates, manifesting as chronic stress, indecision, burnout, or identity confusion. And yet, the tools for clearing it remain either too abstract, too slow, or too cognitively dependent to shift what’s deeply somatic and energetic.

Why Traditional Mindset Work and Talk Therapy Fail Here

Cognitive therapies and mindset techniques rely on rational awareness and willpower. But trauma isn’t logical—on the physical level, it’s stored in subcortical and sensorimotor systems… and, of course, there’s also a metaphysical layer.
Clients may gain insights but still feel stuck, as their nervous system resists safety or wholeness. These methods often overlook the fact that belief structures are anchored across multiple faculties: emotional, cognitive, somatic, energetic etc.
Unlike pharmacological or exposure therapies, CBAS works without re-traumatization. It leverages the brain’s neuroplasticity and the body’s vestibular system to gradually release emotional charge while preserving functionality. It works cross-culturally, requires no deep verbal processing, and can be scaled via guided digital sessions—making it a uniquely potent tool for leadership transformation.

Advancing BS with MMB’s CBAS

The MetaMind Bend model introduces a proprietary evolution: Complex Bilateral Asymmetric Stimulation (CBAS). While BS (Bilateral Stimulation) has been quite effective as a therapeutic method, CBAS integrates—and can be integrated in—non-clinical settings:

CBAS is designed not to soothe or reframe, but to create deep neural ejection of energetic anchors and rewire systemic identity distortions at all levels. This makes CBAS possibly the only— or at least one of very few—models targeting multidimensional trauma anchors in a single integrated process.

THE METHOD:
The Sound-Breath-Movement Anchor Disruption

One of CBAS’s core innovations is a protocol that uses a combination of specific sound, breath, and movement patterns to force anchor disruption. This bypasses both verbal resistance and dissociative avoidance.

At the core of the CBAS protocols is the Sound-Breath-Movement Anchor Disruption System, which uses a combination of specific sound, breath, and movement patterns to force anchor disruption. This bypasses both verbal resistance and dissociative avoidance.

This is a multi-sensory intervention that targets and destabilizes trauma anchors at their most entrenched points. This system isn’t built on talk-based insight or memory reconsolidation alone; it weaponizes sensory entrainment, momentary autonomic dissonance, and limbic system saturation to create a state where anchors can no longer hold their structural coherence.

What makes the protocol so effective is that it doesn’t rely on conscious cooperation. It bypasses the narrative mind entirely, targeting the pre-verbal and procedural domains where the deepest trauma imprints reside. By engaging multiple neural circuits simultaneously—across the auditory, respiratory, vestibular, and kinesthetic systems—it creates an internal instability that weakens even the most stubborn identity-encoded patterns. Upon this instability, we layer further transformative practices.

This is not relaxation, and it’s not catharsis. It’s precision-grade disruption. We don’t just stimulate the system—CBAS techniques scramble trauma’s coding schema long enough for the system to eject what no longer fits. In practical terms, that means faster breakthroughs, no re-traumatization loop, and a direct line to somatic-emotional coherence.

This is the cutting edge of embodied psychological transformation—deliberately designed for those who can’t afford slow healing or simply want to liberate themselves to become a strong vessel for the life force to come through.

The Origins of MMB’s CBAS Technique

When I was twenty, I found myself immersed in a small, intense experimental theater school, which is now a well-known organization in Ukraine. We weren’t just learning how to act—we were learning how to disappear. Our training focused on becoming vessels: stripping identity, ego, and habit from the voice, breath, and gesture until what remained was pure presence. I didn’t realize it back then, but it was the beginning of my study of consciousness—not just the human mind (yes, I was a bookworm and was devouring psychology, NLP, and all sorts of self-help books one after another). We worked with acting techniques, screenwriting, and stage direction—but underneath it all was the unspoken spiritual discipline: to become empty, so something real could pass through. It was during this time that I first encountered the teachings of Gurdjieff. His movements, bizarre yet meticulous, stirred something ancient in my body. It wasn’t just dance—it was remembering.

When I was in my mid-thirties, in response to the accumulation of severe trauma cases with no resolution, I created my first proprietary transformational modality (what I called PhysoEmoEnergetics). I integrated breathwork, energy healing, and precise movement into my client work. The results were beyond catharsis—for me and later for my clients; they were initiations. Eventually, I circled back to EMDR and discovered its limitations: it touched the trauma, but it didn’t move the “soul.” Then one day, it clicked. All those early practices—Gurdjieff’s work, sacred geometry, the vessel work of Kabbalah and acting, my own energetic methods—wove together into the MetaMind Model and one of its processes: Complex Bilateral Asymmetric Stimulation. CBAS wasn’t just a technique. It was a critical part of the MMB framework—its Release step—something that had been waiting to be revealed through me, assembled piece by piece across decades of embodied study. The MMB felt like receiving something ancient and new at once: a transmission wrapped in the language of modern neurobiology and mystical physics, and CBAS was one of its inspired components. I feel blessed to share it.

Opening a Channel for Light to Shine Through with CBAS:

YOU CAN’T ACHIEVE THIS WITH MEDITATION​

Scientific Perspective:

CBAS operates at the intersection of neuroplasticity, hemispheric synchronization, and autonomic regulation. By destabilizing rigid neural anchors and activating both sympathetic discharge and parasympathetic restoration in precise sequence, it clears the system of embedded trauma signatures. This opening—measurable through increased heart rate variability, EEG coherence, and reduced amygdala hyperactivity—creates what researchers term a state of “neural receptivity.” In this state, the brain is no longer defending against past imprints, but is available for real-time signal integration and forward momentum. The system—once fragmented by hypervigilance and freeze responses—becomes unified, fluid, and responsive.

Mystical Perspective:

In esoteric terms, CBAS functions as a disruption of density. It peels away the psychic calcifications that have dimmed the inner light. As we dislodge trapped emotional residues, a subtle field opens—what many mystics have called the sacred channel. This is a felt awakening in the energetic body, a return of movement where there was stagnation. It’s this awakening that brought me to this body of work.

Daily Trauma Is a Real Thing… Yet, None of It Is Real

Yes, “daily trauma” is a thing—not the dramatic, headline-worthy kind, but the subtle, cumulative micro-hits to your nervous system that pile up unnoticed. Every unresolved conversation, every moment you override your truth to stay likable, every exposure to chaos, speed, or disrespect gets stored somatically. Over time, this drip-feed of minor dissociation and internal conflict fragments your presence, lowers your baseline energy, and compounds into fatigue, brain fog, and decision paralysis. It’s not weakness—it’s accumulation. And unless you have a method that clears trauma as it forms, you end up adapting to dysfunction instead of evolving beyond it.

Energetic Ejection vs. Cognitive & Emotional Reprocessing: Why It Matters

In traditional approaches—especially cognitive—anchors (in the MMB, we’ve identified 40 and call them Mesa Anchors) are often softened but still “float” in the system. CBAS causes what MMB calls an “energetic ejection”—a full release event across emotional, somatic, and subtle energetic layers, preventing anchor reattachment.

CBAS as a Strategic Identity Tool, Not Just a Healing Tool

Trauma release is only the beginning. CBAS creates space for new identity formations by removing obsolete anchors in values, perceptions, and relational templates. This makes it ideal for leaders navigating reinvention.

"As someone who takes a lot of pride in being deeply insightful and highly perceptive, I was very skeptical of Ms. Kostrova’s claims even after I watched her videos and lectures on the subjects of both personal and professional transformations. However, after only a few sessions the whole experience has left me speechless. Leveraging her analytically probing and coaching skills she was able to get to the root of the problem quickly while making me recognize it as well. I truly felt Ms. Kostrova was reading my mind while also making me feel both safe and comforted by her. In a word – magical"
Bill Baker, Founder & CEO, Celebrity Food Network LLC. LA CA
"What Olga did for me is beyond coaching. She not only helped me to facilitate a number of multi-million dollar deals giving great advice on how to approach negotiations, but she also helped me get rid of partial body paralysis. It was amazing. In 2 years of regular visits to psychiatrists and counselors didn’t help. For Olga it took only 3 of her unusual PhysioEmoDynamics sessions, and the paralysis was gone. Simply amazing!"
Tech CEO, Venture Investor, One of major shareholders of an advertising network recently acquired by Google, Mountain View, CA
"Olga… What can one say but that she is a required force of nature. If you need a sweet push into the vast change before you, then work with Olga. She is part coach, part business strategist, part trickster, part cheerleader, and all heart. Olga helps you feel the big picture, though the focus on the details to get you there. She is not trying to be your shrink or guru; she is trying to help you to be you. That’s remarkable, and so is she. I recommend her completely. Sarah, thank you very much for such wonderful testimonials of my work. I am blessed by the each opportunity of encountering beautiful souls like you."
Sarah E, Kornfeld, Innovation + Growth Strategist, Writer, Cultural Curator, San Francisco, CA
"Olga is a great coach to work with – she takes the time to establish great rapport, and she has amazing techniques and insight. She is also no-nonsense in the way she objectively deals with issues, while at the same time, offering a compassionate and feeling heart. I have managed to work through some very difficult issues after a bad breakup involving betrayal which left me angry, broken-hearted, mistrustful, and somehow dislocated from my own spirit. While working with Olga, I have moved past many of the destructive emotions which have taken up a lot of my time, energy, and focus, and regained a feeling of safety, health, and hope. Now I’m able to refocus on my business once again, and get back on with life as it was meant to be!"
Anna Weltman, Sport & Performance Consultant, Ottawa, Canada
"I had been struggling with my career development for a few years when my friend, Jan Hutchins, recommended I contact his wife Olga Kostrova for consulting. The previous year I worked with a career coach and the experience was mediocre, so I was very skeptical about career coaches. While in the process of doing my due diligence on Olga’s services, I found an impressive quote about her, which read that she’s a force of nature’. After working with Olga for several months I believe the quote is an understatement- Olga is nature! Let me explain: No matter what issue, struggle, fear, sense of failure, sense of grandiosity, etc., she has a wonderful way of grounding me by teaching me to ground myself. Through her, I learned to hear my own voice ‘echoing in the hallway’ thus I become my own counsel and redirect myself to my path toward success as I define it. She’s a teacher, leader, friend, muse, challenger, etc. Thus she’s the nature because she grounds me to my core stripping away all the wasted mindshare preventing me from my objectives. That’s just the tip of the iceberg with Olga. However, she’s incredibly astute about business on all levels, plugged into Silicon Valley, worldly and very technically savvy. In conclusion, hire Olga as a coach or consultant for whatever your professional goal is, and you’ll achieve those goals because if you read this you’re ready and Olga will help you down the path."
Laurence Verga, Owner, Allstate Insurance Agency, Eugene
"I feel fortunate that I had Olga as my mentor. I love her work, her intuition, especially how she has no hesitation when she “goes for the kill’ to show what I was missing to see. What amazes me most is her instinct about which way to go to find that little something that’s waiting to be changed for the better"
Nikola Dojcinovski, Data & Predictive Analytics Consultant, Ventura, USA
"I recently completed a 12-session MMB Coaching program with Olga Kostrova, and I couldn't be more grateful for the journey. From the very start, Olga’s engaging and high-energy personality made every session enjoyable and transformative. Her ability to break down complex issues into actionable steps, paired with her deep understanding of both personal and professional challenges, has been invaluable. The program provided me with practical tools and strategies that I can continue to apply long after our sessions have ended. Olga doesn’t just offer advice; she equips you with the frameworks to take control of your own path and make empowered decisions. Whether you're navigating business challenges, such as fundraising, Board dynamics, or employee productivity, or dealing with life transitions, she is a true catalyst, helping you zoom out and see a bigger picture. What truly stood out to me was how she helped me strengthen my connection with both the universe and myself. Her approach is holistic, and it felt like a collaborative effort to not only work through problems but also to gain a deeper understanding of the world around me and my role within it. I highly recommend Olga’s coaching for anyone looking to elevate their life, make impactful changes, or simply gain clarity. Her guidance has been invaluable, and I feel better equipped to move forward with confidence and purpose."
Tech investor, CEO of Defense Technology Company
"Taking Olga Kostrova’s workshop a few weeks ago was a great experience. Her leadership acumen invokes a level of trust and safety that allowed us, the participants, the opportunity to go deeper into our psyche around what was leading us into the inner world. Olga’s techniques, awareness of human interaction and vulnerability in her own transparency allowed us to take a closer look at our motivation and intention with many powerful subjects. It was interesting, engaging, intriguing and alluring, all at the same time. I am looking forward to the advanced classes."
Jay Saber, Leader of MKP (ManKind Project), Facilitator of inner work in prisons, Santa Cruz, USA
"I firmly believe that we all need coaches at different times in our careers. While I haven’t met Olga in person, she has still proven to be of incredibly high value to me. Her coaching can be very personal and amazingly business oriented. She transcends an understanding of individual issues, as well as organizational and business issues; that amazes me about her capacity. I have worked with a lot of coaches who have helped me individually or to get tremendous growth for my organizations, but she has proven she can do both. It’s amazing how she can coach and work with me via Skype to see and understand how I am reacting to our dialogue and issues and keep us focused and full of high energy. I would also encourage you to chat with her for yourself if you need a coach or others you think who could value from her skills. As I said, her work for me has been invaluable and is the best experience with a coach. I would recommend Olga to our clients as well as others, without hesitation."
David Rosen, CEO of TechxFoundry Accelerator, NY
"I had the cathartic pleasure of participating in Olga Kostrova’s compelling Shadow Work Theatre Workshop last weekend in La Jolla. Olga is a generous and empathic facilitator with a keen ability to draw authentic expression from all participants. Utilizing theatrical tools in service of psycho-therapeutic exploration and healing in a safe and encouraging field of play, we really got to experience the relief of owning vs suppressing our truth in as full a way as we were authentically feeling it. I felt cleansed and validated by the experience and happily recommend her to anyone seeking to claim and celebrate their own embodiment!"
Tes Kempner, Actress, Teacher, Facilitator, San Diego, USA
"Olga is very talented professional with extremely kind and beautiful soul that truly cares. From the very beginning she engages quickly and softly to understand your need that is actually beyond your own self-awareness. She is highly capable in real time to shift and create tailor made coaching that brings you to the core of your true need ,“want” (missing part) and self-discovery. After coaching sessions were over I was able to continue my own journey utilizing the experience and learning I was able to obtain from her. I highly recommend Olga’s coaching in this modern and unpredictable style of leaving where balance and self-knowing is key to have joyful and fulfilled life created by YOU"
Liljana Dojcinovski, Skilled business strategist, Los Angeles, USA
"Olga has bravely and brilliantly worked with me to dis-identify with the egoistic thoughts and feelings that ruled my life. She helped me to finally be able to see the insatiable desires, petty dislikes and life-blocking patterns that had been running me since childhood that had been causing suffering for me and those trying to love me. I’m no longer reacting to my ego’s insistent emotional urges to defend, distrust, and deny a sweet loving connection to self and world. I’m convinced she is a realized a being and lives in a state of powerful, angelic love. She ruthlessly trained me into my excellence and helped me to become a better public speaker, more proactive entrepreneur, and fully embody a new career and build a successful practice as an Executive Coach."
Jan Hutchins, Executive Coach, former Mayor of Los Gatos, TV news anchor, Public Speaker, Los Gatos, CA
"Olga is an unbelievable transformational artist. I approached her when I was drowning. 10 years ago I was diagnosed with depression, and in the last decade, my business sank. After a single session with Olga my depression went away. And I mean it was absolutely gone and the feeling of depression wasn’t even accessible to me any longer. I tried out of curiosity to feel sad and I couldn’t. It was the most unusual outcome. During the next 30 days my business grew rapidly. I was opening new accounts and optimizing my business processes under her guidance. To say that I highly recommend her work is an understatement."
Dennis, CEO of a Silicon Valley based construction company, San Francisco, CA
"During my very first session, Olga almost immediately identified my core trouble and simply hearing her insight on the subject gave me the tools I needed to work my way through and out the other side. Some people have a gift for this kind of work and in my experience; I found one of those people in her. Last year I hit a serious personal stumbling block that was holding me back from my true potential. In less than one hour Olga had completely nailed my restrictions and put it very clearly so I could see exactly what I needed to strengthen to achieve my goals. It was stunning and remarkably clear, definitely not something I could have achieved so easily without her help. I am now in a much better place, and my startup is becoming a reality. I’d recommend her to anyone who wants to explore what they need to overcome to take their next steps."
Pras Anand, Digital Engineer, London, UK
"Olga is definitely one of a kind, and that is meant in the most complimentary of ways. A unique blend of intelligence (intellect & emotional), business savvy, heart, intuition, truth, and enlightenment. I highly recommend those that are seeking something more out of their life/careers to have an introductory conversation. I can say with complete confidence that it is you and only you that creates the barriers to whatever it is you wish to attain. Olga has the unique ability to help you identify those barriers and provide the tools to become the best version of yourself (whatever that means for you). I believe Olga brings to the table what many coaches cannot, a unique combination of pure awareness/intuition and amazing business intellect. If you can find someone that can genuinely help you move you out of the way and have a meaningful and intelligent business impact as well, then you found the ultimate support. The hardest part for most coaches being the former. Here’s what I say, have an introductory conversation and I am guessing within the first 10 minutes of the conversation she will see your barriers and offer a plan that will set you free. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain."
Ken Hunt, Mindful Operations, Data and Finance Executive, Eugene, USA
"I wrote to Olga a few months back asking if she could help me heal from an emotional family wound. She assured me that I didn’t have to suffer as I did anymore. I was a little skeptical and waited another 6 weeks until I contacted her again to sign up for her services. The traditional therapy sessions didn’t heal the emotional baggage which I carried around these last two and a half years. I came in with an open mind and envisioned myself on the road to fully healing and happy again. And that’s exactly what happened. The memories of my past don’t haunt me or tortured me as it did before. I no longer live in the past and enjoy being in the present with my daughters. I cannot begin to thank Olga enough for setting me free. And my business now is doing extremely well. I am so happy!"
Emmi, Business Coach, San Jose, CA
