Meet Your Guides
Mark
Mark Mostaed is a leading edge architect in deep emotional and transformational work, and the creator of The Shadow Code.
He works with people who appear functional on the outside but feel stuck, tense, or misaligned on the inside. People who are tired of holding it together, overriding their bodies, or living in survival mode.
What makes Mark’s work different is how precisely he can meet someone in their inner world.
He is deeply intuitive and highly attuned, able to sense what’s happening beneath the surface and give language to emotional experiences clients have never been able to name. Often, he helps people access layers of feeling that are completely new, clear, and surprisingly safe.
A core part of his work involves guiding people into what he calls the dark energy.
Not darkness as something broken or dangerous, but as raw emotional power that has been pushed down or misunderstood. Grief that never had space. Anger that was never allowed. Truth buried in order to survive.
In Mark’s presence, this energy becomes finally movable.
What was feared becomes clarifying.
What was heavy becomes expansive.
Many describe the experience as similar to a psychedelic journey, deep and revealing, yet grounded, gentle, and fully conscious.
Shaped by heartbreak, divorce, and single fatherhood, Mark learned how to stay with emotional intensity without fixing or escaping. That capacity is what people feel when they work with him.
His work helps people stop avoiding their darkness and discover the intelligence inside it. As this energy is integrated, people stop managing themselves and begin living from clarity instead of fear.
People don’t come to Mark to be changed.
They come to experience themselves fully.
Yulia
Yulia is a devoted mother, entrepreneur, and space-holder. A Russian native, she brings a diversity of grounded resilience shaped by lived experience, care, and earned emotional presence.
Her path includes motherhood, partnership, entrepreneurship, and deep personal transitions that taught her how to stay connected to herself while holding responsibility for others.
Yulia has a natural ability to sense what is needed in a moment and to help people feel safe without being managed or pushed. Her presence supports nervous system settling, emotional ease, and embodied trust.
At this retreat, she helps anchor the space through quiet care, relational attunement, and warmth — often without words.
Her role is simple and essential:
to help you soften,
to feel held,
and to remember yourself in the process.
With movement by Maria
A professional dancer from Chile, Maria’s relationship with movement began with an early knowing that the body holds our history, emotions, and spirit. Growing up in a household where work was constant and rest was rare, dance became a refuge—a way to experience connection, joy, and collective strength beyond circumstance.
As a teenager, movement revealed itself as a quiet form of resistance: a reclaiming of pleasure, presence, and humanity in environments where creativity and leisure were often privileges.
Now based in Tulum, Maria works with movement as a universal language. Through dance, embodied awareness, and physical and energetic massage therapy, she invites others to soften into their bodies and reconnect with their inner wisdom—free from judgment, repression, or performance.

Absolutely.
You don’t need to be “healed enough” or spiritually advanced to begin.In fact, this work has a way of meeting you exactly where you are.
What matters is your willingness—to feel, to explore, to want something different than the loops you’ve lived in.
Here’s the truth:
🧠 Most definitions of “inner work” stay in the realm of mental gymnastics anyway. You understand your trauma—but still feel trapped in it.The Shadow Code™ teachings doesn’t just give you insight—they give you a way out.
So if you’re new? Beautiful.
You’ll learn the language of your body, your emotions, and your subconscious—without needing to “know the lingo.”
You’ll feel the shift.
Not just think about it. -
Yes. Flexible payment plans are available upon request, and we accept all major credit cards. A 5% courtesy discount is available for payments made via Venmo/Zelle. We’re also happy to provide an invoice for tax or reimbursement purposes.
What is The Shadow Code™?
This process is a system-wide recalibration—delivered through the sacred trinity of:
🜂 Body | 🜃 Subconscious | 🜄 Soul
We don’t just label your patterns. We unravel the exact moment you learned to smile instead of speak up and rewrite it in your nervous system.
The belief that saying “no” makes you selfish or that asking for help makes you weak.
We track how you shrink in meetings, soften your language in texts, or stay silent in bed—just to keep the peace. That’s doesn’t work for you anymore.
It’s time to align with the version of you who speaks her truth and owns it.
The Secret Sauce Moves Through 5 Core Layers
-
You don’t attract what you want. You attract what your subconscious believes you deserve.
Case in point: You say you want calm, but “somehow” you still pick chaos.
You want healthy love—but one of you pulls away before it can stay.
This layer goes deep beneath the surface of what you say you want to recode the emotional blueprint shaped by:
Early attachment wounds
Repetitive rejection
Conditional love
Generational beliefs about relationships, success, money, visibility, and safety
We start with a conversational style verbal discovery and then move through a targeted subconscious process as we employ a synergy of hypnotherapy techniques, emotional regression, and parts work exercises to rewire the internal narratives quietly running the show. This is where the “why am I like this?” finally meets the “now I know what to do.”
-
Your body remembers what your mind can’t.
If your system is still bracing, it doesn’t matter how many mental breakthroughs you have—they won’t integrate. Here, we bridge the gap between insight and embodiment.
Through a unique proprietary somatic tracking process, IFS, specialized breathwork techniques, and gentle trauma-informed exposure therapy, we release the static your nervous system has normalized.
The dread in your chest before a date
The freeze response when you want to speak up in that Zoom meeting—but mute yourself instead.
This is where you rebuild your capacity to hold physical sensation, presence, and regain a felt sense of peace.
So you stop checking your phone on loop—because your body no longer associates silence with abandonment.
-
This isn’t about generic visualizations. It’s about actually returning to the girl who had to grow up too fast—and giving her what no one else could.
Most people know they need to reconnect with their inner child. Some have attempted. But few have truly met her. Even fewer have helped her feel safe enough to come forward.
Inside The Shadow Code™, this part of the work is handled with reverence, not rush.
We don’t override. We don’t push. We listen—for the exact moment her nervous system learned: “I’m too much.” “My needs don’t matter.” “If I ask, I’ll be left.”
And when she’s ready—truly ready—you’ll meet her there. With the precise language your nervous system understands. The kind of reparenting that goes beyond words—into sensation, safety, and cellular trust.
This is where the version of you who kept shrinking, nodding, performing finally exhales—for the first time in decades.
And in their place?
✨ Trust.
✨ Warmth.
✨ Safety.
✨ A quiet return to innocence that rewires your life from the root.This is when she stops saying it doesn’t matter—and starts asking for what she actually needs.
-
This isn’t about chasing vibes. It’s where we leave the woo behind—and meet the wound.
Because if your field is still entangled with dreams of old flames, ancestral dramas, or texts from men you haven’t seen in months—no amount of sage or breathwork is going to move what’s stuck.
You don’t need Palo Santo. You need a spiritual eviction notice.
In this layer, we:
Collapse outdated emotional timelines
Cut cords still siphoning your power
Call your energy back—fully, finally, unapologetically
This isn’t about becoming magnetic. You already are.
We just clear the interference so your frequency speaks for itself.
That’s when life starts flirting with you. Your aura walks into the room before you do. Aligned love. Soul-led purpose. Even the hottie at Whole Foods—they feel you coming.
-
This is the part you can’t plan for—but your soul knows when it’s time.
When the work calls us deeper, we listen. Breath meets prayer. Presence meets the unseen. Some shifts aren’t spoken… they’re remembered.
Here, we enter the liminal:
Trance healing
Past-life retrieval
Ancestral unwinding
Timeline recalibrations
But only when your system says yes. No forcing. No performing. No bypassing. Only truth—on divine timing.
This is sacred territory. Where you don’t just release the past—you reclaim the parts of you it tried to bury.
And it’s done in the spirit of unconditional love.
This is when you stop saying “Maybe in another lifetime”—because you just healed what happened in that one.
