“Against status quo, bluntly honest, and unapologetically herself.”
The Creative
In 2024, Eda underwent a profound creative journey amidst a turbulent and challenging year. In the midst of uncertainty, she found immense inspiration, channeling her experiences into several deeply personal books.
Each publication delves into diverse topics, rooted in introspection and authenticity. Eda's writings reflect her profound exploration of human emotions, societal dynamics, and personal growth. Through her books, she invites readers to join her in navigating the complexities of life with courage and empathy.
The Co-Founder
Eda is the co-founder of SEVA Experience, a multifaceted, holistic wellness space offering yoga and meditation classes, workshops, and group circles, as well as private treatments and sessions, conducted by world-class facilitators from the East and the West in a trusted and safe environment. Under SEVA Experience are two other verticals that Eda leads: SEVA Table, which is Middle East’s first 100% plant-based and globally recognized and award-winning café since 2014, and SEVA Stories, the ethically sourced, conscious shopping destination retail store.
This is how Eda describes the place that has become a haven to many:
"Stepping into SEVA is like finding a sanctuary amidst the chaos of Dubai. Since our inception in 2014, we've been making waves in the region, not just for our wellness offerings, but for our authentic, no-frills approach. We offer a simple yet stylish refuge where you can escape the city grind and reconnect with yourself, without the fancy frills.
Under our vision, SEVA Experience has blossomed into something truly remarkable. Picture SEVA Table, our incredible plant-based café serving up goodness since day one. And our wellness space? It's a bustling hub of activity, offering yoga, meditation, holistic treatments, therapy, seminars, and workshops led by experts who truly know their stuff.
But let's not forget about SEVA Stories – our pride and joy. It's not your typical store; it's a platform for ethical living and supporting communities worldwide. Each product has a story, carefully sourced from artisans across the globe. It's our way of challenging mindless consumerism and making a tangible difference.
At the core of it all? It's about purpose-driven entrepreneurship. I'm here to shake things up, improve lives, and infuse beauty into the world. So, are you ready to dive in? Let's unlock our potential, tap into our power, and create lives filled with joy, meaning, and experiences. SEVA Experience isn't just a destination – it's a movement, a sanctuary, a place where real change happens.”
“Let's make every moment count."
The Spiritual Entrepreneur (and Innovator)
Eda’s visionary work is leading a revolution in advancing and redefining lifestyle and consciousness in Dubai and beyond, influencing community’s perspective in line with Aquarian principles and strategies.
In her own words:
“I'm not one to sit still. Since 2014, I've been envisioning the birth, growth and existence of SEVA Experience, bringing holistic wellness to the forefront in the region. Simultaneously I have big plans including launching a brand new app and an e-commerce business which is all about making a positive impact and elevating conscious consumerism. My business motto will forever be: “Why settle when we can innovate?”
This life’s journey of mine isn't just about building businesses; it is about building a better world that I desire for myself and others to take pride living in. I'm on a mission to inspire others to dream big, take risks and make a real difference.”
“Join me in this adventure of making waves!”
The Teacher
Eda has been running what has become to be known as the (Kundalini Activation) 6am Club for a number of years. Whether it is a Full moon, New moon morning, a Solstice, an Equinox, or other important celestial event Eda will get up at 4:30am to prepare herself to host a 90min morning gathering with movement, chanting, breathing, meditation, and sound healing elements for hundreds of regular students. She has her own unique take on the revered practices of Kundalini Yoga that people find themselves drawn to again and again.
As she likes to put it:
“Kundalini Yoga isn't just a practice—it's a way of life. I believe in the transformative power of this ancient tradition when it comes together with the divine guidance. These classes are a path to awakening and empowerment. It's about tapping into your inner strength, unlocking your true potential, and connecting with the divine energy that flows within and around you. That's why I've been hosting the Kundalini Activation 6am Club for years now. Full moon, new moon, solstice, or equinox, you'll find me bright and early, ready to guide you through a morning of movement, chanting, breathing, meditation, and sound healing… and maybe more. These gatherings aren't just about getting your body moving; they're about aligning with the rhythms of nature, honoring ancient traditions, and tuning into the cosmic energies that surround us. It's a time for community spirit, for coming together with like-minded souls to support each other on our journeys of growth and self-discovery. The classes and online (and offline) and recordings are available.”
“Together, let's dive deep, rise up, and shine bright!”
The Experience Facilitator

The Mentor
Eda doesn’t believe in gate-keeping knowledge, skills or experience. She has created the Becoming The Journey “I AM” program FOR women and WITH women in mind. The Journey you will be embarking on is one of unlocking your full potential.
Eda invites you to a:
“Transformative journey to discover and empower your femininity. This program is crafted to help you align with your True Self and navigate life with confidence and joy. I'm here to provide the tools and support that you need to make lasting changes and live the fulfilled life you deserve. You shall evolve into your higher self whilst expanding into yourself.”
“Are you ready to come to your fullest power and manifesting potential?
“Are you ready to come to the fullest version of yourself as a women?”
The Therapist
Eda is certified in various modalities such as Kundalini Yoga, Reiki, Theta Healing, Chinese Energy Medicine, Sacred Sexuality, Shamanism, Plant Medicine, Pilates & Barre, The Nir Levi Method Bodywork & Therapy and has been a regular practitioner of Sound Healing, Sufi Meditations, energy healing, various types of regressions and systemic constellations for several years- all of which has created an additional living and ever changing layer on top of her traditional education of Political Studies followed by classical French cuisine training at Paul Bocuse Institute.
Eda is committed to honing her expression out of the creative chaos field by recognizing patterns as well as to her continuous quest of responding to new frequencies that cross her life’s path.
There is no such thing as a conventional therapy session with Eda. It might take shape of a simple friendly chat over a cup of Turkish coffee or a intense nosedive into the unknown layers of oneself from which the way back seems nearly impossible without the skilled guidance of the multi-talented Ms. Gungor.
