some background
my story
I’m Olesia, and my story is woven from the places I’ve been and the women I’ve met. Born and raised in Ukraine, I grew up surrounded by strength and resilience. My roots run deep into the Ukrainian soil, and from a young age, I was drawn to the beauty and power within every woman. But I always felt there was more to discover—more to the story of who we are.
So I traveled. I wandered across continents, meeting women from different cultures, each carrying their own version of beauty, grace, and untold strength. I watched how they moved through life, how they nurtured, fought, and loved. In every woman, I saw a spark—a deep, raw strength that was sometimes hidden, but always there. It moved me, changed me.
From a young age, I knew I was different. I couldn’t conform to the norms that tried to box me in. I refused to be tamed. I ran barefoot through the jungles, climbed the tallest trees, and let the sun and the wind kiss my skin.
As I grew, I saw how women around me struggled under the weight of expectations, hiding their true selves behind masks of conformity. I knew I had to do something. I had to remind them of their power, their wildness, their freedom.

my story
Now, I live in Bali. I came here looking for peace, for inspiration, and found myself falling in love with Asia, with the rhythm of its culture and the simplicity of life here. Bali opened my heart in ways I didn’t expect. It showed me that beauty doesn’t always shout. It whispers. It’s in the small things—the softness of the wind, the warmth of the earth under your feet, the quiet power in stillness. This island and its people have taught me to see the world differently, and I want to share that through what I create.
Embodiah isn’t just a brand. It’s my way of telling the story of every woman I’ve met—of you, of me. It’s a tribute to the beauty we carry within, the kind of beauty that doesn’t need to be loud to be felt. Every piece I design is a reminder of that quiet strength, that connection to something deeper, something rooted in nature.
So here’s my truth: I don’t design for the woman who wants to fit in. I design for the woman who is unafraid to be herself, who knows that her femininity is her power. I create for the woman who carries the strength of all the women who came before her.
This isn’t just about swimwear. This is about you, about us. A celebration of everything we are—feminine, wild, soft, strong.
Welcome to Embodiah. Welcome to my story, and yours too.
