At Mont Rose College, we measure success not only by certificates earned or careers begun, but by the meaningful journeys our students embark on long after graduation. One such journey belongs to Petya Ikonomova, whose path has blossomed into a powerful blend of academic achievement, spiritual growth, and creative expression. Her story reminds us that success is not a destination, but a continuous unfolding of passion, purpose, and personal evolution.
A Journey That Bridges Two Worlds
Petya’s story begins within the classrooms of Mont Rose College, where she completed her HND in Business and Marketing, a Top-Up in Business Management, and later her Diploma in Education and Training (DET) qualification. These academic foundations shaped her understanding of the business world, but her heart was drawn to something deeper. After leaving MRC, Petya embarked on a profound spiritual journey. Today, she stands as a published author, a classical Homoeopath, a Schuessler Salt therapist, and a master practitioner of Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki. She has successfully blended the corporate with the holistic, proving that education is not a limitation, but a gateway to endless possibilities. Her story reinforces a powerful truth: When knowledge meets passion, extraordinary paths are born.
An Alumna Who Captivated Our Students
During her recent visit, Petya returned with warmth, honesty, and a willingness to share the challenges and triumphs that shaped her career. Students listened intently as she spoke about her book, The Stop of Silence – Openhearted of One Soul, a bilingual collection of poetry and wisdom that reflects her spiritual philosophy and lived experiences. What deeply moved everyone was the openness with which she discussed her transition from business to homoeopathy and Reiki. Conversations sparked across the room as students explored how alternative healing practices could intersect with their own life journeys. The moment became even more meaningful when Petya was joined by her sister, Silvia Stoyanova, another proud MRC alumna. With an HND and Top-Up degree in both Business and IMBA, Silvia has been an unwavering pillar of support for Petya, serving as a reminder that behind every great success story often stands someone offering encouragement, love, and belief.
An Evening of Peace, Poetry, and Connection
Petya’s visit continued with a serene evening book presentation, where students and guests experienced an intimate gathering filled with soothing music, reflective conversation, and heartfelt poetry readings. For many in the audience, it was the first time they experienced such a calming and spiritually enriching atmosphere. While the author was introducing her work with students and guests, she was also channelling her Reiki energy, which created a calm and relaxing experience. Attendees described leaving the session uplifted, centred, and inspired, a testament to Petya’s unique ability to connect with people on an emotional and energetic level. By sharing passages from The Stop of Silence – Openhearted of One Soul, she opened a window into her creative mind, offering deeper insight into her writing and the wisdom behind each poem, reminding us that:
- Success is not defined by job titles
- Success is not measured solely by professional milestones
- Success is the inner transformation you undergo while pursuing your calling
This captures the core of our aim at Mont Rose College: to showcase our alums’s progress, motivate current students to complete their education, seek support from the Employability department for career opportunities, and become the best version of themselves.Â
