Today we’d like to introduce you to Aglaya.
Hi Aglaya, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My journey as an entrepreneur began in 2013 with the launch of Aglaya Piano. What started as a small educational business has since grown into a globally recognized platform, where I’ve had the privilege of helping students of all ages connect with their creativity through the transformative power of music. Over the years, I transitioned the business to an online model, enabling me to reach a wider audience and foster a community of passionate learners, all united by the belief that creativity can shape and enhance lives.
Through my work, I began to realize that creativity is not just confined to the arts—it’s a vital skill that transcends all areas of life and work. It powers innovation, problem-solving, and personal growth. I became deeply fascinated by the science behind creativity and how it intersects with mindfulness and well-being. This led me to launch NeuroAria, a creative wellness company designed to help teams and CEOs reduce stress, boost creativity, and enhance performance through neuroscience-backed, piano-based experiences.
At NeuroAria, we design transformative experiences that help professionals reconnect with their inner rhythm. Our programs are rooted in the latest neuroscience, and we use music as a powerful medium to turn tension into focus, collaboration, and flow. NeuroAria is not just about stress reduction, it’s about unlocking creativity in the workplace. Creativity, in my view, is not a luxury; it’s a necessity for innovation, leadership, and overall well-being.
Through our science-backed, piano-based workshops, we help individuals rewire their minds for calm, clarity, and inspiration. What sets us apart is our holistic approach: combining sound, science, and emotion to create deep, lasting transformation. Each session is guided by trained facilitators and musicians, blending artistic expression with evidence-based tools that enhance focus, empathy, and innovation. We go beyond traditional corporate wellness programs, offering an experience that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit.
As a musician, I deeply believe in the power of creativity in all its forms and expressions. Whether it’s through drawing, music, or movement, each creative outlet impacts our overall creative process in profound ways. I don’t see these forms as separate at all they all feed into one another and inspire us in unique and powerful ways. I’m passionate about exploring different creative pathways and awakening those “creative brains” to their fullest potential. Creativity is limitless, and it’s incredible to witness how it can transform individuals and organizations alike.
I feel incredibly lucky to be in a position where I can continue making a positive impact in people’s lives and businesses. NeuroAria is just the beginning, and I’m excited about what the future holds as we help more people unlock their creative potential, reduce stress, and lead with clarity and confidence.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Has it been a smooth road?
No, it hasn’t always been smooth, but I’ve come to realize that the bumps along the way have been some of the most powerful turning points in my journey. Every challenge has been an opportunity to grow, adapt, and refine my vision.
For example, when the pandemic hit in 2020, like so many others, I faced an unexpected challenge. With the world suddenly in turmoil and many people struggling with isolation and uncertainty, I knew I had to act. I made the bold decision to transition my business, Aglaya Piano, fully online. It was a big shift, but I embraced it with confidence because I knew how important the power of creativity and particularly music was during such stressful times.
As we moved to virtual platforms, I saw first-hand how much music and creativity helped people cope with the stress and emotional toll of the pandemic. I felt incredibly grateful to still be able to support others’ mental health and help them reconnect with their own inner creativity during such a difficult time. What started as a challenge transformed into an opportunity to broaden my reach and continue making an impact on a global scale.
And then, with NeuroAria, I faced a similar question: how could I take my passion for creativity and my experience as an entrepreneur and combine it with the power of science to help professionals? I already knew how impactful music could be, but I began to think deeper about how it influences us on a neurological level. I wanted to create something that would address not just the creative side but also the mental and emotional well-being of the people I work with, especially those in high-pressure environments like busy CEOs and teams.
That’s how NeuroAria was born. I realized that stress, burnout, and lack of creativity are common struggles for many professionals, and I saw an opportunity to provide a service that would directly address those issues in a unique and meaningful way. By merging neuroscience with music, we’ve been able to support companies and leaders in ways that promote mental clarity, innovation, and, most importantly, well-being.
The response has been incredible, and it’s amazing to see how many lives we’ve touched already. We are just getting started, and I’m so excited about the potential to continue helping organizations foster creativity, reduce stress, and unlock new levels of performance.
Looking back, I’m truly grateful for every challenge I’ve faced, because it’s these moments that have helped me pivot and create something bigger, better, and more impactful. And I feel incredibly lucky to continue doing this work to make a positive difference, one person at a time.
