Rise to Fame
While going through a rough patch in her life during 2009, Maria discovered ASMR videos on YouTube. Suffering from Depression, she used to watch the videos for hours to overcome boredom and to fall asleep. ASMR helped her relax and prioritize various aspects of her life.
As the ASMR community was very small back then, she was inspired to contribute and started to create her own videos after joining YouTube on February 24, 2011.
However, it would take her some time till she would be comfortable with the quality of her videos.
She posted her first ASMR video titled "Whispering in English and Russian and flipping through a magazine" on June 3, 2011.
According to her, during this time she found the right triggers to make ASMR videos, and her channel grew steadily ever since.[8]

She was taken in by a group of Russian students, but had to literally sleep on the floor as they had no furniture. During this time, she became involved with a guy who lent her financial support, and the two later got married.
