My Mission + Methods.

My name is Alaya and it is my wish for you to feel vital and tuned-in, free and expansive, potent and resilient, strong and capable, and by all means HEALTHY as you integrate all that wants to be a part of you, through body-mind-spirit connection and mindful coaching. I want you to achieve wellness your way, and I’m here to help.

My mission is to help you come home to your truest self through energetic alignment within your body, mind and soul, through mindful holistic coaching. What does that look like for you? That’s what we find out together through our initial exploration, and fine tune as we go. I coach in packages of 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, and incorporate the modalities I’ve trained in, with awareness around your energy and desired outcomes. 

My coaching creates a sacred container for you, in which you can explore all the forms of wellness from my many modalities, with adaptability and flexibility to match your schedule and energy levels, as you hone and strengthen toward lasting vitality. 

As a practitioner and coach, I’m an active, hands-on space-holder, playful teacher, social advocate, research nerd, and deep listener. I aim to help you understand how to take action toward your desired outcomes, and find your own version of wellness, by adding tangible resources and practices to your routine, in addition to gentle intuitive reflection and guidance as you work through layers of self discovery and healing.
