Breathe. Feel. Heal.

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”

- Carl Jung

What are You Struggling With?

Are you feeling stuck, confused, a little lost in life at the moment? Perhaps you’re struggling to manage feelings of anxiety? Is it affecting your sleep & mood? Are you stuck in an anxious or ambivalent attachment style? Maybe Are you isolating yourself, seeking unhealthy escapes, self-sabotaging? Perhaps you're looking for more meaning and purpose? Are you feeling unfulfilled and demotivated? Are you feeling overwhelmed, too stressed and close to burnout? Maybe you’re scared to make a career change, scared to end a relationship or scared to start dating again? Are you seeking recovery support through depression or an addiction?

I see you. I hear you. I've walked in your shoes.

Breathe & Repeat after me:

It’s ok to feel the way I’m feeling. I feel [state the feeling]. I am not alone.

Asking for help & support is the bravest thing we can do - it is true strength and an act of self-love.

One of the most challenging things we face as humans is feeling trapped and uncertain of our own emotional states. I will help you understand, normalise and feel the emotion so you can learn how to honour and transform it into what it's meant to be. It's a normal human emotion to feel anxious and depressed at times. It is okay to feel angry. It is okay to feel sad. It is okay to feel uncertain.

I am a certified Therapeutic Coach and Breathwork therapist specialising in subconscious reprogramming therapy, holistic coaching and somatic practices like Breathwork dedicated to support and empower you through your healing and self-development journey.

This is your life - you get to live it with joy, love and courage. So many of us are waiting to start living our life. The time is now.

Anxiety Management & Transformation

Anxiety is a natural part of being human. My driving passion is to help you change your relationship with it so it no longer controls you. Rather than resist, avoid, numb or fear it, I will help you normalise it and teach you how to embrace, manage and transform it into something useful.

We can't think our way out of anxiety, it's happening in the body as a physiological, memorised response to a real or perceived threat based on past experiences and unresolved traumas. When we have had many acute stresses, trauma is created in the body and the nervous system LEARNS to live in a state of activation. This creates a dysregulated nervous system that can't then tell the difference between real or perceived threats. This is when anxiety becomes unmanageable - our thoughts fuel the feeling and the feeling fuels the thoughts which then affects our behaviour and sleep. With Breathwork, somatic movement and subconscious reprogramming therapies, you'll learn to regain control of the emotion, regulate your nervous system and change the feeling on the inside to relieve, manage & prevent day-to-day symptoms. We will also work on healing the roots of the anxiety and restoring safety and trust in the body.

Stress & Burnout

Many of us are in a hyperarousal state, which means the fight or flight mode (SNS) is over active and cortisol is elevated. A little stress is normal, but when it takes control, it creates trauma in the body, leading to physiological responses like anxiety, fatigue, and burnout. I will help you understand the root thoughts and feelings, learn acceptance and mindfulness, teach you to slow down and regulate with your breathe to activate the rest & digest mode (PNS) whilst co-creating solutions and teaching practices so stress is no longer your way of life.

Anxious Attachment & Unhealthy Relationship Patterns

Anxious & Ambivalent attachments are very common and rooted in our childhood and relational traumas. It helps explain toxic relationship patterns & difficulty finding & sustaining healthy, lasting relationships. Trapped in compulsive thinking, fearing rejection, searching for proof of a disconnection whilst also looking for reassurance... Sounds familiar?

The good news is that attachment systems can be changed.

With self-compassion I will help you heal unresolved traumas and move into secure attachment. Through conscious coaching, subconscious reframing, inner child healing & somatic body work your nervous system will release and heal stored trauma, learn security and through neuroplasticity reframe limiting beliefs and unlearn sabotaging thoughts and behaviours.

You will also get to be part of support community of others working through this.

Trauma Release & Healing

Trauma is not what happened to you, it’s what happens inside of us. Unresolved trauma gets imprinted and stored in the body, leading to a dysregulated nervous system. It's like scar tissue, if left unhealed it grows thicker. It creates a feedback loop between the nervous system and amygdala (emotional part of the brain) before the rational part can even make sense of it. This creates an autopilot thought, feeling and behaviour loop. When we bring conscious awareness to the pattern we can start to reframe the subconscious mind and do the deeper somatic release work to heal, regulate and teach the body and mind to feel safe & loved again. We need to feel to heal, and this requires a lot of self-compassion which I will teach you so you can start to live more freely as your true, authentic self.

Inner Child Healing

Our inner child is us. It's all of our emotional and mental experiences since in utero that were happening in our bodies during moments of not feeling safe, seen, heard, recognised, valued or loved, regardless of how much our parents cared and loved us. Our nervous system is an imprint of these past experiences, traumas and suppressed emotions. Children need help to regulate their emotions and nervous systems, so how our parents showed up, how much unresolved trauma they had, and how their nervous systems were have an impact on us. We all have some degree of childhood trauma, whether we got lost in a supermarket, heard our parents argue or experienced violence. If we were not made to feel loved, recognised, important and safe in these moments, our nervous system learns to feel unsafe and we believe we're not good enough or not loveable. We develop defence and self-soothing mechanisms that become hardwired into our survival and the nervous system becomes increasingly dysregulated trying to maintain as adults. This is often a cause of attachment disorders and low self-worth.

With a lot of self-compassion, love and kindness I'll help you connect to your inner you, with the power of your breath you can regulate and release, and by accessing your deep subconscious you will discover what his/her needs were and what her self-worth was based to know how what you need for yourself now.

Sleep Disorders

We all know how important a restful and peaceful sleep is to our mood and overall wellbeing. One of the main symptoms of anxiety and stress is wakefulness, restfulness, night sweats and difficulty falling back to sleep due to a racing mind and racing heart. I will help you identify the root of the sleep disorder, use therapies like hypnosis to teach the mind to relax and let go and facilitate Breathwork & movement to help you discharge an over-active sympathetic nervous system. This will help release suppressed emotion and unresolved trauma and put your nervous system in a restorative state.

Meet Aliyah
“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness of other people.” - Carl Jung

I am a therapeutic & holistic coach specialising in Subconscious Reprogramming & Breathwork therapy. Like many in the therapy field, it was in my search for anxiety relief & healing of my own trauma that I stepped into my life purpose to help others struggling to navigate & understand their emotions and facilitate their healing & self-development journeys.

I hear you and I see you. Once a victim in my own story, I hit rock bottom and took personal responsibility for my life. Having tried counselling & CBT in the past (which helped at the time), I needed to go deeper. I discovered another realm of therapies, from subconscious reprogramming to somatic therapies which elevated my healing.

It was such a powerful experience that I found my calling and trained as a therapeutic coach, choosing to specialise in subconscious & somatic therapies like NLP, Hypnotherapy, EFT (tapping), inner child healing & Breathwork. I learnt the way I was feeling & behaving was not all in my mind but in my body. It was a product of a dysregulated nervous system, a hypersensitive, ambivalent attachment style & unresolved trauma in my body.

I am dedicated to help you achieve lasting change & access deep healing by aligning the ‘mind’ and ‘body’ work. I am humbled to have helped clients manage, heal & understand the roots of their anxiety, anger, depression, attachment disorders and substance abuse. I have seen clients connect with their inner child, release suppressed emotions & heal old trauma, allowing them to make transitions in their career, family & romantic relationships. At the same time, I’ve co-created solutions, designed action plans & daily practices to help clients develop deeper spiritual connection, regain a sense of control in the now & cultivate healthier habits.

As I continue to cleanse & heal, I choose to function from love and not fear. I trust myself & the process more. I am no longer stuck in the past or future which keeps anxiety at bay. When the feeling does appear, I honour it and then manage it by breathing, meditating, slowing down, connecting to something higher than myself and serving and helping others including myself. Oh yeah, and smiling a lot 🙂

My Mission
Breath. Feel. Heal.

I chose to dedicate my life to helping others on their healing and self-development journey so they can step into their true, authentic selves.

My mission is to help you upgrade and transform the way you think and feel so you can become everything you’re meant to be, not what you ‘think’ you’re supposed to be.

By teaching you how to tap into the power of your own breath, helping you access your subconscious mind to unlearn and reprogram old patterns, and committing to conscious daily practices, you can elevate your healing, release trauma in the body and become empowered with feelings of joy, love and courage.

Pillars of My Practice

The 3 principles of my practice to guide you to a more fulfilling life.

JOY

I will teach you how to cultivate JOY into your life daily, especially with the little things. This will come in morning practices, corrective exercises & bedtime rituals, mandatory smiling & action planning, all of which you'll be accountable to me to for ensure consistency and progress.

We will do deeper somatic work to connect with the felt sense of joyful, happy thoughts & memories, and combine this with subconscious reprogramming to create & strengthen neural pathways towards these wonderful feelings and make joy a way of life.

You get to enJoy this journey of life.

LOVE

I will teach you how to fall in love with yourself. We were not taught how to love ourselves, most of us have to learn. To love yourself wholly will teach you the art of true love. First you must cultivate self-compassion, then you can honour your emotion and then start to make kind, loving choices.

As you function from love, it will trump fear. You'll find peace in solitude. You'll learn to understand, meet & prioritise your needs. You'll acknowledge the parts of you that you’re scared of, resisting or numbing & discover these parts actually love you & have a positive intention for you. You'll discover your core gifts, that make you, you.

With love comes faith, this is not necessarily in a religious context but in a deeper connection with yourself and a higher spiritual connection. This will allow you to heal your inner child, start becoming the person you want to be and attract healthy relationships of inspiration into your life.

COURAGE

You will tap into the COURAGE within you to change the things you can (i.e. you in the here & now) and find the serenity to accept the things you cannot change. With courage you will be empowered to admit defects of character (we all have them e.g. selfish, dishonesty), find the gifts in any mistakes and painful experiences, let go of resentments and feel what you need to feel by leaning into the the discomfort and transforming them into their higher purpose. You will empower yourself to take wise, helpful, truthful action, create healthy boundaries, become more honest to yourself and others, and ultimately move into your true, authentic self.

My Techniques

We will go deeper than talking therapy and work with the subconscious (unconscious) mind, conscious mind and the body. I combine subconscious reprogramming therapies, like NLP, hypnotherapy and somatic therapy like Breathwork and tapping (EFT) with conscious psychodynamic coaching to see faster progress, make bigger shifts in mindset and do the necessary emotional healing in order to live fully in the now.

Mindfulness & Meditation

Mindfulness is a tool we build into each session through practices and exercises. Ultimately you'll learn how to reconnect, find serenity in acceptance and be more present. A lot of the work we do will be based on the here and now, we will not dwell too long in the past. Meditation is a technique I will use at certain points to teach you how to connect and access inner peace. I will also use visualisation meditations to help you access the subconscious mind without a full on hypnosis, but allow you do go inwards to see and feel and connect to your inner child, your higher self and even your higher power, however you may see that.

Breathwork Therapy

Breathwork is your internal medicine to self-heal, self-regulate and relieve, manage and prevent stress, anxiety and depression. The breath is your most powerful resource you have within you to reset & regulate your nervous system, regain control over emotions and release trauma in the body. I use Breathwork as a somatic therapy and tool during coaching sessions for trauma release work. I also do 1-1 breathwork sessions

Transformational Breathwork also leads you into thi hypnotic state if you breathe deep enough for long enough you enter theta brainwave state and temp shutdown the prefrontal cortex, which is where I offer positive reframing, and invite in your affirmations and intentions.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

We need to feel to heal. EFT is a type of energy psychology that uses acupuncture points in the body. When an emotional experience is unresolved, it can create blocks or imbalance in the body’s energy channels (meridians), which can lead to emotional/physical symptoms. By tapping on these points whilst focusing on the issue allows suppressed emotions to surface so you can feel and release them and allow the blocks to be removed and free flowing energy through the channels. It is a powerful subconscious technique that complements NLP, Hypnotherapy Breathwork which is why I combine it within the coaching sessions. It is a tool I teach you so you can use it at any point of day to help relieve and manage emotions like anxiety, stress, sleep disorders and other fears.

Psychodynamic, Holistic Coaching

This integrates the best of a more traditional psychotherapeutic approach with client-led, solution-based coaching.

Together we will co-create solutions and strategies as I facilitate your healing. Each session incorporates therapeutic techniques. As I work intuitively, I may suggest one technique or a combination. After some deeper therapeutic work, we'll set short and long term goals that you are accountable to me for to keep you on track, monitor progress and reinforce the positive (subconscious) change work.

Consistency but flexibility is key. With check-ins between sessions we can maintain new habits, prioritise healing and self-development and see progress.

Master Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

NLP is based on the relationship between the mind and nervous system - how we process our experiences, perceive others and the outside world and how we represent these on the inside via our five senses. Overall, this creates our perceptions of reality, a collection of both external and internal experiences since childhood and even in utero. This perception of reality is what drives our subconscious thoughts and beliefs. It is this perception of reality that is changeable. 80-95% of what we do is controlled by the subconscious mind. Since thoughts drive feelings and behaviour, we can therefore change the way we feel on the inside by accessing the subconscious via various NLP techniques. We can identify, unlearn and reframe patterns of limiting beliefs, toxic thoughts, unhelpful mindsets, install new behaviours. Neuroscience proves our brain’s ability to adapt through a process of neuroplasticity. READ ON

Healing Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is another subconscious therapy, which is why it can be used alongside NLP. It helps identify, unlearn and create new ways of thinking, feeling and therefore doing. It relaxes you into your theta brainwave state, the state just before deep sleep and the state babies are in. This is the state where our subconscious mind is open and receptive to change. I like to use hypnotherapy where the client asks for it or as an optional and additional tool to access key memories to help with inner child healing (inner child regression) and trauma healing. It also helps reinforce the positive change work by teaching the subconscious your truths by reframing negative thoughts, perceptions and limiting belief. It's a great tool for relaxation and helping with sleep as well. I offer pre-recorded hypnosis to help with sleep.

What Clients Say

"Before I worked with Aliyah, I was new to breathwork. I’d never worked with a professional coach before and working with Aliyah felt comfortable and right. I immediately felt like I could be open with her and that she truly cared. Our breathwork session was exactly what I needed at the time and we really delved deep into me personally through talking therapy & subconscious reprogramming therapy followed by breathwork. I learned so much about myself in that session, she helped me see and understand underlying patterns and beliefs that can be hard to see on your own. I came out with a clear strategy on how to navigate my current situation with more ease, intention and care. The follow up was very detailed and filled with suggestions and exercises as to how to move forward. I felt better in my body, soul and mind and would recommend anyone to work with Aliyah)."
