Somewhere along the way, you lost yourself.

It’s exhausting masking and conforming to the identity placed on you by society, family, and the unrealistic expectations that we place on ourselves.

You’ve carried the weight of everyone as the one who “has it together” though you’re falling apart inside. Maybe it wasn’t what you asked for, or maybe you enjoyed it, but let’s be honest – it’s become a bit heavy. You love being there for your family and friends, you work hard and do your job well, and you push through the exhaustion and burnout. But you’re tired of people-pleasing, hyper-independence, and the need to control everything to keep “it” together. This has been your truth for so long, but now you’re ready to believe something new – “I deserve to prioritize me.” The concept is foreign, but you’re ready to take the steps needed to reclaim and redefine your life in a way that is reflective of you – the authentic, unapologetic, confident YOU. You just need a safe, supportive space to make your wants a reality.

Hey you!

I’m Ayana! I specialize in people. I know what you’re thinking: “aren’t we all people? That’s not special.” Yes, we are, and that is exactly my point! I don’t specialize in a specific demographic or individual type of person because I don’t believe there is a single person who is undeserving or unworthy of a life that is fulfilling and healthy for them. I believe people are unique for a reason – to live and thrive as their authentic selves. I accept and support you right where you are and empower and encourage you along the journey of becoming who you want to be.

Helping You Prioritize Yourself & Step Into Your Authenticity

You’ve spent so much time showing up for others, but when was the last time you showed up for yourself? If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you are outside of your responsibilities, you’re not alone. I specialize in self-development, helping you break free from burnout, self-doubt, and the guilt of prioritizing yourself. Together, we’ll navigate the barriers keeping you from feeling confident, worthy, and at peace so you can build a life that truly aligns with who you are. Your well-being matters—let’s make space for it.

Helping You Navigate Faith and Feelings

I specialize in helping believers bridge the gap between faith and mental health, guiding them in strengthening their relationship with God while navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Whether you're questioning aspects of your faith, feeling unworthy due to past church experiences, or struggling with mental health while trying to follow Christ, I provide a space of unconditional support, grace, and healing—without the pressure to be perfect.

You’re tired of sticking to the same ole, same ole.

You’ve spent so much time showing up for others, molding yourself to meet expectations, and pushing your own needs aside. But when was the last time you showed up for yourself? When was the last time you truly felt aligned, seen, and valued—not for what you do, but for who you are?

Whether you’re navigating burnout, self-doubt, past wounds, or even trying to reconcile your faith and mental health, you don’t have to do it alone anymore. This is your space to breathe, heal, and rediscover the truest version of YOU.
