hi, i’m alé.

(they/siya)

i’m a multi-disciplinary creative + breathworker + faith healer + intuitive guide

i love putting my heart & soul into creating soft spaces for people to gather in community & heal together. where we can let go of everything we’ve been told we’re “supposed to be”. where we can accept & share our whole selves, however imperfectly. wanna co-create meaningful spaces together? i’d love to hear from you to see how we may collaborate.

MUTUAL AID

please support the accessibility of natural & ancestral healing practices

I am currently fundraising for a healer’s network + clinic project I’m organizing.

The intention of this project is to connect holistic healing practitioners & support traumatized communities–especially 2SQTBIPOC–in feeling more resourced & receiving more adequate care for their emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. I intend to organize the project in Columbus first–with the hope to extend it to my hometown–Cleveland, OH–in the future.

if you have the means, any amount is helpful! please send your contributions to:

offerings

in addition to these trainings, my offerings are a culmination of learnings from my personal lived experience navigating chronic illness & chronic pain and ancestral wisdom passed on to me through my decade long journey to find relief. I am now fully free & recovered from that daily suffering & hope to share some of the tools & resources that were foundational & essential to the rest of my healing efforts.

  • I am a certified Mindfulness and Compassion Meditation Teacher and 200HR YTT Yoga Instructor. I received my training through Heartfelt Yoga and ThePath. I currently offer group meditation classes called Sacred Stillness on Sundays at 10AM and Restorative Yoga Asana at 7PM on Mondays (both) at Heartfelt Yoga.

    Techniques I may guide include but are not limited to:

    • Mindfulness of breath
    • Mindfulness of sounds
    • Mindfulness of thoughts + emotions
    • Body sensations
    • Metta
    • Vipassana
    • Walking/moving
    • Opening to life
    • Noting
    • Chakra cleansing
    • Affirmations

  • with a focus on restoration of body mind & spirit, I offer group classes of gentle restorative, yin & vinyasa asana. my approach aims to honor the Eastern roots of yoga in India through the incorporation of all 8 Limbs of Yoga (rather than just asana–movement–as most practice here in the US). in our fast-paced, capitalist world I believe the most powerful medicine we have can only be reached by slowing down & tending to our inner garden.

    my yoga offerings may include but are not limited to the ancient teachings of:
    • yamas– such as brahmacharya (right use of energy)
    • niyamas–such as saucha (cleanliness), santosha (contentment), tapas (discipline), svadhyaya (self-study), isvara pranidaha (surrender)
    • asana (movement)
    • pranayama: breathing techniques
    • dharana: focused concentration
    • dhyana: meditation

  • I am an intuitive Earth-based healer, ancestral medicine practitioner & ritualist approaching dis-ease from a holistic lens—with care for mind, body & spirit. please reach out to inquire about one-on-one private healing sessions custom tailored to you, your body, as well as your goals & intentions.

    these offerings are informed by:
    • a decade of first-hand experience living with chronic illness & chronic pain
    • three decades living with undiagnosed adhd, depression, anxiety & cptsd
    • experiental wisdom gained from my journey to a full recovery
    • personal experience in healing intergenerational trauma, gender-based violence, s-xual trauma, medical trauma, religious trauma, & race-based trauma
    • years of traditional medicine & healing trainings from my own ancestral lineage practices as well as others’
    • the teachings of the sacred Lands I belong to

꩜ if you are looking for a facilitator for your company wellness program, retreats, or other community initiatives/projects, please reach out. I would love to hear from you & discuss how we may collaborate. I'm open to working with large, corporate companies as well as small, local or independently owned businesses.

P A S T C R E A T I O N S

i've spent the last decade doing work I enjoy as a creative freelancer. Though this is not my latest work, you can see some of my past projects here. I am currently shifting to focus more on the creation of community-based offerings [listed above].

i am however open to designing with orgs/projects that are aligned with my values, goals & interests around holistic, decolonial approaches to health & wellness that centers more accesible care for 2STBIPOC & other minoritized communities. Healers, mystics, and other health & wellness practitioners or businesses, reach out. I’d love to discuss potential collaborations.
