Testimonials

Here is what our clients have to say about their transformational journey through coaching and mentoring with Lead from Your Soul:

“Before joining this coaching, I was stuck in patterns that (of which I was unaware of) kept me from growing my business. I couldn’t define what success meant to me or what that goal really even was. Now I have a much better sense of where I’m going and where I’d like to end up. My experience was a journey of earth-shattering realizations which turned into life-changing transformations. Suddenly, I could communicate with loved ones the way I always wanted to in ways I couldn’t before. I could see the outcome of scenarios before having them based off of my changing perspectives and I could have more trust in knowing that everything has been right, ok, with me all along. I personally think this program should be essential to every human being if they want to grow or have peace in their life.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Aya over the last 6+ months and one of the things I truly love about coaching with Aya is her innate ability o coach from a place of curiosity and appreciativeness in a way that helps you to think and see things in a different way in order to help you grow or achieve your goals.  I appreciate Aya's presence during our sessions, it helps me to feel safe, to be heard and to help me find my true potential.”

"Dr. Aya is an amazing and incredible coach. I had gotten sidetracked and lost my reason for making healthy choices in eating and working out.Her encouragement and great advice helped me to get myself re-motivated to workout and continue upon my healthy lifestyle.   She would efficiently analyze and cut through my excuses and bring clarity to my goals. She also gave me an effective plan that I could follow easily and this helped me to achieve my goals. Thanks so much for everything."
