About Me

I’m Isla, so glad you’re here.

My healing journey began in 2010 when I was seeking help for substance abuse. The moment I got sober, yoga, breathwork, and meditation became essential parts of my recovery—and eventually, my life’s work.

Today, my greatest passion is guiding people through embodied healing and helping them live a life of joy and authenticity.

Shivaism Tantra & Bhakti Yoga

As a longtime devoted yogini, my love and learnings are rooted in Shaivism Tantra — a path centered on energy, embodiment, and spiritual awakening — and Bhakti Yoga, the heart-opening practice of love and devotion.

When working with clients, I don’t teach from a specific lineage. Much of what I share arises intuitively, drawing inspiration from both ancient Indian wisdom and modern Western approaches.

Embodied Healing Through Breathwork & Kundalini Yoga

I’ve been guiding private clients and groups since 2022. I started as a vinyasa yoga instructor and soon began facilitating Holotropic-style breathwork. When I learned how quickly we can experience true peace and clarity by working with our own energy, breathwork and Kundalini yoga naturally became the heart of my offerings.

The Practice of Creativity

Artists and creative professionals are often drawn to work with me. Creativity is their livelihood and greatest source of joy and purpose—and one of the first things people notice when they begin regulating their nervous system through this kind of work is a significant increase in energy, creativity, and inspiration.

But the truth is, we are all creative beings. You don’t have to be an “artist” to live in creative flow. Every human is born to create—in their own way. Self-expression is the source of meaning, joy, and service to others. The more you open and reconnect with your body, the more you experience this firsthand.

My View On Plant Medicine

I’m sometimes asked if I facilitate “plant medicine” supported sessions. My firm answer is no. I take pride in being a substance-free practitioner and holding a safe, clean space with no gray zones.

With many years of sobriety, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the complexities of addiction. This has become one of my areas of expertise. I’ve guided hundreds of clients into embodied sobriety and a life aligned with purpose.

If you’re ready for a bigger, more fulfilling life—and want to experience a practice that delivers results beyond your imagination—reach out. Let’s explore how I can support you.

Love,
Isla
