“I CAN NOW TRUST MYSELF — I NEVER USED TO FEEL THIS WAY!”

"To get everyone’s approval growing up, I tried to cut off the parts of myself that didn’t fit. I used to binge eat and drink under stress, partly because those cut-off parts of me were starving.

Instead of being a wild, crazy force, sabotaging my career and life, now those parts are amazing partners to me.  And fabulous sources of energy.  

The turning point was gaining access to a source of inner wisdom I didn’t know I had, that I now trust 100%.

I’m a better mom, wife, communicator. I’ve gotten clear on what programs to offer next to my clients. I make great choices. I have a sense of deep satisfaction with my life. I have far more strength and grit than I realized. 

I believe that I am whole … and from this, everything that I want and need can flow."

“LIYANA HELPED ME TRANSFORM THINGS I WAS WORKING ON FOR 10+ YEARS.”

"I had gotten really good at running a highly profitable business, keeping on my son’s nap schedule, and making sure that the to-do list was handled, but my inability to enjoy and let go was causing fights and resentments with my husband. 

I now understand more fully what it means to be — and do business as — a woman, to stay healthy amid my constantly-changing emotions, hormones, and cycles.

I discovered that I need spaciousness in my life in order to feel sexy. Our love-making has reached new heights and it feels so good to crave my husband. 

I now know that my marriage will last — where as before I was secretly worried."

Nothing is — or ever was — wrong with me. I was just too busy to listen to my body. 

“LIYANA IS PURE GENIUS. GET HER IN YOUR CORNER."

"The clarity to leave my marriage. Then falling in epic love.  The courage to make my way through unbelievably difficult heartbreak, and then to know when the right time was for me to have a baby. Doubling then tripling my business while having energy left over for what’s next.

I spent so much of my life tied up in knots, not knowing what was right for me and what next steps to take. I know that my connection to and trust in ME is my anchor and the thing that makes it all work, and that connection is exactly what LiYana helped me uncover. 

LiYana is pure genius. She’s my guru, and I’m not into gurus. She’s that good. Get her in your corner."

“THE LOVE I HAVE FOR MYSELF NOW IS PRICELESS.”

"My entire life I struggled to love myself on a deep level. I was reeeally hard on myself all the time. My inner voices were cruel, I was jealous, lacking confidence, afraid of what others thought of me, and afraid of being alone.

My work with LiYana left me feeling renewed, whole, and worthy. 

I’m aware of my strengths, I live with intention, and I have my inner wisdom to guide me. My self-care is a fierce, devotional, sacred form of self-love. I attracted a partner to me late in life, and we were (finally) able to have a child. 

My life is not perfect, and yet I feel equipped to handle any great challenges that come my way."

“I LIKE MYSELF, EVEN AT MY VERY WORST.”

"For decades as a Vajrayana Buddhist Lama, I was devoted to my lineage, but also very aware that it was originally created by men, mainly for men. I was curious what would become possible if feminine energy, the body, sensuality, and pleasure were included as valid parts of my life and spiritual path. 

The change of orientation that this work brings, has changed everything for me. That’s not hyperbole. I do a lot of different kinds of personal growth work, so it’s not always easy to figure out what is actually helping. But in this case, I can. 

As I have been broke, overweight, depressed, even temporarily homeless, the work I did with LiYana helped me not just survive, but also to develop a loving relationship with myself and with life.

I no longer see myself as a project to fix. My work with clients is more fulfilling. I don’t make myself smaller around other women. I’m able to sit with my feelings instead of run from them or try to fix them right away. Ironically, I’m able to experience more pleasure and joy.

When I look at myself and my life through that lens, doing this work has been beyond worth it; it’s been priceless."

“I FEEL CLEAR, CONFIDENT, AND WORTHY OF RESPECT, EVEN IN MY MALE-DOMINATED WORKPLACE.”

"Working with the US military — an extremely male-dominated environment — it’s an understatement to say that I felt anxious and uncomfortable in my skin. I am a smart, accomplished woman but I had a constant stream of self-criticism telling me I was not ‘assertive’ or ‘masculine’ enough and unworthy of voicing my opinions.

Part of me doubted that the answer was Feminine Genius! But as I got more in tune with my feminine energy, everything started to shift in a non-scary, non-invasive way. I sit up taller, feel worthy of respect, and know my contributions are valuable, even under the pressure of reporting to top officials in the military.

And perhaps not surprisingly, I got an unexpected bonus and a raise, and was asked to lead an initiative for women’s leadership in my firm. I found my voice to leave a stifling relationship and courage to feel okay ‘alone.’ 

Six months ago, if you had told me this would be my life, I wouldn’t have believed it."

“SAYING YES TO MYSELF (RATHER THAN EVERYONE ELSE) WAS THE TURNING POINT.”

"I wasn’t trusting myself. Old doubts and fears were paralyzing me in key moments. I was getting overwhelmed to the point of shut down. I felt desperate, frantic, that I’d never reach my goals & desires.

Investing in work with LiYana was a vitalizing love letter to self and soul, that I am worth it, I am important, and I matter. 

Those of us who teach and lead also need to be held strongly as we do our big work and dive deeper into who we are becoming. With LiYana, I was strongly held, fiercely encouraged, and unconditionally supported as I walked through the fire and reemerged with wings. 

The negative self destructive loops have turned way down. I feel solid. Centered in my unique soul purpose. I feel clear about my own definition of success. And I trust myself to get there. I know that the work I am committed to, matters. I know my presence makes a difference. 

Investing in myself in this way raised the bar. After almost giving up on finding a right-fitting life partner in my 40s, we will soon be welcoming a baby. I recognize myself again, I know my gifts, and I feel a sense of worthiness deep in my bones.

I know now that I not only have the capacity to fly, but I am destined to."

“I FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS, SO THE ROI WAS 1,000%!”

"I came into my work with LiYana so lonely, frustrated, and feeling like my life had no meaning. I had a really well-paid sales job which I “phoned in” most days. With every bite I took and every mile I ran I had a punishing relationship to my body.  

I desperately wanted to know what I am here on earth to contribute and yet I felt like I didn’t understand my passions, or even my likes.

I was hit with the huge realization that my perfectionism was acting against me. It was killing every idea I would come up with or attempt I would try to make.

I left my job and San Francisco to start my life. I made the leap and gave up control. 

I began teaching dance fitness classes and traveling. I fell madly in love with an amazing man. I’m no longer with him, but the internal shifts that allowed me to meet him and let him in, are permanently mine.

So what are those internal shifts? That the answers are in me. That I have choice about how I feel, moment to moment. That I know whether I want something — or not.

I know how to be kind to myself. I look in the mirror and I like what and who I see. I realized that my “purpose” is my happiness and my life is mine for the taking, imperfections and all."

“I WENT FROM CONSTANT FRUSTRATION TO FEELING WEALTHY, VIBRANT, AND CLEAR.”

"I looked at the way LiYana works — allowing versus forcing, trusting her internal navigation even when it isn’t easy, and still living a full, pleasurable life, the respect she garners from the people in the world who I admire the most — all of this had me say, ‘This woman walks her walk. Her life is congruent with what she teaches. I want what she’s got. Take me there.’

At the time, I was doing work that felt unfulfilling; I resented my clients, was annoyed with my workload, and struggled to make ends meet.

LiYana helped me get the pleasure and joy back into my work.

I now not only LOVE LOVE LOVE my business and the work I do, I make great money and am able to travel 30 weeks of the year enjoyably.

After our coaching or belief re-patterning work together, I rarely remember what I came to LiYana for, because the changes become so obvious and part of who I am that I forget there was a way before that.

Working with LiYana has been a game changer!"

“AS A COACH MYSELF, I PROFOUNDLY UP-LEVELED MY OWN COACHING THROUGH THE DEEP WORK WE DID TOGETHER.”

"I was frantically trying to build a successful business (and failing). I felt lost. I was suffering from not-enough-itis and had been approaching my life, relationships, and my business development from fear and lack. I was bleeding money as I kept investing in business solutions.  

I reached a tipping point where i realized I needed something else entirely. Enter … soul healing work with LiYana.

We unearthed deeply-seeded fears. I grew to truly honor myself as a woman who deserves to thrive in every area of my life. My “come-from” shifted from fear to the authentic essence of my deep desires.

I am aligned with my true purpose and my true self. I am able to shed obstacles left and right without regret or attachment. So many incredible business opportunities began flowing to me now, it was almost too much for me to handle. Almost 😉

So, when i say my Feminine Genius can create miracles, it’s no exaggeration. The amount of progress I made in a few months is equal to what might have take me years to come to on my own, if ever.

LiYana is the best at what she does, no kidding."

“TRANSFORMATION ON WARP SPEED.”

"I just wanted to feel sure of myself, not living in fear of disapproval or dislike, able to make my own decisions and stand on my own two feet daily.

I have stopped second guessing myself based on someone else’s opinion. 

I belong. Everywhere. That’s really incredible for a woman who’s always felt like an outsider when in a group, even family most of the time.

Being my own guidepost has given me a new level of self confidence. I am able to ask my inner guidance when I need direction and stop long enough to truly listen.

Working with LiYana was fast, efficient, and easy – and nothing short of a miracle."

“I NOW KNOW MYSELF TO BE A BEAUTIFUL, SEXY GODDESS AT ANY SIZE.” 

I came to LiYana thinking small and feeling small, yet also feeling like I was ‘too much.’ I had no idea of how to revive and feed my creative fire.

LiYana helped me reconnect to my power, joy, and deep desires — which has helped me recover from addictive patterning, depression, and panic — so it has been worth every penny, many times over.

My body has become a wondrous instrument, strong and brave. I enjoy rather than avoid challenges. I now have BOUNDARIES. I trust my intuition to guide me toward the good and away from harm. 

My creative juices (and others!) are flowing again!

"I CAN SAY HONESTLY FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT I LOVE MY LIFE!”

For most of my life, I felt a disturbing level of numbness in my body and resultantly in my life. Despite having the partner, the house, the community, the stuff, the career, I felt incomplete, unsatisfied, itchy, impatient, and out of alignment.

LiYana helped me listen to myself with such grace and love and ease.

I have connected to my purpose, ended (or adjusted) relationships that no longer serve me, fearlessly pursued that which makes my heart/mind/body come alive, and enjoy (rather than endure) my workday. Whereas I used to try to control myself, my life, and everyone in it, I now have a sense of partnership with life.

The investment I made in me and this sweet, gorgeous, yummy life of mine was sooooooooo worth it!"

“I AM A FEMININE LEADER WHO FORGOT TO NURTURE MYSELF.”

I was feeling over-worked and exhausted emotionally. My work was fulfilling but I had been just doing and doing and doing all the time. My soul felt tired.

My main belief — that I have to do all of this on my own — shifted, which meant I could stop re-enacting it over and over again. I stopped micromanaging my team, and they are happier and healthier as a result. 

I now know that I am here to make big change in the world, by example. I now know that people are honored to help me on my mission. In fact, receiving their help lights us both up. 

I love being in LiYana’s presence. I consider her wisdom rare. And myself lucky to learn from her."
