About Me
Hi I’m Ayla, I’m certified life coach dedicated to helping individuals discover their purpose in this life. My journey into coaching began back in 2018 when I resigned from my high stress corporate job and took a leap of faith into exploring one of deep passions, yoga. Due to my innate need to regulate my nervous system, I moved to Bali to become a student in yoga and meditation. Through my experience of building deep interpersonal connections and embarking on a total self discovery, did my purpose as coach emerge - in total service to others.
I was born in South Africa to an Italian mom and Dutch dad and spent my youth mostly outdoors and playing sports. I love to live an active lifestyle and this often shows up in my life as playing tennis, going to Pilates, taking long walks through the city or dancing my ass off. I have a toy poodle named Valentina who I treat as though she’s my child. I’m a natural adventurer, traveling often and chasing the sun. Im a Gemini ascendant and Sagittarius moon. Little things I love include: star gazing, matcha lattes, reading self help books, journaling my thoughts every morning, visiting art galleries, long outdoor lunches in the summer, yoga nidra, islands and the city I live in, Milano.
I created Alive by Ayla because helping others to find purpose in life is what makes me feel alive. I am certified as a Life and Success Coach by the Jay Shetty certification school. My vision is to empower a generation of women and men who are brave and bold enough to seek out what truly makes them tick. A purposeful life has a profound effect on personal wellbeing and feeling alive. I help my clients make the shift from their perceived current reality to their perceived ideal reality and experience deeply what I means to be ALIVE.
Time does not define an experience, the perspective of change defines the experience.
MY COACHING PHILOSOPHY
The ALIVE Approach
Awareness of self
Mindfulness cultivates self-insight, which is the basis of acceptance. Knowing yourself and your values and priorities precede change.
Letting go of the past
Make peace with your past and release limiting beliefs or baggage. Embrace the freedom to move forward without the weight of guilt, shame and regret. It is not about forgetting the past but about acceptance and healing.
Identity
Find your authentic identity. Our soul has a true innate identity we want to discover. Learn to trust who you are and define your personality. Be clear on your values, master your priorities and clarify your purpose.
Vision
Cultivate a clear vision for your future. Learn how to set big goals. Know the difference between a vision and a goal. Gain clarity on direction and formulate the mission.
Energy
Learn the value and quality of energy. Energy is an internal resource that we can control, manage and replenish. Practise the concept of effectively balancing energy and formulate a method to cultivate your energy for a happier, healthier and more ALIVE you.
THE MISSION
What makes you feel ALIVE?
As your personal ALIVE coach, my mission is to partner up with you and guide you through the process of understanding what is it you’re looking for and how to achieve it. Whether you have a clear idea of the goals you want to set or not, this is your safe place to truly explore what makes you feel most alive. What motivates you to seek out those ambitions you have?
Sometimes taking that first step is all we need to do, but perhaps you’ve had a hard time doing so. You’re only human and you’re merely here living a human experience. Letting go of the past is easier said than done. I’m here to hold your hand and walk with you to those places where you might be hiding your fear, trauma, heartbreak, grief or limiting beliefs. You’ll be surprised what can happen and how quickly it happens when those ‘blocks’ are removed.
Tearing back the layers helps us understand the core of what makes us who we are. Who do we identify as and what are the several identities that exist in our human experience. Understanding your identities can bring you closer to your purpose. And what more are we really looking for other than our purpose?
Finding purpose in everyday life makes the living experience so much more meaningful. It helps us live in alignment. When our thoughts, words and actions follow suit. When the vision is clear and everything we do moves in that direction. As your ALIVE coach, not only will I help you formulate that vision but using meditation and visualization techniques, you will enjoy the sensory experience of your vision. Believe me when I say, when the vision is clear, all we have left is the mission.
I invite you to take a fresh look at your life. Forget thinking “how much time will this take”, but ask yourself, “how much energy do I have for this task?”
A mission complete is all about energy. As your ALIVE coach, I will support you in cultivating your energy. I’m sure you’ve heard people say “protect your energy” or “energy is currency”, what they are talking about really is your life force. How can we, as a team, optimize your life force so that you have the energy you need to complete your mission and realize your vision.
This is my method and now I invite you to come with me and feel ALIVE.
