TESTIMONIALS
I had the pleasure of working with Kyla when she facilitated a loneliness workshop for the internal Salesforce Wellness Program. Kyla is a powerful speaker, presenting a sensitive subject with relatable examples. Her loneliness workshop was interactive, engaging, and impactful. The audience walked away with practical advice to incorporate into their daily lives. I recommend Kyla if you are in need of a loneliness expert to speak with your organization.

Kyla recently facilitated a discussion of connection and loneliness with my teaching staff. Her presentation cultivated an ongoing conversation in how to maintain a sense of connectedness even during times of shelter-in-place. At this point in time, educators in general have been pulled from their routines as guardians of students who need their leadership, passion and protection. My staff appreciated the refreshing approach to maintaining a sense of normalcy when things are far from normal. Kyla's style and energy encouraged teachers to share their feelings at a time when they needed the reminder that they are valued and that they can get through these times by reaching out to one another, being vulnerable and practicing self-care.

During the quarantine of 2020, Kyla facilitated a zoom conference for my organization. What an exceptional job! In my experience, large social gatherings via zoom have been noisy and unstructured. Kyla solved that problem seamlessly. During our meeting, the conversations flowed with order and, despite the distance between participants, I felt that the breakout room strategy effectively breached the barriers that people construct, especially strong on virtual calls. I appreciate Kyla’s skill.

As the keynote speaker at our leadership conference, Kyla gave our students an opportunity to share themselves in a way they typically wouldn't. Both grounding and uplifting in her speaking, Kyla provided our students with practical, engaging lessons on how to create more meaningful and authentic connections in their every day lives.
- Rouseline Emmanuel-Frenel, Director of Student Activities, Gwynned-Mercy University
Kyla helped our students feel energized and excited at the idea of a more collaborative community on campus. She helped our students foster growth through asking more meaningful questions and being more aware of how they can create a unique impact in their student years. I highly recommend Kyla to anyone looking for a transformational speaker!

Kyla has a unique way of connecting with an audience and articulating ideas that are actionable, fun, and build intentional community among those listening.

I had the opportunity to work with Kyla while launching People Who Usually Don't Lecture in San Francisco. Kyla proved to be an anchor to our program, and such a joy to work with. Kyla shares a deeply human, truly authentic story that served as an inspiration for all who were present.

Kyla's intuitive and empathetic coaching was instrumental in gently exposing years of conditioning and layers of subconscious patterns. Through compassionate practice and guidance, I now have the agency to thank the experiences, thoughts, and actions that protected me in the past, and the choice to celebrate and cultivate those that'll serve the next stage of my evolved self. My current alignment, and the journey itself, is a revolution. Hiring Kyla was the best investment I made all year!

Since working with Kyla, I have started taking concrete steps towards my dream life. I am more connected to the present moment, I am kinder to myself and others, and I’m more trusting of my process. I’ve even manifested some business opportunities! The biggest change I have seen is within myself; I now understand I fully contain the power to write my own story, and that is absolutely priceless.
- Lindsey M., Maine
Kyla helped me find strategies and gave me sage advice to make shifts in my belief systems (about myself, about my community, about society). Kyla is truly skilled at being a guide.
- Amanda S., Washington, D.C.
Kyla helped me to recognize old, destructive patterns of thinking that were trapping me, and to create new routines which brought compassion and presence to the process. She helped me to cultivate journaling and meditation practices, which have opened the door for self-inquiry. I am now tapping into my feminine side, feeling empowered in my start-up business, getting out of my comfort zone, building confidence in decision making, mending the relationship with my mother… I used to hold myself up to such impossibly high standards, and one of my greatest takeaways from her work is redefining how I look at myself.
- Alyssa D., Jersey City, NJ
Kyla holds space for me to explore the construction of my mind, and gave me ideas of how my life could be and affirmations to aspire to. I look to her as a role model, as a being who has experienced the pains I feel and overcome them so that she can serve others. Working under Kyla's guidance has been one of the strongest decisions I've made.

Kyla is a truly gifted healer! Freedom from negativity and shame are major focuses, and Kyla's compassionate and intuitive guidance help deconstruct the illogical fears and control issues our brains tell us we must maintain.

Kyla has been a ray of hope and sunshine in my journey. She is such an authentic, compassionate, and genuine coach and healer. Her knowledge doesn't just come from books, it comes from life experience. She has been where I stand and has come out the other side shining brightly! I am learning to discover my true self. I am thankful that Kyla is speaking out and that she is sharing her wisdom with others. She is such a gift!!
