Awaken with Aly

17/06/2026

I might just be the most effective coach & facilitator of change you’ve never heard of!

Until my mid-30's however, I was depressed, anxious & grief-stricken. After a debilitating burn out & hospitalisation, I resolved to learn everything I could about the brain, the mind, the ‘self’ & the downstream effects on the body.

I trained in meditation, coaching, somatic healing, shadow work, hypnotherapy & NLP. At 42, I moved to S.E Asia to study with great spiritual teachers, healed my traumatic childhood in plant medicine ceremonies over a decade, and helped co-create one of Thailand’s most successful retreat centers.

I’m passionately engaged in a lifelong study of human thriving and most importantly, I'm a ruthlessly devoted advocate of YOUR emotional freedom & personal transformation!

These skills are teachable to EVERYONE!

“I am a trained psychotherapist. I discovered Aly’s work a few years ago at Wonderland, where I visited for a retreat in the knowledge I was close to burnout.

My life and vision completely transformed through Aly’s teachings and am happy to give testimonial of this to anyone!

What I found in Aly’s teachings & presence - which actually helped me realise I truly am whole and unbroken - was unlike anything I'd ever encountered across 20 years of psychotherapeutic treatments and trainings in the western system.

I highly recommend Aly’s work. ”

She was lying on her balcony floor next to a snake this morning. A year ago she couldn't even think about one without her body going into full alarm.

Two sessions. A lifelong phobia. Gone. No management or coping strategies needed.

This is what's possible when you stop trying to fix your anxiety and start understanding what it's actually doing, how it's been coded, and what 'payoffs' you're getting from the pattern.

Join my free 'Unlearning the Habit of Anxiety' Webinar on Thursday 11th at 7.30pm UK. Link in bio or scan the QR code at the end of the video. Zoom places limted, so please register.

Most people have thoughts they'd never say out loud — violent, strange, mortifying, seemingly out of nowhere. That's just a brain doing exactly what brains do.

In this video I explore what intrusive thoughts actually are, why every human mind produces them, how the brain's error-detection system can misfire, what distinguishes a passing uncomfortable thought from the loop that becomes OCD. And why insight alone rarely breaks it.

If you've ever wondered whether your thoughts mean something about you, or found yourself caught in a loop you can see clearly but can't seem to stop — this is for you.

🔗 Want to go deeper? I'll be covering the neuroscience behind OCD — including what the research actually shows works — in my upcoming free webinar. Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/KOdfTlKTT1-l4u_fcex6sw

Scan the QR code at the end of the video to register for the zoom call, spaces are limited.

And PLEASE forward this to anyone you know who could benefit from some excellent resources to deal with anxiety. It might just change their lives.

I’m opening something I’ve never offered before.

Over the years, many people have asked whether I would ever teach the way I work; not simply the tools, but the deeper architecture beneath them.

Soon, I'll be launching a small, bespoke apprenticeship programme in transformational facilitation, for a handful of people who feel called toward meaningful service and want to build a livelihood around facilitating genuine human flourishing.

This training will share the core methodology I've developed through fifteen years of study, practice and client work, integrating perspectives from Internal Family Systems, shadow work, somatic approaches, hypnosis, neuroscience and non-dual inquiry. Yet the heart of the training is in learning how to see people clearly, how to work with the intelligence beneath their struggles, and how to create the conditions for profound and lasting change.

If you or someone you know is longing for a meaningful career change, I'd be grateful if you shared my substack post with them!

Thank you!

A foundational apprenticeship programme and training in my 'Mind Mirror' methodology

A clip from the archives..

The spiritual path robs you of all your illusions and falsehoods.

I've created a guided process called the "mind mirror" that helps reveal your blind spots, repeating patterns and cherished illusions.

It's very confronting. And ultimately, liberating for those who long to be free from mind-induced suffering.

I'm beta testing it right now and offering limited, heavily discounted sessions - link to book in bio.

Are you brave enough?

The horrors just keep coming and yet nothing about this surprises us anymore.

Women are not doing OK right now. We are not safe to accept a cup of tea in our own homes from the men we love.

If you are one of the men proclaiming disgust on the internet about the revelation of this (g)rape academy and you want to actually create change from within the system, please get in touch. I want to be your ally.

One from the archives...

I haven't made any new content in a while because instagram refuses to
show my account to more than 200 people. So it's just a demoralising waste of time and life force!

But I'm still here, still deeply in service to the wellbeing and awakening of human beings.

Reach out if you need support.
Much love.
