Alanja is a trained psychotherapist that specializes in preverbal traumas, surrendered leadership and our human gifts; She has created new modalities for how to work on preverbal traumas and human potential.
She has been serving this field for 15 years. The energy that Alanja holds is unlike anything you’ve experienced before. The container created by this pure energy seems to hold polarities in a way that invites us to more easily step into another dimension which allows us to taste and feel our hearts opening and our minds relaxing as we meet the shadows and potentials in ourselves and others ~ all while remembering that we are loved, loving and lovable.
Xena leads Avalon with Alanja and is the primary facilitator of the Avalon Retreats. She brings a knowledge of embodiment and inner work to her role as a leader of Avalon. Building on her experience in Avalon, as a certified IFS (Internal Family Systems), and as Kundalini Yoga instructor, Xena brings a healing capacity through surrender and meeting in deep connection.
Splitting time between Riyadh and Kenya where she is building the Ishq retreat center. Xena works full time with Avalon leading retreats, circles, and giving 1:1 sessions.
