Nalaya Chakana has changed my life! ‘Dare To Love’ allowed me to navigate from thinking and knowing the changes and actions I wished for in my life, to actually making those actions happen!

I feel as though I have come home to myself and my relationship with a much more loving, accepting, and celebratory perspective.

Not only has Nalaya been able to help me piece together my own frantic thoughts, but her exercises challenged me to make the change I knew I had wanted all along. If you need someone who is insightful, gentle, encouraging, and present, PLEASE please please work with Nalaya. Forever grateful for the work I have done with Nalaya, and the love she has shown me throughout my journey. BIG LOVE + LIGHT!

I have been working with Nalaya Chakana for well over a year now, and I am not sure I even recognise myself, such has the transformation been. She is so committed to the process of guiding me through difficult emotions, patterns, blockages and ‘history’ that I have at last found someone with whom I have been able to simply relax, trust, and ‘do the work’ that needs to be done.

Recently I also completed her wonderful 8-week intensive course, ‘Dare to Love’, which has really challenged me to face up to the things I wanted to turn away from. I have always felt that Nalaya has some rare kind of deep insight and intuition, whereby she somehow knows exactly the right thing to say, or precisely the best practice to adopt, or the very best approach to help break through to a more integrated earthy relationship with life.

During our work together, I feel I am finally, at last, coming home to myself, and standing up for myself, setting stronger boundaries, seeing deeper, being authentic. It’s wonderful to feel life unfolding with growing confidence, and how relationships are transforming for the better. Above all, I feel I can finally let go, trust in myself and trust in life. With heartfelt gratitude and love – it’s been a lot of fun too.

Working with Nalaya has been one of the most profound experiences of my healing journey. The depth of relief I have gained from releasing traumas from this life, and inherited traumas I didn’t even know I was carrying with me, has been indescribable. I have come face-to-face with fears created by my own stories in full force, which I have avoided for a very long time.

The greatest transformation I have received from the “Dare to Love” journey is the shedding of the key inherited familial beliefs and stories that were keeping me stuck in repetitive, toxic patterns. I can feel change. I can see change. I am change. It has been three months now since concluding the course and the shifts are still occurring; the magic is still blooming; the layers are still falling away. I am still integrating and still wondering, “What on earth WAS that?!” But every day, I look more and more like the me I am, rather than the me I told myself I was.

I have so much love and infinite gratitude for this woman and what she does. If you are looking for guidance to transmute the pain of your past into the freedom of your future, Nalaya is your guide.

I didn’t really know what to expect when starting the sessions. Yet I knew it was time for real change! Nalaya has an incredible way of navigating through the chaos of feelings and stories. She always gives tangible points to work with. What was most healing for me – is to truly feel met by Nalaya – regardless of what I share. This has empowered me to become even more authentic in my expression in life.

Her insights and reflections are always so spot on and so amazingly clear. I feel touched by her great capacity to understand me as well as hand me practical tools for integration. This makes her work very healing, as well as just so real.

Nalaya has an incredible soft and gentle aura to hold space for people to open up, become vulnerable and share (hidden) feelings. I witnessed incredibles transformation in everyone who was present at the Tantric Lifestyle retreat in Peru.

Her guidance is just both light, happy and also deep and 100% authentic. She holds so much wisdom from her life experiences abroad and provides healing with her angelic voice and musical skills. I am so grateful to have met Nalaya and to have shared this amazing transformational retreat with her in Peru. Gracias gracias, sister!

When I met Nalaya we instantly connected. She has a warm presence, a radiant light, and a heart full of so much love. Her wisdom, experiences, and knowledge allows her to deeply connect and help people from all backgrounds and traumas, working specifically with the sacral and heart chakras.

She works from a place of pure love and wisdom to facilitate healing, growth, and balancing both one’s masculine and feminine energies. Her ability to express through music takes her sessions to another level. Her voice, especially, is so beautiful! She is a magical soul.

It’s difficult to put into words how much respect I have for Nalaya. She is a spirit of nature and embodies the healing gifts of the divine feminine in nature. She is a beautiful, present, connected and warm-hearted medicine women. She cares deeply for the souls she helps guide with love, kindness and truth.

I am so grateful we met in Peru – where she guided several offerings and ceremonies. As a shamanic healing guide I trust her with my life. Love, respect and blessings to you Nalaya

Just wanted to send a big THANK YOU! It’s been a year since the retreat, and I can see clearly how big of an impact it has been. It really allowed me to end one cycle, and open space for the new. The transformation is so tangible!

I touched places inside myself I didn’t even know existed. It has empowered me as a woman, allowed me to see what I am capable of, and on top of that – I now enjoy life more fully!

I still am wearing the bracelet I received at the retreat. I often look at is to remember the gratitude I have for you and the opportunity you gave me with the work we did together.

When it comes to sharing and teaching love, truth, healing and understanding Nalaya and her programs are an incredible asset.

I cannot recommend her services enough!

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and helping me transform.

Odette Gibbs

Nalaya is one of the most soulful, inspiring and astute medicine women I have had the pleasure to know and work beside in this lifetime. I have no hesitation emphatically recommending her services to anyone who is ready to heal and connect to their full potential for vital, authentic and engaged living.

Nalaya is both deeply present and deeply intuitive – she holds a gentle, yet undeniably powerful space for radical transformation in her clients – and indeed, for anyone blessed to enter the radiant and compassionate field of her divine feminine presence.

Amongst her many talents, Nalaya is particularly expert at guiding women to access and activate their innate feminine energy; their sensuality, sexuality and womb wisdom.

As a practitioner in this field for many years, I can attest to the fact that Nalaya is absolutely exceptional at what she does – these days, in a world where (let’s face it) all a person has to do is set up a pretty Instagram account and claim to be a healer, it is incredibly rare to find a diamond of authenticity like Nalaya.

Many practitioners ‘talk the talk’ when it is expedient or lucrative to do so, but this is a woman of deep integrity who resolutely and without question ‘walks her walk’ – not only online, but also behind the scenes, in a manner which permeates every aspect of her life and her way of relating to others, nature and the cosmos at large.

Nalaya is the real deal, at the most profound of levels. I have never seen her waver in her integrity, her grace or her capacity to acknowledge her own realness and humaness… thereby creating a remarkable container of deep safety, honesty and trust for those she works with.

If you are considering working with Nalaya, please, trust your inner guidance and go for it. I could not recommend someone more highly.
All my blessings

I felt comfortable and at ease with Nalaya. I would recommend the Tantric Lifestyle retreat to anyone who is looking to release and let go of any darkness they are holding onto. The exercises and workshops are thought provoking and deeply healing. I’ve had a lot of loss and change in my life recently.

The time with Nalaya and everyone else in the retreat brought me back to a place of balance and acceptance. It was truly a wonderful experience with an amazing group of people. Thank you for everything!

Max Cossette

Canada

One-on-one sessions with Nalaya are like bringing an expert into your world to see the things you cannot see. With her keen eyes and perspective, I gained a deeper understanding for what was stopping me from true connection and happiness.

With her compassionate strength she guided me into release and remembrance of my forgotten parts. Ultimately to find new appreciation for who I am.

The practices she gave me where powerful yet simple. The transformation I went through in such a short time is truly unbelievable.

Alexis Fllow Leiva

Nalaya is a beautiful human being. She is so sincere and passionate about growth, healing and transformation. Its a pleasure to watch her work and lead people to a fuller more vibrant expression of themselves.

She holds a safe space for people to be heard, to release and recover from internal and external wounds, a space to heal and grow. She has great communication skills and always the most gentle teacher.

I highly recommend Nalaya!

Christina Lackner

Nalaya is the perfect person to host retreats! She creates a space in which you feel at ease and ready to open up. Her ceremonies are so beautiful – as is her voice and drumming. At times it was challenging for me, yet always for my greater good and transformation.

In one word I can say the Tantric Lifestyle retreat was EXCEPTIONAL! Our group, the astonishing location next to the river, the full-moon bonfires, the quality yoga classes, the amazingly delicious vegan food. Wow! If you consider working with Nalaya, go for it!!

Petra Kaur

Czech Republic

Tantric Lifestyle was such an epic retreat! Nalaya holds such a great capacity to lead a group whilst holding her center firmly. Her sincere presence and conscious communication touched me deeply. All her sessions are coming from the true core of the life experience, which she shares in authenticity and healthy confidence.

Nalaya’s strength is naked and transparent – she shows her vulnerability on all levels, and inspires us to do the same. As she is so deeply connected to her own inner light, she always sees the light in others, and reminds us of it when we don’t see it.

Matthew John

I recommend that you connect with Nalaya – her beautiful soul, her insights, her spoken meditations, online sessions and retreats.

Nalaya is a powerful woman who shares her medicine from her open heart, clear vision and deep life experiences. One of the most important things for me is INTEGRITY, and that is the beautiful reflection that Nalaya emanates.

She encourages everyone to live life with authenticity, and brings people back to that pure connection with the heart, and within all our relationships.

Nita Chakra

USA / Bangladesh

First and foremost Nalaya is a wonderful soul, woman and a healer. I’m grateful for our serendipitous connection as I throughly resonate with her life purpose. Her sessions are amazing in the most surprising ways and I’m so impressed with everything. Nalaya’s approach is gentle yet she has strength of a warrior. Her ability to hold space for a group and move subtle energies is incredible.

The overall the quality of the healing, the rituals, the knowledge and tantric exercises, you cannot find anywhere else in such intimate setting. I experienced healing and releasing at a deep energetic level, I felt connected to my higher self and innate gifts.

Jessica Russel Dawn

Canada

Nalaya is an incredible woman and divine feminine leader. She has helped to bring me back to my body, heart and soul, to heal some of my childhood wounds and ultimately, help launch my in embracing my spiritual purpose.

I cannot recommend her and her offerings enough! I know she is meant to do this work and help thousands of people to heal and empower themselves in the years to come and it is an honour to know her as both her student and friend.

Reachel Singh

Holland

I did the personalized one-on-one coaching for several months. What amazed me most is that Nalaya can really sense (even from the other side of the planet) what is truly going on and what needs attention. In-between the sessions we would check-in through whatsapp and she remained very patient with me! She gave me all the space and time needed for the healing journey to continue.

I was so excited about her work and transformation I received through her guidance that I also signed up for “your sacred cycle”, which is a course I can do in the comfort of my own home.

Her voice really touches my heart, and every cell in my body just says “YES!” I want to do this, this is so true, this resonates. She works from her heart and I love her openness and honesty. My journey has been much easier and clearer because of her teachings.

Stephanie Borgers

Belgium

One day I was completely stuck. My life had been a roller coaster for more than a year by then. I turned to Nalaya for her wisdom. The recognition I felt during our first Skype conversation was truly liberating. She taught me that there is no such thing as a VOID. When life seems to crumble apart, and people disappear, there is no VOID, but SPACE cleared up for everything you need! And that’s how it went.

I trusted my heart to her and she guided me through various healing sessions. We were both at the other side of the world, yet the intensity was mind-blowing and I could feel her so closely. The chakra healing was an amazing tool and boost to find my purpose again, and a valuable support to take new decisions. Besides that, Nalaya also taught me how to live with my own cycle, since my body ached to leave the birth control pill. The process has been very enriching and purifying! Getting to know the different phases of my cycle, and by consequence the different women I can embody, connected me with a whole new dimension of my Femininity. I’m so grateful.

Olivia Morgan

Working with Nalaya is a gift. She possess a gentle strength which allows her to create and hold a space in which you feel safe to engage in the work of self knowledge, growth, and healing. I am very grateful for my experience in her Tantric Lifestyle retreat. I received deep grounding in my self, strengthening in my energetic body, and expansion in my capacity to live in love with life.

The land and ceremonies that Nalaya choses to work with are powerful and sacred and her relationship to them is full of respect. Working with these lands and ceremonies allowed me to expand in my consciousness and transform in my relationship with my self, my partner, my family, my life’s work, the divine feminine and masculine energies, and the universe.

The passion fueling Nalaya’s work is beautiful and strong and her relationship with the people that she serves is full of love and care. If you feel a calling to work with Nalaya I hope you gift yourself this amazing opportunity!

Diego Bronstein Lay

Peru

I am speechless after experiencing several healing sessions with Nalaya. She has a powerful mind and soul, and knows how to transmit infinite knowledge and kindness in an unexplainable way.

Once you have experienced a session with Nalaya, your entire understanding of life will change forever. It is not something you can understand with the mind. You have to feel it, experience it, and watch life realign itself accordingly.

I’ll be always thankful for this beautiful person.

Mina Villeda Allen

I feel so fortunate to have attended the Tantric Lifestyle retreat with Nalaya. I learned so much with this beautiful and wise soul. I was challenged to my core by the exercises we did as well as the ceremonies and discussions we had. I now feel so much lighter and happier.

I appreciate the nurturing and safe space Nalaya held for me and all the beautiful people there. I loved the entire retreat – the group, the environment, the teachings, the delicious vegan food, and the Kundalini yoga. I thank Nalaya for her wisdom and inspiration this retreat brought into my life. I am absolutely blessed.

Victoria Lozar

Austria

The sessions with Nalaya have literally changed my life. Her incredible sense of awareness, her sensibility and her clear guidance have provided me with a safe space to let go of energies and patterns that wouldn’t serve me anymore and help me raise my vibration and become more of who I actually am.

The sessions had an incredible deep effect, and provoked a big shift in my life and relationships. I was looking for a guide and coach already for a long time but couldn’t find anyone until Nalaya popped up and I am glad she did. I can recommend you deeply from my heart to work with her if you need some support or guidance in a process and I can guarantee you that it will be empowering and liberating!

Brint Duncan

United States

Nalaya has a way about her in which she carries herself through the world. She instantly warms your heart with her wisdom, spoken or unspoken, giving you a sense of trust and gratitude that combine into a unique experience. I had worked with her years ago in Vilcabamba, Ecuador – and recently continued the 1:1 sessions online.

She’s the real deal, a very sensitive medicine woman attuned to her way of life with the ability to peer deeply into those who allow her to. She has lots to share if you want to step into the person you know you can become. Nalaya, please share more of your songs, they are incredible.

Rafa Lauraline

Canada

Nalaya has a very gentle, subtle yet powerful way of holding your hands – an energy that seems to deeply & lovingly interconnect itself with your own far beyond any timing or contact within the physical realm. She is a deeply wise & authentic creature that one can feel has really stepped into her own empowerment, embodying her own soul’s purpose.

From this place she has clearly cultivated the deep capability to help guide others to this place within themselves – to come home to our own deep innate wisdom waiting within our bodies & souls. If you are someone seeking to be held along your path home to this divine essence within you, if you are even remotely on the fence – jump. I highly recommend her guidance.

Laurie Bella Tierra

United States

Nalaya has an incredible connection to her essence and power, and a beautiful gift of being able to draw that power up and thru the people she works with. One afternoon Tantric Cacao Ceremony with her has changed my life and enhanced my path immensely. Her exercises were both simple and deep, her circle was very intimate, comfortable and open.

She leads with guidance centered in strong inner knowing and experience that I can tell comes from a lifetime devoted to self work and improvement. Her very presence inspires authenticity and a soft, yet empowered feminine self. I saw people of all ages, and all walks of life from all over the world come together in a few beautiful hours and connect in such a profound and transformational way.

I highly recommend this beautiful soul as a friend, healer and a guide!

Miriam Altounji

Canada

Nalaya is the real deal, kind, loving, nurturing and strong. I highly recommend her for energy healing work, coaching and the powerful retreats she creates in the Sacred Valley, Peru.

A few years back, I met Nalaya at a pivotal point in my life. Energy work on the self is a life long journey. I believe it is important to recognize guides on our path and to let them help us come to our own conclusions.

Nalaya was the perfect guide for me in that moment of my life. By simply talking to her, she helped me identify and understand the roots of my issue. I definitely felt a powerful energy communicating with mine during our healing session. I am grateful to have met Nalaya and warmly recommend her for anyone looking to know themselves a little better.

Rebecca Pooley

Australia

Working with Nalaya was truly transformative in so many ways! Through online sessions and distance energy healing, the process flowed so naturally, and the end result, for me, was tangible change. I could honestly say ‘I’m ready for what comes next’!

Her compassion, knowledge, intuition and capacity to communicate meant I felt supported and seen every step of the way. With such a big heart, her humbleness, reverence and sense of fun made it a joy to work with Nalaya in this deep space.

Having someone as grounded, loving and truthful as Nalaya as a support in my transformative process is a beautiful gift I am very grateful for.

Eugene Sedletsky

United States

Nalaya is someone who will touch your heart in a way that few others can. Just seeing the metamorphosis that has come from this incredibly colorful journey, with all its richness and depth of inner exploration.

I can confidently say that Nalaya has traveled further on this path of being a human than many others even get to! And it shows – in her work, in her deep level of caring, maturity, vulnerability and strength. It shows in every moment as the wisdom that’s listening behind her eyes… and with every word that she imparts in her deep and humble dedication to her purpose

Jeni Barry

Australia

Nalaya has been here for me through the dark and light. Her energy is unlike no other I have ever experienced. Every time we meet, I’m reborn again. It’s something you need to experience to understand what I’m saying. She gets you!!

We met a few years ago in Peru. This sparked our connection and allowed us to do different forms of healing by distance. She assisted me in the preparation for pregnancy, during pregnancy, and the integration afterwards. She allowed me to see unhealthy ties to my lineage, that needed to clear, in order to step into my true self.

The transformation has been unbelievable. I feel deeply connected to Nalaya, and trust her with all my heart.

Bo Sijpkes

The Netherlands

Nalaya truly lives her life with an open heart, and guides people exactly from that place. I came across Nalaya on a festival where she offered her workshop.  I was in a stage of my life in which I wasn’t on my true path anymore. I was exhausted and found it hard to navigate my true direction.

And there was Nalaya! She saw me TRULY for who I am. That moment literally changed everything for me! I felt her energy flowing through my entire system. I was being recognized and therefore I began to recognise myself again.

Now, a year later, I’m feeling my power again. After her workshop I couldn’t return to my normal routine. So now I am becoming a holistic therapist! I am working with Reiki again and I am feeling fully alive!

Stephanie Popping

The Netherlands

Just hearing the voice of Nalaya always brings me joy and a particular sence of deep inner-peace. It is the sound of a warm and trustworthy person.

Over the years I have had many healing sessions with Nalaya – both in person as well as by distance. They have been very profound and important during my moments of deep transformation.

She helped me align my relationships – my family, my past lovers as well as where I am now. She assisted me during pregnancy as well as the integration into motherhood.

I am forever grateful for the full trust I feel for her. And how she always brings me peace and clarity with her words of advice and guidance.

Ashlee Dana

United States

Nalaya stands in the power of femininity is a way that used to intimidate and inspire me before I got to know her. Her light and ease shined upon parts of myself I wished to embody. She vibrates grace and weaves together roots and spirit in one.

Nalaya offers the depth of her knowledge, devotion, intuition with such an open heart and warm presence it’s allows space to safely transform and grow. To play into the unknown, soften and bloom. Thank you Nalaya for sharing your gifts.

I am forever grateful for the transformation that occurred through her support and inspiration.

Paulina Nejman

Poland

Over an extended period of time I did energy healing sessions with Nalaya – and I couldn’t recommend them more! The transformation that has occurred during these months is actually pretty amazing! The fact that we are located on the opposite sides of the globe does not impinge on the effectiveness of her healing. After each session she sends her recordings via WhatsApp, and that’s how we communicate.

Her profound insights and unparalleled guidance in physical and spiritual matters help me dig deeper into myself and peel off layers that reveal the underlying cause of my issues. I’m forever grateful for having this magical, gifted soul guiding me through my life!
