Hi, I'm Rhaya Lynn!
I am a life coach and women's mentor for those looking to access more​ ease, self love, and confidence than ever thought imaginable.
​
I have spent my entire professional career working in mental health. Dream jobs continued into further dream jobs, and the wealth of knowledge I gained was insurmountable. From inpatient mental health and addiction centres in Vancouver, Canada to multiple drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres in Bali, Indonesia, I have learned patterns of the mind, behaviours, and how to approach them to achieve lasting change.
​
I have been striving for excellence my entire life. Years of postgraduate study and seeking the best of the best, I know exactly what it feels like to have your outer world look completely perfect, but still feel like something is missing on the inside. Having been on my own journey of personal growth and self-development for the past decade I can confidently say that I find ease in all that I do, whilst continually reflecting and refining my skills in order to be of service to the greatest extent.
​
What I have learned from those years in both the clinical and the self development realms is that one single approach just is not going to cut it. We are dynamic human beings and we require a multitude of modalities. This is exactly why I have devoted my life to supporting others to find ease in a holistic way, combining coaching and therapeutic principles. My mission is to reduce global suffering. If there is one more smile in the world due to my work, I know that in of itself, is enough.
​
I would love to be the one to support you on your journey. Shall we get started on finding your path of least resistance?
