Culture shifting.

Co-healing.

I help people who want more connection and aliveness.

Embodiment is my doorway in.

Self love, and joyful healing, and inspired hope is on the other side.

🌹

Through playfulness, creative crafting, and deep care, I hold spaces where bold and vulnerable exploration can unfold.

I’m Layla, the WaterWitch. Allow me to explain…

 

WATER

I was once called “Starfish” because of how I came alive in the wild river my friends and I would walk to.

This element reminds me to hold others with softness so they can unfurl, to drop from mind into body - into a state of flow. Wherever there is an abundance of water, there is a thriving sense of life. I relish this vitality - the pulse of rivers rushing, the lushness of thick green moss. The waters of our bodies are akin to the waters of the earth. When we are crying, sweating, bleeding, flowing… we are alive.

It is one of my favorite forms of worship, to channel the gentle, flowing wild aliveness from which we are all born.

WITCH
This cultural lineage of badass, powerful women calls to me. They are wise, practiced, independent women who heal themselves and others with powerful medicines - herbalism, ritual arts, somatics, sexuality. Their work, throughout history, has often laid within patriarchal societies, causing it to be stigmatized, misunderstood, and suppressed. And still, they continue to weave their magic, because they know it matters. They know that seekers will continue to come visiting the witch at the edge of the woods, under the cover of night, to seek healing and transformation that’s more effective than anything found in the village square.

I love this work - I’m proud of it. I want to take it from the shadows to the light - spreading the message that sex magic is both mysterious and provocative, while being incredibly wholesome and pure. We can overcome the stigmas and shame, and learn how to greet these holy terrains. We can bask in our erotic empowerment, laughing wildly as we dance into thriving wellness, wholeness, and freedom.

I am a...

Nomadic homebody. Loving rebel. Forest fairy. Playful kinkster. Community creature. Grateful student and passionate mentor. Apprentice to grief and magic. Seeker of collective healing.

Curious question-asker. Honest question-responder. Ever-aspiring conscious consumer. Culture worker, cultivating the world I want to live in. Devotee to the beautiful sides of humanity, that I will always know are possible. Radical resister of shame, embracer of messy, complex, radiant wholeness.

 

Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

I bring a devoted sense of presence and sensual mastery. 

And - a healthy dose of playfulness and an adventurous smirk;)

With crystal clear intuition, I will guide and accompany you where your body, mind and spirit has been longing to go. We will bring out your best self, and it will be sexy, liberated and wise. I can’t wait to meet them!

My Mission.

Through my work with clients, I guide people towards their more confident and inspired selves, ready to fill their lives with more meaning and deep connection.

Through my organizing, teaching, and artistic projects, I help to build a culture of sex positivity and true wellbeing.

I’m here for safety, empowerment, kindness and authenticity.

My approach is steeped in earth-based traditions and dotted with the realities of the modern world.

I’m here for pleasure and pain and more pleasure.

I’m here for the Holy Wholeness of it all - and sharing it together.
