Aya Dunin is a multidimensional being and keeper of wisdom sourced from around the globe. A daughter of the motherlands of Japan, Poland, the UK and France, she has resided in California for the past decade and revels in its rich multicultural landscape, where she feels right at home.
Mirroring the journey of most practitioners of the healing arts, Aya has sought various alternative and traditional healing modalities for many years as a way to find relief from physical dis-ease, freedom from emotional traumas, enhanced vitality, as well as deeper connections to her Self and the cycles + medicines of Mother Earth. Now she shares the benefits of her findings with the many communities she touches.

For as long as she (or anyone) can remember, Aya has always been highly intuitive and sensitive; her journey into self-empowerment has taught her to understand these traits as gifts that she harnesses for her healing services. This ability of Aya’s to deeply feel others, paired with her own lived experiences in transcending illness, addiction, death/rebirth, the pain body, and even continents enables her to serve as a compassionate guide for those bravely seeking to transition into a healthier lifestyle… and/or the transformation to embodied authenticity. She takes her personal healing work very seriously to this day, making every effort to be a clear channel in all of her offerings.
Aya is an avid and lifelong student of dance, music, art history, philosophy, theology, plant + vibrational medicines, Chinese Medicine, and more, always intending to nourish both sides of the brain. Through her movement practices she constantly refines her awareness of, and receptivity to, the subtle body. In researching neuroscience, she becomes a better facilitator of ThetaHealing. By tending to her gardens she observes and traces patterns that connect all of life. She strengthens her voice so that she may help others do the same.
Since 2019 she has been producing and hosting transformational retreats and workshops in California and in France. And 2020 has been a year of birthing her online offering: Cercle Shakti in French.
Weaving the tools that continue to support her in navigating this existence, Aya is honored to be of service, and to help all in need of support on their healing journeys. She is available for: remote or in-person one-on-one ThetaHealing sessions in French, English, or Spanish and some Polish/Japanese; co-leading womxn’s gatherings; and private/retreat-based yoga classes.
She welcomes you to be in touch with ideas, questions, and requests.
