Ariya is a compassionate Wellness Counsellor with a Diploma in Wellness Counselling from Rhodes Wellness College, where she has been connected for nearly 20 years, first becoming certified as a Life Coach while working as a care aide for a person with Parkinson’s. She also holds a Diploma in Hairstyling, is an Advanced Yoga Instructor, and has a Childcare Certification through the Ministry of Children and Family. Her diverse experience working with children, youth, and in the beauty and wellness industry has given her years of experience in human services, working with various cultural backgrounds, and a well-rounded approach to wellness and self-care for people and their families.

Ariya enjoys integrating her counselling and life coaching skills to help clients move forward. In counselling, she helps clients explore their past and bring healing into the present. In life coaching, she supports clients in taking action from their current circumstances to move toward their goals. Ariya approaches her work with genuine interest, knowing that those who choose to work with her are seeking meaningful results and effective solutions.

Ariya leads with her intuition throughout her compassionate counselling services, designed to help people navigate life’s personal and emotional challenges. She understands that these situations require deep emotional intelligence, patience, and heart to help individuals find inner peace, balance, and well-being.

Her counselling services focus on helping people and their families manage the emotional and physical demands of life. She provides guidance in reducing stress, avoiding burnout, and feeling more supported while offering a safe space to express emotions, process feelings, and develop effective self-care strategies. Her expertise includes grief and loss, women seeking change, men’s mental health, youth at risk, PTSD, sexual abuse and trauma, art therapy, and supporting older adults through transitional phases of aging, ensuring they feel understood and empowered.

Ariya’s passion for caregiving is deeply personal. As the first-born grandchild, she was her grandmother’s sidekick—a leg amputee who relied on crutches throughout her life. Ariya cherished helping her grandmother. These life experiences, along with the time she spent at her grandparents’ home growing up, instilled in her a profound understanding of the human condition and deep empathy for others.

Ariya approaches her work with heart and a focus on holistic well-being. Her extensive skill set allows her to be a compassionate listener and a supportive presence in the lives of those she serves. She values family, friendships, and maintaining balance in her personal life. In her free time, Ariya enjoys music, writing, art, fitness, and nature. She believes in the power of laughter to lighten the mood and finds comfort in simple pleasures, like a hot cup of soup to soothe the soul.
