When was the last time you took time for yourself?
For all you incredible women who tirelessly give to your families and communities, it's time for a little mini-retreat! Self-care and bodywork is not just a luxury; it's a necessity.
Taking the time to fill your cup allows you to give from a place of abundance, ensuring you have the energy and vitality to continue making a positive impact. I provide a sanctuary where women can prioritize themselves and find respite and renewal that empowers them to give back with even greater strength and compassion. Because when you invest in your well-being, you're not just nurturing yourself – you're nurturing the world around you.
WHY Laya?
“Laya” means freedom—a space to release tension and embrace calm. Rooted in the Filipino word for liberation, it reflects our commitment to helping you unwind, rejuvenate, and nurture yourself in a peaceful, empowering environment.
