Ayla has been facilitating sacred space for women to gather and learn about the Sacred Feminine, Feminist Theory and Wise Woman Ways since 1998 and is completely devoted to

helping women awaken to their Sacred Divinity by remembering HER story, experiencing ritual and honoring their Sacred Cycle Wisdom. She helps Women reawaken to this Wisdom by guiding them back to reconnect and reclaim the Womb Wisdom of Fertility Awareness, Empowered Pregnancy & Birth, Conscious Menstruation and Menopause Metamorphosis, while re-establishing the connection between Mother Earth, Grandmother Moon, the Sacred Feminine and the Woman Self.
She currently leads monthly Women’s Circles, guides women through a nine month long Women’s Wisdom Apprenticeship and Circle Initiate Program, has attended home and hospital birth as a Certified Doula, creates organic, handcrafted Herbals for all of Women’s Sacred Cycles and was the creatrix and publisher of the BIRTH PAGES (a local resource for holistic prenatal & birth services) and CYCLES (an E-zine honoring the Sacred Cycles of Goddess, Earth, Moon & Woman Self).
She continues expanding her knowledge and experience in Wholistic Well Woman care and Womb Medicine Wisdom as taught in the Wise Woman Way, expanding her herbal gardens and passionately pursues her dream of developing a Wise Woman Center on land in the foothills of Calaveras County.
Personally, she loves growing flower/veggie & herb gardens, belly dancing, yoga, making herbals with the green allies, devouring books, and continues to strive for a self sufficient, sustainable, cyclical and community oriented life.
The Woman of Chrysalis Woman
THE MISSION
Our mission here at Chrysalis Woman is to provide Wholistic Education, Services and Products that honor the Seasonal Cycles of Goddess, Earth, Moon and Womb, awakening women to the Wise Woman Ways of healing Medicine, Sisterhood and The Sacred Feminine.
THE PHILOSOPHY
For too long in our culture the ancient knowing of Women’s Wisdom has been devalued, denied and forgotten. There was a time when our ways of knowing, healing and living was passed from Grandmother to Mother to Daughter. This wisdom line has been broken.
Women no longer trust themselves. They are disconnected from their own inner knowing, their own intuitive, instinctive responses and instead, look to “experts” or “professionals” that exist outside of themselves for answers. Because of this separation from our Wisdom, women in our society now suffer tremendously from a diverse range of Dis-ease, such as: low self esteem, distorted body image, numerous physical ailments and disconnection and rejection of normal physiological processes and a give away of their own power.
We believe it is a Woman’s Rite to reclaim her own Wisdom
Reclaiming Women’s Wisdom is a returning to the knowing place within you. At Chrysalis Woman, women are guided to remember and reconnect with their inner knowing and ability for self healing, thereby recreating a life of wholeness and wellness.
