Is This You?
- You cannot seem to make lasting change despite trying everything in the world of healing, spirituality and personal development
- You find it hard to stay positive and keep getting dragged into self-sabotaging cycles of destructive thoughts and emotions
- You struggle with self-judgement and find it hard to accept or love yourself
- You meditate sometimes but you don’t know if you are meditating properly
- You feel alone on your journey and no one around seems to understand what you are going through
Then this is for you.
This course aims to teach you how to:
- Rediscover, reclaim and integrate the parts of you that you’ve repressed, shamed, and disowned
- Undo cultural conditioning that taught you to repress your emotions and self-expression, and disown your body and intuition
- Dissolve false narratives, unconscious patterns and trauma/karmic cycles by addressing the root of the problem at the subconscious level
- Deepen somatic awareness of the nervous system, energetic states and restore energetic flow
- Discover non-dual heart centred awareness and go beyond the mind-level “black and white” experiencing of reality
- Meditate effectively by dropping into a surrendered state of being as the witness of your thoughts and emotions
- Live in alignment with your essence nature and deepest values
How It Works
Subconscious
Absorb and integrate concepts experientially by working at the subconscious level using active imagination (NLP & hypnotherapy techniques)
Somatic
Deepen the mind-body connection and work with the energetics of the mind through embodiment practices, movement and breathwork
Mindfulness
Discover your essence nature and cultivate awareness to detach from false narratives and deepen spiritual embodiment
Why I Created This Course
This course was inspired by my old self.
At the age of 16, in a desperate attempt to overcome social anxiety, I dove into new age spirtuality.
You could say this was the beginning of my spiritual journey, but far from my awakening. Despite the practice of positive thinking, affirmations, and gratitude, I struggled to bring about change. The more I tried to BELIEVE I was good enough, the more I felt like I wasn’t. Subconsciously, a part of me knew masking my pain with positivity wasn’t enough. I wasn’t addressing the root of my suffering.
Then life threw a curveball.
I hit my lowest bouts of depression after experiencing sexual assault during university. This added trauma forced me to put a halt to my schooling and I found myself spending many months in bed. To my surprise, this was when life began to finally give me a break…
I couldn’t run away from my problems anymore. And so, I surrendered. Because I had nothing else to lose, I began feeling my painful and scary emotions. I stopped masking my pain and learned to sit with my darkness. Many aspects of my life began to deconstruct, and for the first time in my life, I welcomed that unraveling.
I didn’t know it at the time but what I had begun doing was shadow work.
Fast forward to now, I am a huge advocate for shadow work. It isn’t talked about enough in the mainstream spiritual and wellness space because… well frankly, it isn’t glamorous, it doesn’t sell and nobody wants to hear that they have inner demons to face.
But I know from first hand experience, what you resist persists and we don’t heal by fixating on positivity.
Carl Jung once said, “People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”
This is why I share my voice. This is why I created the Real Work Mentorship. I offer this with my old self in mind because I know that she’s not the only one who’s struggling to heal and connect to her spirit.
While there is a time and place for “love and light,” it doesn’t come before a fair share of shadow work. I want to help you see the merit in facing your own darkness so that you can reclaim your true power and step into your fullest potential. Are you ready to claim this reality?

LEARN WITH THE
The Real Work Mentorship is specifically designed to help you learn mentally AND experientially through guided meditations, NLP and hypnotherapy.
Teachings don't stick when you are solely intellectualizing with the mind.
When you intellectualize without having direct experience, what ends up happening is that you consciously understand what you need to do but when it comes to ACTUALLY doing it, you resort to self-sabotage instead.
And you are left with is a list of SHOULDS and SHOULDN'TS without any real change in the way you actually live.
I know this much too well which is why I carefully designed this program to offer you an experiential learning process so you are not only learning concepts with the mind but also absorbing AND integrating techniques into your life.
90-95% of your brain activity is subconscious. It runs the programming that rules your thoughts, emotions, actions, and behaviours.¹

The success rate for hypnotherapy (subconscious modality) is 93% after an average of 6 sessions, compared to a 38% success rate after an average of 600 sessions for psychoanalysis and 72% after 22 sessions for behavior therapy.²

This course is for you if:
- You want to develop self-awareness to live more consciously, freely and authentically
- You want to connect to your subconscious and your own intuitive wisdom
- You are ready to face your darkness, surrender your fears and get out of your comfort zone
- You want to understand energy and regulate your nervous system
This course is not recommended if:
- You are looking for a quick fix and “manifest” without putting in work

- You are looking for a healer to heal you
- It is currently difficult for you to feel safe practicing on your own (ex. closing your eyes during meditation) and need personalized therapeutic support at this time
If you are looking for major breakthroughs in your healing, then this is it.
By the end of the course, you will have learned to:
- Quiet persistent thoughts and release false narratives by addressing the root of the problem
- Heal emotional trauma and end karmic cycles by turning your senses inwards and engaging in Active Imagination
- Strengthen the nervous system, restore energetic flow through cultivating awareness and deepening embodiment
- Discover non-dual heart centered awareness and go beyond the mind-level “black and white” experiencing of reality

TESTIMONIALS
— Tiana
"I am a mental health therapist and I've been in my own talk therapy for years... but within six weeks of working with Ediya and her Inner Peace Accelerator program [former version of the program], my healing and growth expanded exponentially. Ediya's process for helping me calm my body to make space for my own subconscious knowing and healing felt like incredible magic. The access to a like-minded community as part of Ediya's program was also invaluable and comforting. What work could be more important than healing and getting better in touch with yourself and those around you?"
— Seth, San Francisco CA
"I have been on my healing journey for two years now and Ediya showed up in my life as if in divine timing. I had been working with a psychoanalytic therapist for half a year and I had realized that I "lost" my ability to visualize at some point due to compounding trauma that was too much for my body to process at the time. However, working with Ediya as a hypnotherapist has allowed the images in my mind to begin to come back together. I felt so safe being guided by Ediya into my subconscious. "Inner Peace Accelerator" [former version of the program] is absolutely the proper description of this course because the healing that has occurred in the past 6 weeks has reopened up so many possibilities in my life. I am so thankful, so eternally grateful for her Light, and I encourage anyone who feels called to work with Ediya to do so without hesitation."
— Ally, San Diego CA
"What amazed me about this course was the way in which it allowed me to touch depths of myself I had forgotten or turned away from, but working with Ediya I realized that not only were they not forgotten, but they were playing out every day and driving my thoughts and emotions. Working with Ediya, who is genuine, compassionate and gives you as much as she can, really showed me the true meaning of working on myself. To the earnest seeker, this is absolutely imperative work that I invite everyone who wants to experience who they can be to engage in this kind of work, to look at their shadow because in the shadow dwells the true light, the light that is within."
— Steven, Victoria TX
A CASE STUDY
FOR THE SKEPTICS
This is for the skeptics! Like many of you, I discovered Ediya through YouTube and enjoyed her meditation videos. "Energy healing" and "shadow work" and the like sounded a bit "out there," but eventually I had to acknowledge that I was intrigued by this person and her sense of calm. And I desperately wanted to change the way I spoke to myself, as I've struggled with self-hatred even after years of (otherwise very helpful) traditional psychotherapy. So I tried the six-week Inner Peace Accelerator. (former version of the course)
I always looked forward to seeing Ediya and the other group members at our sessions, as they have an extremely warm and compassionate atmosphere, but at first I resisted hypnosis. I'd wonder if I was meditating "correctly" or worry that I was not capable of being hypnotized because I didn't visualize things as vividly as I would have liked. However, I continued to do the exercises, because if you're going to try something, it's only fair to give it 100% before you write it off.
Then, around Week 4, while walking home from the grocery store, I realized that I hadn't said one mean thing to myself in over a week.
When I got home, I read some old journal entries and was surprised by how venomous they were—I didn't identify with the person who had written about herself. Nothing in my life had changed besides the course, and somehow, without "working" for it or even realizing it, I'd experienced a huge and long-awaited shift in how I related to myself. I had known intellectually that I was not broken or deficient—that that was just something I told myself—but it was only whatever Ediya did that let me actually believe it.
Since that major shift, I've noticed other changes rippling through my life: I wake up and practically leap out of bed, I'm more receptive to meditation and hypnosis, I feel more present with loved ones. But all of these changes really come down to letting go of my attachment to self-hatred. And that release felt impossible before I encountered Ediya's gentle guidance. So if her videos resonate with you and you're ready to make a change, but you're hesitant because some of the teachings fall outside your belief system, I'd encourage you to keep an open mind and try it. Joy isn't something you have to earn—you just need someone to help you let go of past suffering so you no longer repeat it. And I've never witnessed anyone do that the way Ediya does!

AN ENERGETIC PERSPECTIVE
What if I told you that the subconscious mind, seen from another perspective, is actually the body? And one way of connecting to the subconscious mind and your intuitive wisdom is through embodiment?
Research in Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) has revealed that there is no distinction between body and mind, and as neuroscientist, Candace Pert, describes it, “the body is actually a physical manifestation of the subconscious mind. Past experiences, conditioning, habits are all stored in the body at the cellular level, providing a framework through which we relate to the world."
Additionally, just as 90% of your brain activity is subconscious, 90% of nerve signals flow from the body to the mind.
So what does that mean for us?
The issue with modern human beings is we spend so much time in our minds that we have completely disowned the body and our ability to FEEL. We have been taught to live in our heads and not in our bodies.
DISembodiment is the norm in today’s society. It is disembodiment that has us believing we are our thoughts. It has us avoiding our feelings, stuck in our fears and limiting beliefs. But every time we avoid our feelings, we are actually disrupting the natural flow of information sent by nerve signals from the body to the mind (which is a lot of information, 90% remember?)
This constant repression of the body, our emotions and instincts is eventually what impairs the mind-body system, leading to stress overload which can develop into mental disorders, chronic pain and physical ailments.
It can appear as though the body only serves to carry our brains around. But this couldn’t be further from the truth.
It is time that we all reconnected to the body/subconscious and rediscovered our wholeness. It is time that we restored trust in our innate healing capabilities. It is time that we let go of our limiting identities built on fears and traumas, and embraced a fuller authentic way of life led by intuitive wisdom.
When we do this, we regain natural spontaneity and curiosity about life. We gain a renewed innocence about life and begin to live in flow. We experience synchronicities and return to an intrinsic sense of self-love and compassion. Our intuition strengthens as it becomes a merging of rationality and instinctual evolutionary wisdom.
I want to offer all the tools I have gathered on my journey to help you do this.
In The Real Work Mentorship, not only do we learn to work at the subconscious level that deals in abstract symbols, and narratives through hypnotherapy, active imagination and meditation, we also work at the bodily level to deepen felt sense awareness of our nervous system responses and how to move repressed energy through embodiment.
