Leah Blenke ( also known as Laya Love ) is a survivor of childhood physical and sexual abuse.  Laya's pilgrimage to heal herself took her down the path of spiritual exploration, ceremony, plant medicine, and alternative therapies which worked together beautifully to weave her back to the wholeness of her soul.   Laya abandoned her job in Corporate America to ask life deeper questions that a 9-5 just couldn't hold.  As she began to heal, she reclaimed her natural, innate gifts in the healing arts and energy work, starting with hatha, kundalini yoga, and Usuri Reiki, leading her to sound healing, kirtan, and healing with music. After working hands-on as a chiropractic assistant, Laya decided to pursue a massage therapy license.  Laya is still on the path of self discovery and professional development.  She intends on being a "forever student", layering the knowledge she acquires from the healing arts into her loving practice.    Education & Trainings BBA from UW Oshkosh - 2013 Finance and Economics concentration Reiki Certified -2016 Reiki Master - 2019 Meta Institute - Hopkins, MN 200 RYT Hatha Yoga - 2017 Passion Yoga School - Costa Rica Sound Healing Certified (in progress) -2017 IASH - International Academy of Sound Healing - Thunder Bay, ON Gong Mastery Training -2018 IASH - International Academy of Sound Healing - New York, NY Alchemical Herbalism - 120 Hours - 2020 School of Evolutionary Herbalism - Seattle, WA Massage Therapy Program - 650 Hours - 2024 Santa Fe Community College - Santa Fe, NM Training in earth-based energy medicine and ceremony Lakota & Anishinaabe
