Welcome to Luminous Breathwork.

About Liya

Liya founded Luminous Breathwork after years of guiding people through personal growth and noticing a recurring challenge: many struggled to access their inner world for insight and transformation.

In today’s world, people often turn to meditation or plant medicine for that depth. As a Zen practitioner, Liya knows the transformative power of meditation, yet she also sees how difficult it can be for many to settle into practice. She explored plant medicine and experienced its potency, but recognized it is not the right path for everyone—especially those seeking a safe, self-empowered, and grounded practice they could return to again and again.

Breathwork became that doorway. Accessible, powerful, and safe, it helps people release old patterns, meet themselves more fully, and uncover clarity. Liya has witnessed its capacity to create profound shifts across backgrounds, beliefs, and life experiences.

Before stepping into this work, she held senior leadership positions in design and tech. As a result, she has led hundreds of creativity and innovation workshops around the world. She saw what becomes possible when people let down their guard in a safe container and engage with their deeper creative mind. That experience inspired her to lean further into facilitation and coaching—guiding people into the inner world where their unique gifts, wisdom, and wholeness reside.

Today, Liya partners with leaders and cycle breakers who are ready to live more fully. Through trauma-informed, lineage-sensitive somatic practices, she helps them untangle inherited patterns and live aligned, imperfect, peaceful, integrated lives.
