Hi, I'm Kaya!
My name is Kaya. I’m a Coach, Sound Healer and DJ whose work lives at the intersection of music, movement, mindfulness and human empowerment.
Born and raised in North West London with Trinidadian roots and now based in Dubai, music has been the thread running through my life for as long as I can remember. It is how I connect, how I express, how I guide and how I support others in my work.
My career has taken me from the floors of some of the world’s most recognised fitness studios to stages, nightclubs and events across the globe from the UK, UAE, GCC, Africa and Asia. I’ve taught and moved thousands of people, performed alongside internationally renowned artists such as French Montana and Will.I.Am and created experiences for brands including lululemon, Ferrari, F1, UFC and the NBA.
But beneath the titles, the stages and the spaces I’ve been fortunate enough to step into, my work has always been about one thing: How do I help people just be themselves? As movement and music has helped me to guide myself home, this is how I hope to help others arrive home in themselves.
Through movement, music, sound, coaching and community, I create spaces for people to come back to themselves - not by becoming someone new, but by remembering who they already are.
My approach is rooted in feeling rather than forcing. In presence over performance. In creating experiences where there is nothing to prove, perfect or pretend. Because I believe that true happiness and liberation doesn’t happen by pushing harder or being something else, it happens when we finally give ourselves permission to be exactly as we are.
"Kaya is highly professional and a pleasure to work with in all ways."

Coach · Master Trainer · Talent Development
As a Trainer, Master Coach and educator, I deeply and passionately believe that movement is a portal - a portal to our energy, to the mind, to the body and the way to fully experience ourselves.
For the past 12 years, I have dedicated my career to movement, specialising in Ride while teaching across London and Dubai in some of the world's leading boutique fitness spaces, including PSYCLE LONDON, Barry's, Motion Cycling and Sanctum. Alongside teaching thousands of people throughout my career, I have spent the past 10 years coaching, mentoring and developing coaches - helping people move beyond simply instructing a class, to understanding how to lead a room with authenticity, inspire others through inner wisdom, create connection through vulnerability and build an experience.
My work has evolved from Coach, to Master Trainer, to leader and developer of talent. Most recently, as Talent Director at Sanctum, I have been responsible for the development and direction of its global Guide team - overseeing talent across international markets, developing training and education, shaping training and recruitment programmes, mentoring Guides, supporting performance and progression, and helping define the standards of what it means to guide a Sanctum experience.
At the heart of all of this is something I have always believed - that movement doesn't have to look a certain way. It doesn't have to be the hardest, fastest or most impressive version of itself. It is about discovering who you truly are through movement. Whether that is on a bike, on a mat, with weights in your hands, dancing to music or simply moving with the weight of your own body, I believe movement gives us access to something innate: it gives us agency over our lives, our energy, our confidence and our capacity to live truthfully.
Beyond the studio, I have worked alongside global brands including Nike and PUMA, and I am proud to be a lululemon Ambassador for Dubai Mall, representing and contributing to Dubai's thriving movement and wellbeing community.
After more than a decade in this industry, my purpose remains beautifully simple: to help people remember...
In their bodies,
In their minds,
In their hearts, who they truly are.
Sound Healing Therapy
Sound has been part of my life for as long as I can remember - growing up with a Dad who is a Guitarist for the Bee Gees probably explains it!
Long before I understood its therapeutic potential, I understood how it felt. From learning and playing instruments including the flute, saxophone and West Indian steel pan, to becoming a DJ and Sound Healer, my relationship with sound has evolved across my lifetime. Music has been a source of expression, connection, energy and healing - and it was this lifelong relationship that eventually led me to train as a Sound Healing Therapist.
Today, I work with Tibetan and Crystal Singing Bowls, alongside carefully curated sound and music, to create immersive experiences designed to support deep rest, reconnection and nervous-system regulation.
At its simplest, sound is vibration - and so are we - and that's why these sessions are truly powerful. They resonate with your energy through vibration.
We don't only hear sound; we experience it through the body. A piece of music can change our mood in seconds. A rhythm can energise us. A frequency can invite us into stillness. Sound has the extraordinary ability to shift our internal state without asking us to do anything at all... because we are also simply vibration after all.
In a world that continually asks us to think, achieve, perform and produce, sound creates a space where we can simply receive. My approach to Sound Healing brings together my experience as a teacher, musician, DJ, Music Curator and Sound Healing Therapist. Years spent understanding rhythm, harmony, frequency, musical journey and the emotional architecture of sound inform every experience I create. I don't simply play instruments; I intentionally curate a journey through sound.
Sessions can be experienced privately through 1:1 Sound Healing, or collectively through bespoke group, corporate and event experiences. Each experience is an invitation to slow down, move out of the thinking mind and return to the body - allowing sound, vibration and stillness to meet you exactly where you are.
You don't have to understand sound to be moved by it, you only have to listen.

Kaya has empowered me to find my light, my true self, guiding me to break through self limiting beliefs and realise that we really can create our own destiny. I’ve had a transformative year and am now in a dream job, a relationship and an all round happier person.
