About this episode

Anita Toi interviews Aya Wild about her journey from a religious cult to healing trauma through bodywork and plant medicine.

In the following conversation I chat with Aya Wild — Explorer of the unconscious, guiding others home through radical gentleness. Raised in an isolated religious cult, Aya learned early what it meant to be silenced and cut off from her own body. After escaping, she spent the next decade diving into trauma, bodywork, and plant medicine to learn how to hold what others turn away from. She now walks with those whose experiences fall beyond the limits of mainstream healing, people who’ve been shut down, labelled, or offered only superficial explanations for their pain. Aya helps them clarify their trauma, resource their bodies, and find safety in what was once unbearable. With a B.A. in Integrative Therapies for Trauma from Mount Holyoke College, along with training in Complex Trauma , Rosen Method Bodywork , Cranial Sacral Therapy , and Chi Gong/Tai Chi , Aya brings both lived experience and embodied skill to every person she walks beside.
