Alya has been riding horses for over 20 years, beginning her dressage riding career at eight. She has had extensive dressage training throughout the years and feels that through her training, she has a vast knowledge of how sport horses use their bodies. Alya has previously worked for highly accomplished Dressage trainers to further her education in the sport. She is a USDF Bronze and Silver medalist and has competed her Lusitano gelding through Intermidere I. Alya has also dabbled in jumping. She has three horses that she loves dearly, her Lusitano, Bolero, her Morgan mare, Darla, and her Westphalian/PRE yearling filly, Marvel. 

​

Alya decided to step back from working in Dressage professionally to continue her college education. She has a BS in Communications and minored in Media Analysis from Arizona State University. While finishing school, she worked at a medical office in Business Administration. After completing her college education, Alya began studying equine bodywork and Reiki. She has become a practitioner of Equine Postural Reset, Myofascial release, and is a Usui Reiki Master. 

​

Alya is also a traveling Certified Reiki Master Practitioner for people. Reiki has aided in her healing from sports injuries and has tremendously helped her with anxiety. Through her struggles, she built a practice to assist others on their journey to wellness. Alya values helping her clients overcome mental, physical, and emotional challenges to feel their best!
