Hi, I’m Georgina Laiya
I am an independent spirit, a passionate dreamer, a playful soul, an incessant creator, and an unconditional lover of life.
Simply a woman, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a lover. I am also a wild woman, a temple priestess, a medicine woman, and a custodian of sacred living. I honor the rhythms of nature and the wisdom held in our bodies. Though I have no children of my own, I embrace the mother archetype, nurturing deep connection, healing, and transformation. I carry the fire of my Celtic roots, a compassionate warrior who stands for brotherhood, sisterhood, integrity, and community.
In my work I am here to love and champion you—to support you in reclaiming the intelligence, aliveness, and sacredness of your body, to awaken your innate wisdom, and to express your unique gifts with confidence.
I wish for you—and for everyone—to know, deep in your bones, that you belong, you matter, and your presence is a gift to this world. This is the essence of an embodied and intimate way of living.
Deep within, you have all the resources you need
I believe your wild nature holds both a pure, luminous essence and an intense, blazing fire. Perhaps these parts of you have been suppressed or ignored—if they were ever deemed unsafe or unwelcome.
Yet, the potential of your free, wild, and wise self is always there, waiting to be reclaimed.
Your true power lies in embracing both your dreams and wounds, your light and dark. It’s in the weaving together of your unique gifts and life experiences that your creative life force becomes most potent and impactful.
When you channel all that power through your heart, we can co-create a more conscious, responsible, and compassionate world.
If you’re ready to go there, I am by your side.
I am passionate about birthing a new way of living—one that is more balanced, caring, and empowering, where each of us can show up fully and relax deeply into love—for ourselves and for one another.
I dream of a world where every being feels safe, welcome, loved, and honored. This requires:
✨ deep listening
✨ respect & loving-kindness
✨ collaboration & radical honesty
✨ taking responsibility for ourselves and each other
Personal healing and empowerment are essential steps on this path—but we must go beyond. True transformation happens in interdependence, where we each take responsibility, not just for ourselves, but for the collective healing of our world.
I contribute to this by bringing us together, to help us remember—through embodied experiences—what it truly means to love and be loved, to listen and be heard, to respect and be respected.
Georgina's Bio
Georgina is an embodiment and intimacy guide, certified in massage therapy, yoga and Heart iQ Circle coaching. Her journey has taken her across the world, learning from diverse wisdom traditions—from many kinds of Yoga and Bodywork to Circling, Core and Celtic Shamanism, Shamanic Tantra, Tantric Buddhism, and somatic healing. At the centre of it all, she believes in the innate wisdom of the body and the heart as a portal to personal and collective healing and awakening.
Before stepping fully into this path, Georgina spent 15 years in international biodiversity conservation, working with some of the most rural communities and breathtaking landscapes on the planet. She holds two university degrees exploring the relationship between humans and nature. Wild nature has always been her deepest connection to the Sacred, to Source, Soul, and Spirit—an anchor that continues to infuse her work today.
Her spiritual practice honours the sacred feminine and divine masculine in both the ordinary and extraordinary moments of life. She integrates conscious relating, intimacy, sacred sexuality, meditation, yoga, bodywork, holistic health, and nature immersion, weaving these elements into her work with individuals and groups.
Born and raised in Ireland near the sacred Hill of Tara, Georgina has lived in Switzerland for over 25 years, based by Lake Geneva / Lac Léman. Since 2011, she has been leading workshops, retreats, and circles, locally and internationally.
She is the creatress of transformative programmes and communities, including:
✨ Radiant and Brave
✨ Embodied Feminine Wisdom
✨ Living Sacred Womanhood
✨ Rest to Rise
✨ Wild and Wise Woman Awakening
✨ Conscious Connecting
If you're longing to deepen your connection to your body, heart, and soul, Georgina invites you to explore her work and step into a journey of transformation.
