Alyona Kobevka is an integrative psychotherapist, ritualist, and group facilitator devoted to a life of lovingly tending to the sacred. Her work is grounded in the approach that remembering our essential nature as human beings and walking the path of our destiny is a soulful, relational, embodied, and mythic journey—one that invites deeper connection with ourselves, one another, the natural world, the unseen realms, and the lineage of past and future generations.

​

Alyona’s path into the healing arts began through personal and familial hardship. As a child immigrant from Ukraine, arriving on the west coast of Canada at the age of seven, she encountered the disorientation of loss and liminality—experiences that would later shape her vocation. Walking the edge between worlds became both her personal myth and a map for guiding others. Through traversing inner landscapes of consciousness and outer terrains across the globe, she came to know home and belonging not as a fixed place, but as a way of being rooted in soul, mystery, and the path of the heart.

​

For over 15 years, Alyona has walked the path of the wounded healer—first as a caregiver for elders with dementia, then as a social worker in prisons and shelters. Along the way, she has also worked for postgraduate education as a marker and grader for master’s programs at Metavision Institute. For the past six years, she has been the co-founder of A Healing Bridge, which she runs alongside her husband, Alexandre.

 

Through A Healing Bridge, Alyona offers mentorship and accompanies individuals, couples, and groups moving through psycho-spiritual awakenings, initiatory passages, and the unfolding work of healing and maturation.

 

Her areas of focus include: 

​

• Major Life Transitions

• Grief, Loss, and Death

• Intimacy, Love, and Relational Repair

• Sexuality, Eros, and the Sacred

• Shadow Work, Power, and Conflict

• Ancestral Remembrance and Ritual Reconnection

• Creative Emergence and Stepping into one's Work

• Psychedelic and Plant Medicine Exploration 

 

Her approach speaks to those engaged in self-inquiry, who long for more authentic and meaningful relationships, who feel called to reconnect with ancestral or spiritual traditions, and who are dedicated to walking a path towards personal transformation and loving service.

​

Alyona’s work is informed by a diverse and integrative path of study, training, and apprenticeship, including:

​

• A Bachelor of Social Work with a specialization in Child Welfare (University of Victoria)

• Two-Year Post-graduate specialist training in Holistic Counseling & Psychotherapy (Metavision Institute)

• Over four years of study in Grof Holotropic Breathwork & Transpersonal Psychology (Grof Transpersonal Training)

• Global training in Ceremony and Rites of Passage (Katie Asmus & Haaweatea Holly Bryson)

• A Three-year apprenticeship in Psychedelic Therapy & Mysticism (AWE Foundation)

• More than 13 years of ceremonial practice and initiatory work with traditional medicine carriers across Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Gabon 

 

She has been initiated into both the Missoko and Mabanji branches of the Bwiti tradition in Gabon, and continues to walk in reverence with her teachers and elders. Alyona also receives therapy, mentorship and supervision with Niyati Evers. In addition to her private practice, Alyona serves as the Program Director and facilitator for Ecstatic Mysticism, a three-year rigorous program of the AWE Foundation since 2023. She lives in the Sacred Valley of Peru with her beloved partner, Alexandre, their dog-soulmate Nala, and their trickster-cat Hampi. She offers online sessions and courses, as well as in-person ceremonies and retreats to participants around the world.

Alyona is passionate about co-creating empowering and healing spaces that honor community, land, lineage, and soul.
