Alyona Kobevka is an integrative psychotherapist & mentor, ancestral 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 soul-led, relational, embodied, and ever-evolving journey—one that invites deeper connection with ourselves, one another, the natural world, the invisible realms, and the lineages of past and future generations.

​

Alyona’s path into the healing arts began through confronting intergenerational 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. 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.

 

She supports individuals who are:

​

• Navigating major life transitions

• Deepening intimacy with grief, loss, and death

• Exploring intimacy, love, and relational healing

• Cultivating wholehearted embodiment and presence 

• Exploring sexuality, eros, and the sacred

• Engaging in themes around shadow work, power, and conflict

• Reconnecting with ancestral wisdom & ritual

• Stepping into their soul's work

• Seeking to deepen in psychedelic and plant medicine work 

• Moving through initiatory & spiritual awakening processes

 

Her approach speaks to those engaged in deep self-inquiry, longing for more authentic and meaningful relationships, feeling called to reconnect with ancestral practices or deepen into spiritual traditions, and devoted to walking a path of 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)

• 15 years of ceremonial and initiatory work with medicine carriers across Australia, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Gabon

• 15 years of study with diverse teachers and practitioners, both online and in person, focused on ancestral & relational healing; process work; animism and shamanism; energy healing and sacred space holding; sexuality and eroticism & more.

 

Alyona has been initiated into both the men’s and women’s branches of the Bwiti Iboga-revering tradition in Gabon, Africa (Missoko and Mabanji), and carries the healing and medicine lineage of AWE, with deep gratitude to her teacher in this work, Lila Vega. She also receives ongoing therapy and supervision with her mentor, Niyati Evers. From 2023–2026, Alyona served as Program Director for Ecstatic Mysticism, a rigorous three-year initiatory program of the AWE Foundation. She currently 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 for participants around the world.
