ABOUT ME

Below you will find a list of my trainings and educations, degrees and credentials, a professional profile if you will.

However, what truly separates me, allows me to offer what many speak of but few actually implement, has some to do with my many credentials, and everything to do who I am.

I AM DEEPLY COMMITTED TO MY PERSONAL PROCESS AND THE LARGER COLLECTIVE PATH.

I am and have always been fiercely dedicated to living and receiving all life has to offer. The pains and beauty, The teachings and healings, Its lessons and wisdoms.

It is because I walk the walk, practice what I preach, constantly embodying, being, feeling, releasing, evolving, that is the “qualification” I am most proud of.

AS I BELIEVE WE CAN ONLY TAKE OTHERS AS FAR AS WE OURSELVES HAVE GONE.

It is just this which infuses each offering with depth, power, and transformation otherwise hard to come by.

Everything I offer is infused with divine grace and curated from the heart

About Malaena:

Malaena was born in as a highly sensitive and intuitive being to a well renounced spiritual teacher and a spiritual therapist. From her personal experience of being born into this line of work Malaena has experienced her whole life both the connection and dissonance between the physical and spiritual worlds.  Since a young age Malaena was able to recognize the danger of trying to ascend away from the human experience. Conversely, she was also able to see the power of transcendence when applied in the right context. These insights inspired her to study how the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual elements fit together to produce the most effective, holistic healing. Both her personal path as well as her offerings are rooted in this exploration, the bridging of the humanly physical and the highly spiritual realms. Rather than bypassing and transcending out of what it means to be human, Malaena uses therapy along with intuition, energy work, and spiritual consultation, to ground in, integrate and embody the interconnection of these dualities. That transformation, awakening, and evolution needs both spiritual growth and psychological development. Shadow and light. Embracing and embodying the fact that we are spiritual beings on a human journey. 

With a Marriage and Family Therapy License (LMFT) and a Masters Certification in Intuition Medicine (MIM) Malaena offers a multi-modality approach to healing. She identifies as a light worker, a modern day mystic, truth seeker, and student of life. She considers herself a fellow trailblazer and warrior, teaching, facilitating, mentoring, and guiding many. Along with personal sessions she also is a teacher, group facilitator, speaker at events and retreats, offers guided meditations, packages, online courses, ceremonies, rituals, chakra work, and more, using her many trainings to bring fourth the modality that is most alive and aligned. 

Her Personal Path:

In more recent years Malaena struggled and overcame mental, emotional and physical difficulty, deeply engaging in her dark night of the soul and spiritual emergency journey. She walked and lived the transformative path more intensely and successfully than most and now is dedicated to teach and offer the process that allowed her to heal.

It was through her pain and sufferings that she found greater love and light. This intense health journey broke Malaena open and into a more truer self and authentic life.. Looking back she has nothing but gratitude for the experience as it brought about profound inner growth and spiritual awakening. It was her greatest teacher in compassion, trust, surrender, and the unknown, as well as the sacredness of life and how to celebrate in all of its beauty..

:”I have died a thousand deaths, each time reinventing myself, brighter, stronger, and purer than before. From the midst of destruction, I became the creator of myself. From the midst of darkness, I became my own source of light.”- Christen Rodgers

HER INTENTION AND HOPE IS THAT AS SHE JOURNEYS TO BECOME THE FORCE AND LIGHT THAT SHE IS, IT CAN BECOME A REFLECTION AND REMINDER OF THE INNATE LIGHT AND GOODNESS THAT RESIDES IN EACH OF YOU.

she is now on a mission to help women re-awaken to their own inner light and the transformative power possible, so they can live as the expression of their highest, brightest, self, as it is needed now more than ever.

EVEN AFTER YEARS OF DEEP DIVING INTO THE STUDY AND INNER WORKINGS OF MENTAL HEALTH, EMOTIONAL HEALTH, ENERGY, AND SPIRITUALITY, MALAENA CONTINUES TO BE AMAZED AND IN ABSOLUTE AWE BY THE IMMENSE POTENTIAL WE HAVE TO CREATE LIGHT OUT OF THE DARKEST OF TIMES.
