Daya grew up in a conscious, open-minded environment that encouraged curiosity, self-inquiry, and emotional awareness from an early age. This naturally sparked a deep interest in psychology, human behavior, and the inner world.

Educated within the Waldorf system, she developed a holistic way of seeing life, where intellect, emotion, creativity, and embodiment are interconnected.

Her professional path began with Equine Osteopathy, working closely with horses and their nervous systems. Over time, a strong calling emerged to work more directly with people. This unfolded through a project that introduced horses to young individuals, where Daya witnessed first-hand the profound regulating and therapeutic effects of human–animal connection. This experience led her into equicoaching and trauma coaching.

Driven by a curiosity about the links between pregnancy, birth, early childhood experiences, and adult patterns, Daya began guiding individuals toward greater self-awareness, nervous system regulation, and embodied understanding, helping them meet their lived experiences and extract wisdom from them.

She is the founder of Somatic Serenity©, a trauma- and nervous-system-oriented coaching practice. Her work is rooted in Polyvagal Theory, somatic awareness, and body-based regulation. Through education, experiential tools, and attuned presence, Daya supports people in developing greater emotional stability, nervous system capacity, resilience, and connection with themselves.

In 2022, she traveled to Costa Rica to complete a certified Oncology Massage training, deepening her understanding of the healing power of safe, compassionate touch, now offered to individuals affected by cancer.

At the heart of Daya’s work lies one central belief:
that the body holds both our stories and our capacity for healing, and that safety, presence, and compassion create the conditions for true transformation
