MY Story

Meet Alyssa Montana

RYT 500 | Yoga Teacher Trainer | Thai Yoga Bodyworker | Retreat Guide | Multi-dimensional Energy Worker

I am currently in a season of massive growth. Throughout my life I have journeyed through many gates of hell, or as the muggles call it trauma.

While I was traveling deep into my subconscious the past three years, I discovered many spiritual gifts as I relied on Faith to survive this painful human experience.

The past seven years I experienced too much loss to even list, and nothing I had been taught the previous decade before could support my grief. My path required me to abandon all “gurus” and “teachings” so I could find my heart, core and Truth.

My pendulum swung to extreme places most humans wouldn’t survive without a long stay at a psychiatric hospital. I fought demons (unconscious fear), discovered dragons (polarity magic), found angels (unexplainable connections) and reconnected with my Spirit Team. 

I also tried to become a massage therapist in Florida, but was attacked by the system for asking too many clarifying questions.

My work is deeply transformative because we travel deep into your underworld, otherwise known as fascia while also spiraling deep into the Mystery.

I love to weave science and spirit, mind and body, focus and play, and so much more! This work is for humans who are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Radical change requires radical shifts in being and moving through life. Transformation is a journey for the brave.

Are you ready to play in the Underworld and return with True Power?

Education & Embodied Trainings

My path blends science, spirit, movement, and energy. Each modality has shaped the multidimensional lens through which I now guide others. I continue to study the body as an oracle, the fascia as a frequency tuner, and the nervous system as a sacred map.
