Frequently, folks seek Alaya out due to her special interest and training in the intersection between psychology and spirituality. Individuals and couples who are seeking to awaken personally and wish to blend this with their particular spiritual frame find Althea's unique approach quite helpful.
Religion (a prescribed structure of belief ) and Spirituality (a personal and particular belief that is significant & "alive" to the particular person) are different. Alaya maintains that a person's spiritual viewpoint has a direct bearing upon one's psychological health
