about kalia
Hello, Welcome
I’m Kalia Wright
I have a gift of seeing and holding people with deep, loving presence and compassion in ‘all of it’. It is these potent, deeply accepting spaces where shame and guilt die and a new, more loving, more confident, more bad-ass you emerges
My skills and offerings are trauma-informed and underpinned by my extensive life experience and training in Psychosexual Somatics® Therapy Coaching, Embodied-Relational Therapy Group Facilitation and my studies in Psychology and years of practice as a child protection Social Worker, Youth Worker and University Lecturer. My nature is to investigate life to the fullest, gaining wisdom from my own and collected stories of peoples’ challenges and breakthroughs so I may share this with others. As an Aries, I love to challenge the status quo by embodying self-love and full-expression as a basic human right. I also embrace subtlety and nuance and believe there is no ‘one size fits all’ to loving or expressing yourself. I role model the power we all have to deprogram our minds, to master our nervous systems and to build the skills we need to live freely and fully
I am a fierce advocate for you knowing yourself so deeply that you cannot be gas lit, manipulated or have the world tell you who you should be. I guide you to develop deep inner-listening and awareness so you can be an active participant in your life; one that questions, discerns and expresses yourself rather than numbing out, avoiding and passively accepting life because of some narrative you got told by those who benefit from you playing small
My closest friends know me for my trustworthiness, being a great listener and having a calming presence. I have an innate skill to listen and sense with my whole body, therefore creating spaces for people to feel trust to be able to share what they need to. I am skilled at tenderly holding the most vulnerable parts of what it is to be human, especially the shamed, stuck or afraid parts of our inner-world until they feel safe enough to come home. My medicine is pouring my love into your humanity and holding space for your possibility, permission and clarity

You are not alone
I currently work with 1:1 clients, couples and groups to develop foundational skills in love, life and relationships. My work includes teachings, inner-parts work and somatic guidance exercises so they can experience deeper levels of connection and sustainable positive change in their lives. I have close to two decades of experience working with people, including safeguarding, assessment & intervention and supervision. I have over 35,000 hours of direct work with individuals, couples and families. My service to humanity is to create experiences for people to meet themselves more deeply, so they may come to embody the truth; that they are loveable, powerful and capable human beings
I am also a Herpes+ mentor and fierce advocate for destigmatising Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Through education and modelling to others who are diagnosed with an STI with no known cure that it is entirely possible to live a full and honest life, especially in dating, relationships and intimacy
