 Yaya Lango Lango

I’m based in Los Angeles, California, but I spent the first half of my life in the South, calling Nashville my home for 20 years. It’s there where I pursued both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees, graduating in 2011 with a Master's of Education with an emphasis in Mental Health Counseling. I also completed a Master's of Science in Complementary and Alternative Medicine from the American College of Healthcare Sciences in Portland, Oregon.

I bring my love for wellness and spirituality into the counseling and coaching settings by focusing on holistic healing. Focusing on all components of wellness is the only way to fully become whole and healthy.

I have extensive education in nutrition, aromatherapy, essential oils, spirituality, and energy healing. I’m baptized in Sanse (Puerto Rican Vodou) and am a Yaya Nkisi Malongo in Palo Mayombe. I’m also an Access Bars, Usui Reiki II and a Holy Fire Reiki II practitioner, and am certified in level 1 Energy Psychology, a treatment that has been proven effective for reducing or eliminating the body's response to trauma, pain, addiction, habits, anxiety, and many other mental health and day-to-day issues.
