Ajayu (ah-hah-yoo) means “soul” in Aymara — the language of the Aymara culture, one of the major Indigenous cultures of South America (Bolivia, Peru, and recognized in Chile).
Ajayu represents the essence of one’s being — the spirit and energy that connects the body to life itself. In Aymara tradition, when someone feels shaken or lost, the reminder is to “call your ajayu back.”
Rooted in Bolivian lineage, Ajayu was created to honor this wisdom — and invite people to reclaim their sense of self so they can return to themselves feeling whole and alive.
At Ajayu, we support you in reconnecting with your body’s truth and stepping into a more grounded, vibrant version of who you are. Here, healing becomes lived — through the way you nourish yourself, through the care in the everyday, and through rewriting your story from the inside out — transforming challenges into strength, and disconnection into wholeness.

The Heart Behind Ajayu
Who We Walk With
Ajayu supports individuals of all genders, 13 and up, who are navigating eating disorder recovery or disordered eating and who want coaching that supports more trust, nourishment, and embodiment in daily life. We also support parents who are caring for a loved one and seeking guidance around creating nourishing rhythms at home.
This work invites more connection to internal cues, more steadiness with nourishment, and more spaciousness for joy, rest, and pleasure in food and daily life. Our support meets you in the real moments — in between appointments, in the everyday flow — where integration happens.
Ajayu offers bilingual guidance in English and Spanish, grounded in dignity, cultural sensitivity, and attuned presence. We hold space for the version of you that is already emerging — more rooted, more connected, and more at home in yourself.
