About Javia

Hey y'all, I’m Javia (or Jae).

 

If you're wondering, it's pronounced Jah-Vee-Uh! 

I am a yoga teacher and personal development coach.

​

To be honest, I like to talk a lot (lol). And I love helping people find peace, clarity, and emotional safety. That pretty much sums up my life's work. 

 

One thing that’s especially important to me is nervous system regulation.

​

I'm an Afro-Latina who grew up in the South, Arkansas, to be exact.

I’ve dealt with anxiety since I was a teenager, and as I got older, panic attacks entered the picture.

 

My nervous system is super sensitive, which is a big part of why I turned to yoga and mindfulness.

​

For me, the most important thing is feeling safe in my body.

Do I still have anxiety attacks? Absolutely. But thanks to my yoga and mindfulness practices, they happen less often, and when they do, I’m able to ground myself quickly. I’ve tried just about every medication out there, but I’ve learned I prefer a holistic approach.

​

When your nervous system is calm, clarity follows and this leads to me helping others gain clarity and find their path with personal development coaching.

​

I actually started out offering spiritual coaching sessions through phone calls and video messages. Over time, that evolved into life coaching rooted in experience. I’ve gone through a lot of adversity, picked myself up, and reinvented my life more times than I can count: new careers, cities, relationships -  all of it.

​

Now, I hold space for others the way I once needed someone to hold space for me.

​

And I’m in my 30s, so I know a little something-something lol.

​

If you're into astrology, I’m a Pisces - so holding space, empathizing, and offering support comes naturally to me. Whether I’m guiding students on the yoga mat or connecting through coaching calls and videos, I show up fully.

​

My own journey is what brought me into this work.

​

I’m healing and holding space for myself daily - and sharing that process with the world as I continue to grow and discover who I am.

​

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me reading, working out, getting lost in a playlist, checking out a new coffee shop, doing yoga (of course), creating art, or exploring something new with my son.

 

If you made it this far, I'm glad you're here.♡
