End Relationship Pain — at the Root

A new approach to emotional and relationship transformation for conscious adults who are ready to move beyond coping strategies, communication techniques, and years of repeating the same painful patterns.

What is Awakened EQ™?

Awakened EQ™ is
evolved emotional intelligence
It is a simple and effective way of working with emotions and relationships that is also aligned with the next stage of human consciousness.

Developed by Kaya, Awakened EQ™ (AEQ) blends psychology, neuroscience, and metaphysical principles into a practical framework for understanding and resolving the deeper emotional patterns that drive suffering and conflict. 

Unlike many traditional therapy and coaching models that focus primarily on analyzing, coping strategies, communication techniques, or behavior modification, Awakened EQ™ works with the organic healing process of both the psyche and the Universe itself.

This work allows you to discover and clear the true source of triggers, emotional and relationship pain, and frustrating life patterns
— especially for those who have already spent years in therapy, personal growth, and spiritual work yet still feel stuck. 

With AEQ, you won't just understand your past.
You will heal it once and for all.

Not through control, "fake it till you make it," or trying harder to rise above it. 

But by clearing the original emotional charge at the root
— allowing healthier patterns to arise organically.

Ways to Work with Kaya

Private Coaching

For those who want to create the biggest shifts, private coaching offers highly personalized support designed to uncover and clear the underlying source of long-standing emotional and relationship struggles.

Group Work

Group sessions offer opportunities for emotional integration, shared healing, and the resolution of patterns that often cannot fully heal in individual sessions. Healing happens powerfully in a safe, conscious community.

It also provides a powerful space to learn and practice Awakened EQ™ skills with others who are genuinely committed to emotional growth and creating a safer, healthier, more loving world.

This is your tribe. These are your people.

Retreats

AEQ retreats are immersive experiences that offer the opportunity to step away from daily life and focus on a deeper level of healing and transformation.

These intimate experiences are designed to support profound breakthroughs in relationships, emotional wellbeing, and inner peace.

Workshops & Speaking

Through the lens of Awakened EQ™, Kaya offers transformational workshops and speaking experiences exploring the true cause of painful relationship patterns, how to stop attracting the same difficult people and situations, and how emotional triggers are actually part of the healing mechanism of the Universe
- if you know how to use them. 

These experiences are designed to create meaningful emotional shifts — even in a single event.

About Kaya

Kaya (rhymes with Maya) is the founder of 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲, where she specializes in helping conscious adults who have done years of personal growth work yet still find themselves caught in painful relationship patterns.

After 30 years in holistic health, body-mind healing, and metaphysical principles, she shifted her focus to an extensive study of psychology and neuroscience. Integrating these fields of knowledge, she developed 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐐™ (AEQ). Her work helps clients create profound and lasting change where traditional approaches often fall short.

Having used AEQ to heal her own childhood trauma and relationship struggles, Kaya’s work is shaped by both lived experience and a deep understanding of the emotional healing process. This gives her work a rare depth, compassion, and authenticity that clients often feel immediately.

Known for her intuitive insight, warmth, and ability to quickly identify the underlying source of their issues, Kaya helps her clients move beyond struggling and coping into lasting transformation.

Clients find AEQ™ both simple to apply and remarkably effective in creating the inner peace and healthier, more fulfilling relationships they have desired for years.

Kaya is currently completing her forthcoming book,
Triggered to Transformed: Peace and Love in the Age of Awakening,
a guide to using the AEQ  healing process.

Testimonials

"This has been some of the most effective work I have ever done. I knew all the affirmations and "mind-changing" language from my previous therapy, but it didn't HEAL me, and my patterns didn't change. I am so grateful to Kaya for this work. My pattern of toxic relationships released its hold on me, and my life is continuing to reveal my own peace and happiness that I have been looking for since I was very young."
