About Coach Kaila Allen

Coach Kaila Allen operates from the foundational belief that every individual is creative, resourceful, and whole. She views transformation not as a process of becoming someone new, but as a journey of uncovering the magnificent version of oneself that already exists. In her practice, Kaila acts as a mirror, helping clients see the brilliance and potential that life’s challenges may have obscured. By integrating mindfulness, wellness, and somatic practices, she guides clients to turn “stuckness” into a purposeful Creative Journey.

Kaila’s perspective on growth is deeply influenced by her personal experience with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA). Diagnosed at age three, she began life with partial vision, which gradually transitioned into light perception. This life-long journey taught her that when one way of seeing closes, another opens. This transition forced her to become a master of adaptation and a seeker of “inner sight.” Because Kaila is not distracted by the surface, she listens with specialized intensity—”seeing” through the rhythm of a client’s breath, the tone of their voice, and the energy they bring to each session.

Kaila is a naturally curious soul with a profound love for learning. Her professional path represents a 20-year evolution through the healing arts:

• Expert Roots: Her career began over two decades ago as a Licensed Massage Therapist, where she learned how the body stores stories and stress long before the mind finds the words.

• Energy Mastery: In 2004, she began her energy work alongside her father. Today, as a Reiki Master, she helps clients clear the energetic blockages that keep them from feeling balanced.

• Professional Facilitation: Kaila is a certified Grateful Gathering Host through GratefulLiving.org. In this role, she facilitates monthly conversations designed to help community members explore the transformative practice of grateful living.

• Professional Evolution: Kaila formalized her coaching path by graduating from the Mindfulness Coaching School in 2024 as a Mindfulness Wellness Somatic Coach (MWSCC), merging her background in Reiki and somatic work with professional coaching and meditation instruction.

Kaila believes that personal growth is best sustained when it is grounded in joy. She actively practices finding “glimmers”—small, spark-like moments that bring peace and connection to the world:

• The Tactile Art of Crochet: Kaila finds meditative peace in the rhythmic motion of crochet, enjoying the creative process of turning yarn into something beautiful.

• In the Kitchen: She has a passion for baking all types of treats, finding joy in the tactile process and the comforting aromas that fill her home.

• In the Pages: As an avid reader, she is fueled by curiosity, constantly exploring new worlds and perspectives through books.

• On the Road: She enjoys the shared rhythm of a tandem bike ride with her husband, Jimi, feeling the wind and the connection of the path beneath them.

• Family and Laughter: As a mother to two teenagers, Jordan and Jonah, she finds her biggest glimmers in family laughter, which she considers a sacred tool for shifting energy.

It is Kaila’s mission to ensure that wellness and growth are accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial or physical situation. She finds her greatest reward in witnessing the “aha moment”—the instant a client’s shoulders drop and they realize they had the answers all along. Kaila’s goal is for every client to finish a session feeling lighter, more capable, and deeply connected to their own potential.
