Today we’re excited to be connecting with Kayla Harley again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.
Kayla , thanks for joining us again. Just to level set a bit for folks who may have missed our last interview together, can you briefly introduce yourself?
Hi – Kayla Harley, Founder of The Beebodi Marketplace is an International Wellness Practitioner, Certified Optimal Breathologist, Somatic Movement Healer GYROTONIC®/GYROKINESIS® Instructor, Full Spectrum Doula, TEDX Speaker and a 2023 Joy Award Winner as presented by Taraji P. Henson & the Boris L. Henson Foundation.
What sets me apart is the fact that I am not only a Healing Light Worker – but a Chronic Pain Warrior over coming a rare Facial Pain Condition that effects me every single day. I used to shy away from admitting that I’ve been dealing with this for over 7 years now — but I realize it’s my super power, making me more in tune, empathic and understanding of the layers of suffering that people may be experiencing. I’ve gotten to this point y manifestation of my thoughts, actions, dreams and by building meaningful relationships with communities that have great impact. It has gotten me in front of audiences and helped me to reach people who need to hear about my journey and start tapping into Somatic practices that can help set them Free to live a more healthy and whole life.
Alright, so our main goal today is to give our audience an update on what you have been up to since our last conversation. We’d love to hear how things are going and what you are most looking forward to or excited about these days.
I’m super excited to be hosting more Wellness Retreats! I have become known for curating amazing experiences that help people realize who they are on a deeper level, ascend into better versions of themselves and enjoy a beautiful scenic island. These are 5 day experiences that entail Mediation, Dance, Mindfulness Activities and Fun Tour experiences. Participants usually feel revived after returning home and feel inspired to do Great Things.
I’ve definitely witnessed a change in me as well. As a Facilitator, I have to face my own self and do some shadow work to truly heal from Trauma, Pain and Disappointment that was keeping me from being Whole. This was deep soul gut wrenching work — but I’ve reached a point of understanding that has allowed me to be more honest with myself so that I can better serve others.
This year we’ll be traveling to St. Lucia in December for the Beebodi Wellness Retreats Experience and I’d like to have a local retreat in the Washington D.C. Area in Spring/Summer. I have a survey on my website for those interested in Travel to complete!
And finally – I have an e-book that is released called “Everyday Wellness – Holistic Guide” – it includes journal prompts, affirmations and a link to a 45 Mins class session.
We also want to give folks a chance to get to know you a bit better so we’ve prepared a fun lightning round of questions. Ready?

I’m most excited about challenging myself in new ways. There are so many amazing parts to me. I like to stay open to discover which means not limiting myself. I can build things from scratch, I can sing, I can write, I can speak different languages, I can drive a speedboat, I can work a camera, I can speak in front of an audience. I can even do AMAZING Voiceovers —who knows! I might be in your next commercial or animated movie!!
