Samaya K. Aster is the director of the Crystalis Institute in Sedona, AZ and has 30 years of training and experience in somatic and vibrational healing modalities. She is a best-selling author (as Naisha Ahsian) in the areas of spiritual growth, crystal consciousness, and crystal healing. Samaya began her journey in somatic therapies including clinical and sports massage therapy. She expanded in practicing and researching vibrational healing modalities when a physical injury made the physical exertion of somatic work too difficult. Samaya originally came to EFT in 2001 as a way to do her own inner work and healing around her physical injury, and later to address her past traumatic abuse issues. The efficacy of EFT in addressing those issues led her to begin working with her clients using EFT techniques. She currently works with clients around the world via the internet in her EFT and coaching practice.
