The Great Way has no gate; there are a thousand paths to it.

Who is Kaia Anderson-Buckley?
My personal and professional belief is that we each come into this life with a purpose. To be conscious of and present in who we are fulfills that purpose; to live, love, learn and leave a legacy. Though getting "stuck" is often part of that journey, staying stuck leaves the work incomplete. In choosing to accept this mission we transform ourselves into heroes on our own Hero's Journey.
After a three year spiritual quest in Japan, as well as living and working in the Japanese culture, I returned to the US and became a client myself in psychotherapy. As well as seeking out several different healing modalities, I found these explorations extremely valuable in learning about my life and my significant relationships. It was during this time that I felt called to do this work in order to support others in their self-exploration. In 2014, I became a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist at HCH Institute in Lafayette, CA. I have also received advanced training at HCH in Past Life Regression and Spirit Releasement therapy.
Additionally, I have an extensive background in all aspects of sex-positive advocacy, education and sexual healing. I have been affiliated with the sex-positive education community for several years; my work in this area involves connecting spirituality with sexuality, sexual healing, and supporting clients in recognizing the difference between fantasy, societal myths and their personal reality. I have taught workshops and given presentations at many educational venues including the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality and SF State. I have completed the San Francisco Sex Information (SFSI) training twice all told, and been a volunteer on their switchboard giving accurate, confidential, non-judgmental information. I have also studied and completed multiple courses in human sexuality at City College in San Francisco.
I am currently part of the teaching team of Navigating Consent, a series of classes held in San Francisco. For information about these classes and what they are about, please visit the website: navigating-consent.com
