About Keyla Ohs
My journey began many years ago, driven by a passion for delving into the mysteries of the human spirit and our profound connection with the universe. Over time, my path has taken many turns, each one enriching my tapestry of experiences and deepening my understanding of our spiritual essence as human beings.
I have tended and overcome many challenges in this human life- I was a professional figure skater representing Canada on the International stage for nearly a decade, and this experience taught me what it takes to be successful and dedicated to a path, but it did not teach me how to listen and honour my body, tend traumatic experiences, or connect to Source consciousness. When I began my own healing journey, I was in tremendous pain- physically, mentally and spiritually.
I felt that there was nowhere to go but up. I knew that there were stories in my mind that derived from lived experience, but were not completely true. I knew that my ego was running the show and there were lessons I needed to learn from the challenges I had faced. So, I began a life long commitment to meditation, energy healing and consciousness development, and it completely changed my life. I began to heal.
In 2015 I was in a car accident that completely changed the trajectory of my life- it put me back on track and exactly where I was supposed to be.
My husband and I moved from Vancouver to Kelowna (my birthplace) and I completely recreated myself and began implementing all the tools I had gathered over the years of self development and trauma healing, studying under a traditional Zulu Sangoma (South African Shaman) to understand the ancient ways of being in alignment with our planet and our Soul.
I began to walk in right relationship with the Earth. This training had a profound impact on the way I live my life and see the world and led me to become a shamanic practitioner, incorporating traditional buddhist meditation techniques, energy healing, and shamanic principles into my practise.
I have tremendous gratitude for the experiences I have had, the wisdom and teaching I have learned, and the community I have built. I am motivated by the memory of traversing my spiritual path by myself, without guidance, teachings, or community and feeling very, very alone. Decades of seeking, asking questions, and making choices that were questionable at best has inspired me to create a container in my work that provides for others what I did not have myself- spiritual connection, safety, guidance, and community.
I want to offer other seekers all of the short cuts and experiences that have led me to where I am today. As a shamanic practitioner, I have had the privilege of integrating ancient wisdom and rituals into the contemporary challenges faced by many. By bridging the world of Spirit with the realm of the tangible, I have been able to guide others through transformative healing processes, helping them rediscover their path and purpose and the magic that lies within.
Leading group meditations and creating guided visual meditations is a deep passion project for me. I aim to bring you into a state of peace, so your own inner voice becomes louder, your ego becomes quieter and you can trust in the knowing of who you are. When we trust, our personal unfolding becomes one filled with Grace and patience. The majority of my meditation offerings are channeled directly from my guides. You can find these offerings on my YouTube channel, Keyla Ohs Wellness, and to receive more intimate offerings, please sign up for my weekly newsletter.
As a public speaker, I’ve had the honour of sharing my insights, experiences, and teachings with larger audiences, spreading messages of hope, unity, and spiritual awakening. Whether it’s a conference, a seminar, or an intimate gathering, my mission remains consistent: to illuminate the path towards inner peace and raise collective consciousness.
In essence, my life’s work is about weaving together the ancient and the modern, the individual and the collective, the spiritual and the everyday. It is a dance of light and shadow, and I invite you to join me on this journey.
Together, let’s explore, heal, and elevate. You are so welcome here.
