About Aya
Hello, My name is Aya (Ayelet H) Fogel. My path into Internal Family Systems (IFS) started with over a decade of Vipassanā / Insight meditation and community practice. That work showed me the healing power of meeting inner experiences with curiosity and compassion, rather than pressure or judgment.
My background includes a BS in psychobiology, and professional experience teaching, international program coordination, and facilitation of yoga (200RYT), meditation, and creative expression workshops. I'm currently an emerging IFS practitioner in the IFSCA Stepping Stones training program, about three-quarters complete, graduating end of December 2026.
In my work, I support people in cultivating Self-leadership, emotional clarity, and a more compassionate relationship with their inner parts. Many of the people I work with are therapists, coaches, and helping professionals who are seeking to enhance self-understanding and professional effectiveness through IFS-based work.
Having lived in the USA, Japan, Thailand, and India, I bring a cross-cultural perspective and a mindfulness-based approach that honors the complexity and dignity of each person's inner life.
