Hello, my name is Aya (Ayelet H.) Fogel. My path into Internal Family Systems (IFS) grew out of more than 13 years of Vipassanā (Insight) meditation and community practice. Through this work, I came to understand the healing power of meeting inner experience with curiosity and compassion, rather than pressure or judgment.

My background includes a B.S. in psychobiology, along with professional experience in teaching, international program coordination, and the facilitation of yoga (200-hour RYT), meditation, and creative expression workshops. I am a graduate of the IFSCA Stepping Stones program and bring this training into my IFS-informed work.

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 seeking to deepen self-understanding and enhance professional effectiveness through IFS-based work.

Having lived in the United States, 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.
