Credentials & Approach
Kayla Hughes
Founder of Happiness ~ Wisdom ~ Harmony
I have been working in personal growth and transformational work since 2017. This page goes deeper into my training, my philosophy, my ethics, and what you can expect when you enter this space with me — so you can make an informed choice.
There is more wisdom within you than you have been taught to trust.
My Philosophy
I believe that you are not broken, and you do not need to be fixed. My role is not to diagnose, treat, or cure. My role is to hold a sacred, well-bounded space in which you can explore your own experience, discover your own meaning, and do your own work.
I work from a whole-person perspective — because your emotional world, thoughts, beliefs, body, experiences, spirituality, relationships and vision for your future all influence your journey. I don't believe one tool is right for every person, so I choose practices thoughtfully rather than fitting you into a predetermined method.
The tool is never the point. You are the point.
My Training & Practitioner Background
Certified NLP Coach & Practitioner
Using Neuro-Linguistic Programming as a coaching tool for exploring patterns, communication, beliefs, perspectives and personal change. NLP is used here as a coaching and exploratory practice — not as a clinical treatment.
Time Line Therapy® Practitioner
Training in Timeline Therapy® approaches for working with emotional patterns, limiting beliefs and personal change, supporting clients in revisiting and reframing how past experiences are held in the present.
Hypnotherapist with NLP
Training in hypnosis and NLP-based approaches that may be incorporated into appropriate transformational and relaxation work, always with consent and within the client's comfort and capacity.
Access Bars® Practitioner
Training in Access Bars® as a complementary energy-based practice, offered as a gentle, supportive modality rather than a medical or psychological intervention.
Certified Insight Coach
Certified in Insight Coaching through an ICF-accredited coaching program, grounding the coaching work in internationally recognized coaching standards and ethics.
Certified Shamanic Energy Medicine Practitioner
My shamanic practice forms an important part of the sacred, energetic and experiential foundation of this journey — holding space, working with energy, and supporting the client's own process of remembering, releasing, reclaiming and creating.
Medium & Intuitive Practitioner
My spiritual practice also includes intuitive and mediumship work, offered with care, discernment, and respect for each client's beliefs and boundaries.
Ethics & Scope of Practice
The Medicine Wheel Journey is a coaching and complementary practice experience. It is not medical, psychiatric, or psychological treatment, and it is not a replacement for professional medical or mental-health care.
I work within my training and competence. I do not diagnose or treat illness, and I do not work with issues that fall outside the appropriate scope of coaching and complementary practices. When something falls outside that scope, I will say so and encourage you to seek appropriate professional support.
I will never promise a particular outcome, guarantee healing, or claim to remove specific conditions. Responsible practice means staying within competence, being transparent about qualifications, respecting your autonomy, and being clear when another professional or form of support is more appropriate.
Confidentiality
What you share in our space is held in confidence. Your personal information and the content of our sessions are treated with care and discretion, consistent with professional standards and applicable law.
Consent & Autonomy
Nothing is ever forced. You choose what you participate in, and you can pause or decline any practice at any time. Informed choice is the foundation of this work — your sovereignty is always respected.
My Commitment to You
Integrity
I hold the work to a standard of honesty and alignment, not performance.
Respect
I meet you where you are, without judgment.
Confidentiality
What is shared in our space is held in confidence.
Compassion
I hold the space with warmth and humanity.
Honesty
I will be truthful with you, even when it is gently challenging.
Boundaries
I maintain clear, appropriate professional boundaries.
Consent
Nothing is ever forced. You choose what you participate in.
Personal responsibility
I work within my competence and refer when another professional is more appropriate.
I hold the space. I do not hold the power over the person.
What You Can Expect
- A 12-week journey around the Medicine Wheel, with two private 60-minute sessions each week.
- Weekly preparation so you arrive knowing where we are going.
- Personalized integration practices and homework between sessions.
- A modality-agnostic approach — the tools serve your journey, not the other way around.
- Clear boundaries, honest communication, and respect for your pace and capacity.
- Referral and encouragement toward professional support whenever it is appropriate.
If this resonates with what you are looking for, I would be honored to walk beside you.
