Meet Paulina

 

 

 "To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom."

— Socrates

Aloha,

I’m Paulina, the dreamer behind Layer by layer.

My vision is to create a space for presence and transformation. To me, wellness is more than the absence of illness. It is the harmonious balance of our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual being. Every part of us is connected. 

I practice and teach from what I’ve personally lived and learned. I’m devoted to staying curious and continuously expanding through teachings and practices that deeply resonate with me, so my work can keep evolving in alignment with love, truth, and integrity.

Creativity lies at the heart of everything I do. I love bringing my most inner visions into tangible experiences designed to inspire, nurture, and uplift others. I’m also deeply connected to nature, animals, and the subtle energies around me—drawing on those gifts as part of my creative and healing process.

As a credentialed practitioner, I hold training and certification in my healing and wellness work. I also continuously pursue further education, so I can support others with skill, safety, and heart.

My yoga training is rooted in Yoga Alliance cerfidied-programs in Hatha, Vinyasa, Viniyoga and Ayurveda. This foundation helps me guide students with grounded alignment and a flow that feels both nourishing and approachable—meeting people exactly where they are. I also completed 50 hours of continuing education in trauma-informed yoga. That training shapes how I hold space: offering choice, respecting boundaries, and creating a gentle structure where students can breathe, move, and reconnect at their own pace.
