Laaya Vogel
Laaya is the founder, CEO & creative force behind LAAYASKINSECRET.
Born in Germany she was interested in art, healing work and spirituality since childhood. Laaya was fortunate to be trained and certified as a practitioner in Craniosacral Balancing by world-renowned teacher Badhrena C.Tchumi, founder of the International Institute for Craniosacral Balancing. She is also educated as a graphic designer at media school, Macromedia, Munich.
In 2002 Laaya met the great teacher Sri Kaleshwarara in Germany at a public talk where he taught the ancient eastern knowledge. Everything he said made so much more sense than everything else she ever heard before. Despite living a successful worldly life, there was no doubt that she wanted to dedicate her life to spirituality and moved to India.
She studied under the direct guidance and supervision of Sri Kaleshwarara, He trained her in powerful secret siddhic healing techniques and ancient soul sciences. Part of her training with Sri Kaleshwara was the knowledge from the ancient Vedic Palm Leaf Manuscripts accessible to the western world for the first time, combined with Japa meditation of countless mantras. Those vibrations strengthened protection circles and soul capacity but also brought up much personal purification.
During that time profound spiritual experiences expanded her awareness, and the way she looked at life. She discovered that just as the force of gravity makes an apple fall to the ground, the soul operates through energetic forces in order to live in alignment with a divine consciousness.
Her master left his body in March 15, 2012.
That was the beginning of discovering India outside of the protected Ashram life and Laaya visited many big temples and traveled to the Himalayas meeting many sadhus seeing with her own eyes what their life really looks like. Then she fell deeply in love to India. And India responded by providing ways to grow and meet people of great use on her path. After this became a tour guide for western people to show the most powerful temples that are not on the tourist map. That was her first step to integrate all she had learned.
She became good friends with Dr. Gokul Varma and began work at his Ayurvedic clinic in South India, Coimbatore, adding her healings to the Ayurvedic treatments. She connected deeply with the whole family like their own child. She was blessed when she learned more about soul hygiene, and Ayurvedic principles from a highly educated Brahman family. She became a family member and it was home for her.
Laaya returned to the world in the West in 2016 and settled in US, California. Expressing her skills trough healing work, singing Indian Sanskrit music in public and recordings, https://hrudayadivya.bandcamp.com/
teaching and design work.
But also she had to face skin issues due to the change in climate. Everything she tried on the market failed. She started learning about skincare from Asia which complimented and combined with her Ayurvedic knowledge. She figured out how to heal her own skin with organic plant ingredients experiencing the amazing power of natural healing with clean organic plants. So it became of great interest to see what she could develop in order to provide clean skin care to other people. In this way “Laaya Skinsecret” skincare line was born in addition and became her primary focus. Laaya creates all her products with love and care and consideration. Together with and Ayurvedic Dr. she formulates powerful products that are helping other people.
She always looks for ways to combine science and spirituality in her personal life and serve to the public.
Martina Stevens
Martina is a photographer, model and mother based in United Kingdom,
She is working as my Branding Model and Photographer at the same time.
Martina spent twenty years as a fashion model in front of the camera, learning from some of the best photographers in the world, before moving behind the camera to capture those stolen moments, special bonds and the memories that we hold closest. She developed a deep understanding about attraction over the years. To have an eye and focus on what angle looks the most attractive in everything is a tremendous important talent in a world where packaging counts more than everything else,
I consider myself extremely lucky because Martina came to help when I started my skincare line. Her creative naturally flowing talent is helping me so much in front and behind the lens! With her striking artistic skills, Martina gave every single product a signature with innovative beauty. The same can be said about her stunning face and lifestyle shots. People paid attention and we actually started to sell product. She has a beautiful gift to translate emotions, or a fragrance, into a stunning visual impression and pays attention to detail that perhaps only an experienced Model can. I am so happy and inspired by her work and give her huge credit for my sales. She is lifting everything to an entirely new level. On top of it all she is so delightful to work with. Truly a God Send! I hope to work with her in the future as my line develops and would recommend her as a highly skilled Artist, Model, and Photographer.
