What is AN?

The word "an" in the Turkish language reflects the unique essence of each moment, a concept with no direct equivalent in English. This idea shapes AN's philosophy, which focuses on being fully present in the moment. Inspired by the wisdom, clarity, and stillness of deserts, AN mirrors how the desert strips away distractions and helps us connect with our true selves. In both "an" and the desert, there is nothing to pull us away—just the pure, powerful presence of the moment and our authentic selves.

AN believes in

  • every individual's intact and powerful authenticity,
  • the beauty and joy of being a community,
  • and learning from one another.

and thus aims to provide a unique platform that empowers our community members to nurture their wellness, growth, and authenticity.

You and the universe, it is a love story...

Ayla Ali

Ayla is an energy healing practitioner dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with their authentic selves, fostering individual and collective healing. She envisions a world where everyone lives in alignment with their true purpose - present and light, free from the emotional and mental weight of the past - a world that is healed, whole, and deeply connected.

With a foundation in linguistics and marketing, Ayla spent 20 years as a communications professional. Alongside this professional journey, she nurtured a profound passion for natural remedies, wellness, and the interconnectedness of nature, humanity, and the universe.

Ayla’s journey into healing began in the wake of a sudden loss of a loved one, a transformative experience that profoundly shaped her path. Struggling with grief and a sense of emotional disconnection led to the discovery of Reiki, the chakra system, and its wisdom. The concepts of energy centers and their connection to emotional and mental well-being resonated deeply, making perfect sense of her experience. 
This awakening sparked a long journey of exploration. She began observing others, listening to their emotional and mental challenges, and witnessing a clear association between their struggles and chakras. She was introduced to Reiki, a practice that became a cornerstone of her own healing journey in 2011. In 2016, she began studying Reiki and eventually became a Certified Reiki Master, completing all levels of training with a meticulous master who comes from the lineage of Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of the traditional Japanese Reiki Method.

Ayla started to build AN in 2020 with the vision of a decentralized space for healing, growing and sharing. Today she offers Reiki energy sessions both remotely for anyone around the world and in-person in central Germany (Göttingen). Deeply interested in the interconnectedness of energy, matter, and the universe, she approaches healing with curiosity, care and her innate compassion.

Empowering individuals and contributing to a more connected and healed world is a personal purpose that brings great joy and meaning. In the future, she hopes to share her experiences and insights through writing, continuing to support others on their path to self-love and growth. Additionally, she aims to expand AN with community retreats and workshops.
