Meet Chaya
Registered Nurse, Pelvic Health Practitioner & Women’s Health Mentor
I'm Chaya Leia Aronson — a Registered Nurse, Pelvic Health Practitioner, and Women's Health Mentor.
I've spent over 15 years working with women through pelvic pain, painful periods, hormonal changes, postpartum recovery, and perimenopause — as well as grief, loss, and the harder-to-name life transitions.
I work with my hands, with herbs, and with the nervous system. I'm trained both clinically and in the earth's wisdom. I practice from the body.
I'm direct. I'm warm. I won't bullshit you. I'm not here to fix your body. I'm here to help you come back to center.
Chaya's Story
I lived through Interstitial Cystitis and chronic pelvic pain at a time when there were no online support forums, no Instagram communities, no roadmap. Even holistic practitioners told me this condition was a life sentence. Sex made the pain worse. My bladder hurt constantly. I couldn't drive 30 minutes without stopping to pee.
I made a full recovery.
I believe you can too. It takes time, patience, and consistency — no magic bullet. The magic is in taking your life and health back.
The end result of my healing, beyond living pain-free, was liberation from the patterns of shame and self-diminishment that have ailed women for centuries. I have amazing sex. I learned how to live in my body with reverence, play, and joy. This is a quiet revolution in a culture that teaches girls to people-please and outsource their knowing to authority figures.
I'm also a solo mother to an almost-teenager, which is its own profound education in love, boundaries, and becoming. I bring all of it into this work.
How I work
Through my own healing journey and ongoing study of the womb, it became clear that we retain trauma in our cells — and that it expresses in the physical, hormonal, and emotional ailments that are particular to each woman's soul journey, while also carrying common threads.
The approach I call Center the Womb has grown from over 15 years of this work. It's the culmination of pelvic health and nervous system practice — a way of gently and assuredly releasing what's been held, and coming out of chronic hormone chaos and pelvic pain.
Instead of chasing symptoms or performing wellness, we work with the whole woman — pelvic health, nervous system regulation, bodywork, herbalism, supplements, breath, movement, and lived reality. Together.
Translation: we stop treating your womb like it's separate from your stress, sleep, sex, hormones, or the fact that you're holding everyone else together.
This work is practical and embodied, grounded in clinical nursing expertise and lived experience. It does not rush healing. It does not bypass grief, pain, or complexity.
Sacred and practical aren't opposites.
At its core, Center the Womb is about agency — helping you take ownership of your health and your life, without self-blame, fear, or overwhelm.
This is not about becoming someone new. You're not a renovation project. It's about returning to yourself.
Credentials & Training
I hold an RN BSN license. I have been shaped by many incredible teachers: Maya Abdominal Therapy with Rosita Arvigo of the Abdominal Therapy Collective, Holistic Pelvic Care™ with Tami Lynn Kent, and Women's Empowerment mentorship with ALisa Starkweather. I have studied bellydance and herbalism through a wide range of teachers over the past 20 years.
In a culture with so many lineage fractures, it matters to me to name my teachers — as a gesture toward intactness and repair.
I also tend a deep practice in the plant world, particularly the spring ephemerals and so-called poisonous plants that most people walk past. Poison is medicine in small doses. This ongoing love has led me to create herbal medicines and flower essences through Earthly Ephemerals.
Come Back to Center
You don't need to become someone new. You don't need to perform wellness.
You need a steady place to return to — in your womb, in your body, and in your life.
