About Lonay As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I know firsthand the journey of navigating heartbreak and toxic relationship patterns. It’s this personal experience that fuels my passion for guiding others towards healing and transformation. My upbringing in a war country, as well as being gay, I intimately understand the struggles and challenges that can arise from navigating one’s identity and acceptance. The journey to self-acceptance can be fraught with societal expectations, internalized shame, and the fear of rejection. These experiences can deeply impact our sense of worthiness and affect our relationships, particularly our love lives. Through my own journey of embracing my identity and overcoming societal norms, and as a certified RTT practitioner and hypnotherapist, I’ve developed a profound empathy and insight into the unique experiences and traumas faced by individuals within the LGBTQ+ community. I’m dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their authentic selves, heal from past wounds, and cultivate fulfilling and authentic relationships.
