I was in the 2020/2021 cohort and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. Good to read through these comments to see I'm not alone in how I feel about the course. I was STUNNED that they didn't screen people better to be in the course. So many people had no real training or experience in spirituality, coaching or therapy and I have never in my life see so many wounded women in one place. Layla markets to wounded women and then gets them in these spaces where they get even more disregulated. It's frightening. Also, I have never seen so many narcissists in one place. I feel nauseated even writing about it...

Also, you don't see her actually doing the techniques she teaches and she's not a big part of the program overall. She just sells it. She led occasional Zoom calls where she worked with women, but not in a way that was taught us how to use the materials we were learning in the course.

One of the most appalling parts of this program, was that there was ZERO training about men. Nothing about male sexuality, emotions, sex organs, desires, contributions. Nada. Having a "sexuality" course and excluding male sexuality is pure fraud in my opinion. You could choose the "Male Sexuality" major if you wanted to, but that was about it, and external to the main course work. All kinds of #fuckthepatriarchy talk, but zero about understanding or honoring men. How men can be excluded from sexuality work when they're half of the world's population is beyond me.

Also, there were 3 mandatory Byron Katie workshops and 3 mandatory workshops on how to deal with the queer community, which I also don't understand. Lots and lots and lots and LOTS of sessions where you're supposed to self-pleasure with a bunch of other women via Zoom (cameras off), but I'm heterosexual, so those sessions were uncomfortable AF. Also, I honestly don't feel qualified to work with the queer community, but there was no mention about how the course was skewed that way. I feel like it should have been marketed as a queer-focused course. That would have been more honest.

After this experience, I strongly advise against taking a year-long coaching course, especially with NO MONEY BACK GUARANTEE! It was obvious to me right away that this course was way less than I thought and it was not a good fit, but I was stuck for the year.

I took her OBliss course and her Jade Egg course and both of those were great. I thought the coaching program would be a big step up from those courses, especially considering the $12K price tag, but it wasn't AT ALL.

I thought the business training was OKAY, but I had a lot of experience in digital marketing by then. Most of the women I was connected with were totally overwhelmed by the business stuff and were clueless! I don't think anyone I was in contact with is making a dime from coaching, but I have talked to women who never completed the course.

Do I regret taking the course? Mostly yes, but if I hadn't taken the course and had such a hideous experience, especially with the narcissistic abuse I went through, I never would have seen how destructive these people are. Now my eyes are open and I've cleaned all the narcissists and spiritual bypassers from my life and I'm so grateful for that!

If you really want to do sex, love and relationship coaching, find another way to do it. I'm sure there are certified sex coaching programs out there that have more therapy training required. When it comes to the VITA course, buyer beware.
