Alyah Chanelle Scott

“Her teaching style is honest and playful. She allows you to grow in confidence and technique by giving you the freedom to explore. The tools she’s given me have become an integral part of my process. She has this magical ability to meet you right where you are, allow you to find confidence in authenticity, and then give you tools to grow from that place. She never let me quit on myself, and I’ll always be grateful to her for that.”
