About Alycia Wong

Alycia is the founder of The Way Hōm. Raised in Vancouver, BC and now Denver, CO based, her mission is to empower collective well-being through self-care and resilience-building practices. Growing up competitively dancing, she was always inspired by the body's resilience and capacity for expression. Witnessing her father's struggle with mental illness, and inspired by her mother’s interest in holistic health, led to her fascination with the mind-body-spirit connection.

Our mindset creates our reality, and in a dysregulated world, it's easy to lose connection to our sense of vitality. Alycia brings 13+ years of coaching dance and group fitness along with certifications in barre, pilates, 200HR-RYT and Soma+IQ Breathwork, to create welcoming, curated and transformative containers for healing. Alycia hopes to foster the freedom that comes from self-belief, helping others remember how to tap into their innate power so they can access greater clarity, connection to purpose and sense of awe.
