We are a collective of visionary healers, leaders, educators and practitioners dedicated to empowering individuals through accessible, long-term academy-based holistic wellness programs and transformational coaching modules.
Our Vision….
Our Mission is to empower those individuals who are struggling with little support by providing accessible psychoeducation, life skill training, and transformational support within a safe community container. Through our innovative cyclical, academy-based format, we guide individuals through a personalized, multi-tiered journey of self-discovery, growth, healing, and empowerment, focusing on the interconnected aspects of Mind, Body, and Spirit.
By educating and encouraging lifestyle interventions that support long-term well-being and resilience, our programs integrate elements from both traditional therapeutic practice and complementary treatments to create a comprehensive experience where those who rise through the program ultimately become mentors and guides themselves. This cycle solidifies our ¨pain to purpose¨ model, creates a foundation of compassionate community, and ultimately sustains long-term lifestyle change.
Prism Cirriculum Pillars

Through information, one is empowered to discern one’s choices from an appropriate vantage point. If knowledge is power, we aim to empower everyone with access to this wisdom.

Our expert facilitators will teach students how to access their vitality, wellbeing and overall health through their relationship with their own bodies. Practices such as yoga, tai chi, breath work, nutrition, somatic release techniques and intuitive movement will be taught in a way such that the student will be better empowered to self-resource in times of stress.

Our Innovative Prism Academy Structure
-
All students accepted to our Foundations course are supported through the group cohort, personalized coaching and a Buddy.
Individuals will emerge from this training feeling more resourced, empowered and confident to life a healthy life.
-
After participants complete Foundations, they are eligible to enter our Explorations program.
We provide individuals with access to additional community containers, retreats, educational events and coaching programs at little to no cost.
Accessibility is our mission here at Prism Academy. We believe everyone has the right to access healing containers and supportive communities that feel aligned to them.
-
If a participant has found a healing pathway that lights up their heart, we are here to support their pathway to becoming a qualified facilitator.
Our robust scholarship program, professional partnerships and academic containers provide ample opportunities for Prism students to partake in a facilitator training, mentorship or immersion of their choosing.
Foundations
Our flagship offering: a 7 month container designed to empower struggling individuals to holistically transform their lives.
-
A small group cohort will move through the curriculum together, meeting consistently.
Each month will feature a different theme. Various educational readings, group practices, accountability, and embodied exercises will be provided for each module.
Module 1: Foundation: Building Stability
Module 2: Flow: Navigating Emotions
Module 3: Confidence: Finding Your Power
Module 4: Connection: Opening Your Heart
Module 5: Communication: Speaking Your Truth
Module 6: Vision: See Your Potential
Module 7: Purpose: Creating Meaning
-
While the group cohort provides a practical and educational foundation for change, individual guidance is supportive to implementing aligned changes into daily life.
Alongside the group cohort, each participant will be paired with a qualified and vetted coach for the totality of the program. The focus of these private sessions will be to support the participant with their unique challenges.
-
Professional support is essential in identifying and implementing change, but so are peers! Graduates of Foundations can apply to become a ‘Buddy’ for an individual in future cohorts.
Being in service can be equally healing as receiving assistance. This ‘pay it forward’ model creates a sustainable system of authentic support.
Health is our birthright.
Our Scholarship Program offers accessibility to transformational containers for those struggling individuals who are ready for change.
Holistic Wellness modalities are generally not covered by insurance and thus only accessible to those who are able to afford to pay for them out-of-pocket. This severely limits inclusivity, leaving millions to navigate the limited and often ineffective traditional mental health care services covered by insurance in the US, or worse, receive no support whatsoever.
Our scholarship program is designed to provide access to individuals. We will provide full and partial scholarships determined by a needs assessment.
Scholarship funds are raised through donations, fundraising events and sliding-scale tuition. Individual/direct sponsorships are available per request by the donor.
FAQ : Foundations
How is the course structured?
Everyone accepted into Foundations will be supported through the 7 month program with:
group container
individual coach
Buddy support
How will coaching placements be decided?
Each participant will fill out a questionnaire during the intake process so we can better understand their situation. Based on our available coaches and therapists, we will do our best to make the most well suited matches.
Who can be a Buddy?
The Buddy support system is intended to provide participants with a more casual, accessible and personable point of support during the course. Making habitual life changes can be challenging. We believe having an encouraging “Buddy” will be helpful in this transformational process. Buddies can be a mix of program graduates, vetted volunteers and coaches.

Rebecca Turlay
Co-Founder & President
I am a veteran, yogi, mystic, student, facilitator, and guide. I believe a large part of my existence is to help others find themselves in their dark night, and alchemize pain into purpose.
Through my own healing and integration of shadow parts, I have come into a life and a way of being that feels authentic, yet radical compared to the one I grew up in.
I believe our destiny is revealed with each step we take on the path towards compassion and authenticity. It's my calling in this life to help others take steps on their path, particularly during their shadow chapters.
The path towards healing begins in ourselves, but I believe it is necessary to be supported by community throughout the transformational process.
You are not alone. We are here for you.

Co-Founder & Vice President
I am devoted to the liberation and the joy of uncovering a soul's most authentic expression. I feel a deep drive to help people navigate their shadows and transform pain into purpose and fear into freedom.
My mission is to educate and empower vulnerable individuals on how to holistically heal mind, body, and spirit through self-discovery and to provide guidance as they transmute suffering and addiction into wisdom and creation—so they can lead fulfilling lives and create ripples of healing and abundance throughout their communities.

Hannah Hunter
Co-Founder & Secratary
I’m passionate about every single person on this planet having the tools they need in order to harness the innate power that lies within. We must find ways, as a collective, to break down barriers standing in between us and our birthright: full embodiment and the pursuit of happiness
I specialize in fitness and nutrition, supporting others in becoming more active participants in their own physical experience. By taking full responsibility for how we feel in our bodies, which directly correlates to mental health, we get to experience what I like to call full spectrum living.
Let me also recognize how imperfect and messy the journey of becoming actually is, the way it can be so brutal without support. I believe that our realities come into alignment as we seek further alignment without ourselves.I believe there are holistic ways to physically and emotionally transmute pain, because energy cannot be created nor destroyed; only transformed. And I believe in community, because trial and tribulation was never meant to be experienced alone.

Tatiana Tomich
Co-Founder & Treasurer
For over a decade I have been dedicated to serving humanity by guiding others toward greater self-love, self-realization, and self-actualization through the practice of holistic modalities. As a yoga teacher, Ayurvedic health counselor, and transformational coach I aim to bring more harmony, intentionality and aliveness into the lives of those I work with by facilitating the release of physical, mental/emotional, and energetic blocks and providing tools for personal empowerment.
My own struggle with depression, anxiety, and an exasperation with ineffective pharmaceutical approaches originally motivated my exploration into alternative modalities, and continues to fuel my desire to provide greater accessibility of these interventions to those in need.
