Good Life Academy

This is such a special and unique place! From the minute you walk into the very warm and inviting home like setting, you feel you wish it was your home! I run a monthly support group here for adoptive families and every one in our group loves it too. We especially like the huge backyard so our kids can play outside while we have our grown up time inside. The ladies Hayuta & Siggie who run it are the nicest ladies you’ll meet. So honorable and trustworthy and accommodating. There is a big main room and smaller rooms. Also a full kitchen and restrooms. If you’re a therapist or run any classes and are looking for a place for an office or place to hold workshops or meetings, this is a perfect place. All the wonderful people that are here have such awesome services like acupuncture, massage, yoga, prenatal care, acting classes, writing classes, art classes, music classes. They also have had great speakers and screenings here. Only thing required is that it’s something that will uplift the quality of life for others so that they may have a good life! Thus, it’s name! Love this place and am so grateful to Siggie and Hayuta for all they do! I’m so blessed to have found them!

I lead writing and yoga retreats and have been looking for a place to hold local 1-​day mini-​versions of my longer retreats. I needed a space that has room for yoga as well as plenty of seating and nooks and crannies for writers to sit and work on their projects. I also needed it to be affordable so I could keep costs low for working writers.
I looked at dozens of places throughout LA before I found Good Life Academy. I was so thrilled to discover this beautiful, loved, and light-​filled space! The main room is large enough to fit 10 – 15 people in a yoga class if you slide the furniture to the side; there is a full kitchen you can use to store lunches and snacks; the back yard is huge and set up with chairs and tables; there’s also a side yard and front yard, and there are a myriad of options for where to write. And, best of all, Good Life Academy offers a membership for facilitators, where you pay a VERY reasonable monthly rate and then have access to the space for up to 11 hours a week and 10 people per event. (This may change, so check details!)
The owners, Hayuta and Siggie, were welcoming and delightful from the start, and they have worked with me with all my myriad requests to customize the space (such as allowing me to take up kitchen space to leave snacks and mugs and a coffee maker there for my monthly retreats). I can’t recommend this place highly enough. I held my first 1-​day retreat there this month and it was spectacular. Everyone loved the space and the vibe and the peace. One writer even wrote 6000 words!
If you are a facilitator of an event, check out Good Life Academy. Hayuta and Siggie will take great care of you as well.

Chayuta has been lecturing at our senior group meetings at MATI and is simply wonderful. Her topics are always incredibly interesting and she knows how to engage the members of this group every time. She is an inspiration!

The Good Life Academy is AMAZING. I went to see Hayuta Cohen for Hypnotherapy and it was my first time trying the technique. I went to try to relieve my anxiety for the upcoming California Bar Exam. As much as I felt well prepared, the performance anxiety was getting to me. I was very overwhelmed and intimidated by the three-​day long, hardest bar exam in the country.
Hayuta’s techniques individually catered to my learning style and my personal fears and emotions. By helping me incorporate positive ways of reframing some of my thoughts, she helped me get out of my own head and perform at my best. I was oddly calm on test day. I went to see her a second time the day before the bar exam and I felt inspired, ready, and clear.
I don’t believe in miracles and I don’t think her hypnotherapy made me magically pass the bar. Instead, I think it dramatically helped me think clearly on test day and perform. I strongly recommend Hayuta Cohen and the Good Life Academy for those who are tackling a large obstacle whether it be an exam, a divorce, quitting smoking, etc. She makes larger mental or physical obstacles manageable and doable. I know others who say she has even helped women overcome fertility issues.
Hayuta’s ability to help individuals reframe the way they think is very powerful and I highly recommend the Good Life Academy to all. It truly has something for everyone, no matter what you are struggling with.

Hayuta is a compassionate and effective Hypnotherapist. I went to her for some personal issues and anxiety about cruising and sea sickness. She aided me in confronting these issues and healing past pain through hypnosis. She is a warm and loving woman, The Good Life Academy offers a variety of wellness options in a supportive environment. I like to see her for relaxation and focus.
I’ve seen so many wonderful outcomes and positive changes working with Hayuta. It helped me find fulfillment and peace, and provided proven results. Hypnotherapy with Hayuta can give you the life you want and is affordable.
Hayuta is a wonderful and very well-​rounded healer. She will help you with what I believe are the most important aspects of health which are your mind and your body.

Good Life is a really unique and wonderful wellness center. They offer an incredibly diverse array of classes and groups. Plus, Hayuta and Siggie are exceptionally warm, empathetic and down to earth. I highly recommend.
