Layla Martin, founder of the VITA™ Institute

Layla Martin has been dubbed the “Headmistress of Pleasure” by Women’s Health and “Sexpert Extraordinaire” by Cosmopolitan. She is also the trainer for Mindvalley’s Neo-Tantra: Discovering Energy Orgasms and Deepening Your Sexual Connection Quest.

After graduating from Stanford, she traveled extensively in Asia to explore authentic tantra, which helped transform her own experiences with sexuality and self-image.

Settling in New York City, Layla began sharing her insights through YouTube and online programs, eventually founding the VITA™ Institute.

She has since certified over 12,000 students and built a vibrant community dedicated to celebrating self-love and personal fulfillment.
