Hello!

DR. ALIA DATOO, PhD Metaphysics

Energy Alchemist | Spiritual Entrepreneur | Activator

A Legacy of Transformation

Long before I could name it, I felt an undeniable connection to the unseen forces flowing through life. Energies that speak in vibration rather than words, guiding us back into alignment with our deepest truth and highest purpose.

Over the years, I have carried many titles: healer, teacher, mentor, leader, writer, hiker, and founder of Women Who Hike Africa. I have walked the path of entrepreneur, alchemist, and guide. Yet beyond every role, I remain what I have always been: a seeker, a catalyst, and an activator.

My journey has not been linear. I tried to fit into roles that felt too small for the expansiveness of my spirit. I questioned my purpose, chased fleeting definitions of success, and met countless moments of resistance and redirection. What appeared as detours were, in truth, initiations. Each challenge honed my path toward what I now embody: a living invitation for others to awaken, to remember, and to rise into the life they were always meant to live.

The Moment That Defined my Purpose.

The turning point came when I finally surrendered to the pull of my higher calling. Through years of self-inquiry, initiations in ancient wisdom traditions, and study of metaphysical sciences, a clear vision emerged.

That vision became S.H.I.F.T. a healing framework designed not as another “modality,” but as a paradigm.

Self – Awakening the inner healer, recognizing that everything begins within.
Holistic – Honoring all dimensions of being: body, mind, energy, and spirit.
Intuitive – Trusting the wisdom that moves through us when we surrender.
Freedom – Releasing the patterns, blocks, and stories that bind us.
Transformation – Stepping into a new way of being that radiates into every part of life.

Through S.H.I.F.T., clients don’t just heal symptoms; they re-align their lives. The result is not temporary change, but lasting embodiment—an activation point for true transformation.

My Affinity with Mountains

My healing journey has always been interwoven with the mountains. In 2017, I founded Women Who Hike Africa, a movement created to reconnect individuals with the outdoors, not only as an act of adventure, but as a practice of healing, empowerment, and belonging.

What began as a hiking community quickly evolved into outdoor retreats and therapeutic immersions where nature itself became medicine. The mountains taught me resilience, rhythm, and reverence, and those lessons became the foundation of my leadership and my work.

This path led me into deeper global collaborations and research. I am proudly associated with the United Nations FAO Mountain Partnership and continue to contribute to advocacy and research on gender, ecology, and sustainable development in highland regions.

I am also the Co-founder of the Mountain Women of the World Network, an alliance uniting women leaders across eight countries to share stories, strategies, and resilience from mountain communities worldwide. Through this initiative, we amplify the voices of women whose knowledge, strength, and connection to nature are vital for shaping sustainable futures.

This work has been presented at the South African Mountain Conference (SAMC), and I am currently co-authoring an academic publication with the University of the Free State on transformative resilience and gendered power in mountain landscapes.

For me, nature is not separate from healing. It is the first medicine. Every retreat and ceremony I lead is, in many ways, an offering back to the Earth.

My Legacy of Light

Over the past decade, I have traveled the world, touching lives through sacred ceremonies, powerful workshops, and transformational retreats. Whether working one-on-one with a client or leading a group of light leaders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries, my intention has always been the same: to guide others in remembering their divine essence.

Some of my proudest moments include:

Guiding individuals to heal deeply rooted wounds that have held them back for years.
Mentoring emerging healers and leaders to step boldly into their roles as catalysts for change.
Leading transformational experiences that ripple through lives, businesses, and communities.

I’ve been called many things—a Healer, an Alchemist, a Guide, a Mystic—but above all, I am a catalyst for global transformation. My work doesn’t just heal; it empowers.
