Kaia hails from a lineage of southern women writers and journalists, and she was destined to carry on the tradition. Her great-grandmother, Nonni, ran a small newspaper in Earl, Arkansas in the late 1800’s. Kaia met author Tom Robbins on the island of Maui at the home of Dr. John Lilly, and they’ve been pen pals for over 25 years. She was mentored by late comedian Garry Shandling, with whom she bonded over Zen, camping, jokes, and basketball.
“Kaia is a genius.” ~ Garry Shandling

Soon she will offer courses and a flagship coaching program.
“The world needs the minds of womxn, the ideas of womxn, the connection of womxn, fire of womxn.”~ Kaia
A movie nerd from childhood, Kaia has worked in the film business for decades. After directing The Magique Bazaar, California’s largest touring magic show, she realized that the director’s chair was her intended throne. She was a development executive on the feature films JUST FRIENDS, PEACEFUL WARRIOR and THE GOOD NIGHT. Then as a digital marketing consultant, she supervised the ground-breaking online self-distribution of several profitable docu-series.
She’s currently directing her first feature documentary Chalice: Wise Women Rise.

Nature + Travel = Happiness. As a teenager Kaia founded the youth division of the Humane Society of the United States, and spoke at the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit. She works to protect the ocean and playful creatures she surfs with. A California girl at heart she can be found most days at her desk or offshore with the sea tangled in her hair. She leads writer retreats to surf and swim with wild dolphins.
