The Person Behind SMKYA The Person
Behind SMKYA

Samaakhya Gajanayake is a certified coach with over 10 years of experience, specialising in a highly personalised approach to physical health, wellbeing and sustainable lifestyle change.

Where the Approach Came From

Her multidisciplinary background allows her to look beyond workouts and meal plans to understand the habits, experiences, motivations and deeper reasons influencing each person's health.

Coaching Built Around the Individual

Through SMKYA, Samaakhya has coached clients across more than 10 countries globally. Her approach recognises that losing weight or looking fit does not automatically mean someone is healthy, fulfilled or progressing towards their wider life goals.

Coaching is therefore built around the individual, supporting physical health, confidence, mindset and a lifestyle that works in real life.

“Losing weight or looking fit does not automatically mean someone is healthy, fulfilled or progressing towards their wider life goals.”
