MEET Laila Aitken Ali, also known as The Split Coach.

She is a divorce doula to many, and I support people reset, reclaim and rebirth before, during and after divorce.

I am a fellow divorcée and the co-founder of Split.fyi. Split.fyi is a virtual kindred community for people to turn to when they find themselves facing a very difficult time in their lives. Split.fyi is the new place to start a new chapter.

I speak from experience. After my husband asked for a divorce while expecting our first child, I felt ashamed and blamed myself. I felt like I didn’t belong. It took strength and courage to look past my beliefs around marriage and for me to start believing in myself again. It was through that pain that realized who I was. I was greater than the situation in my life and that I was more important than the stigmas around divorce.

After spending a decade, trapped inside the family law system, I emerged with my masters in divorce!  Trust me, there were times when I thought the experience would break me, but I came out stronger than ever and with a newfound purpose to help others who are going through the same thing.
