Meet the Founder

Welcome to Rainbow Academy NYC!

I’m Canan Aydoğdu — Integrative Transformational Coach, Kundalini Yoga & Meditation Instructor, and Fashion Designer.

For over six years, I have guided individuals through deep transformational coaching focused on self-awareness, emotional resilience, nervous system regulation, and conscious life creation. My work integrates inner-self exploration, shadow work, somatic awareness, and spiritual practices to support sustainable personal growth and empowered self-leadership.

My background includes ICF-approved coaching studies and continued education in psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy, including programs offered through Columbia and Harvard. These studies inform my integrative, trauma-informed coaching approach.

As a 3HO-approved Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Instructor, trained under Gurmukh at Golden Bridge NYC, I have practiced for over fourteen years. My work also extends to shamanic journeys and transformational leadership experiences in New York and at Burning Man.

At Rainbow Academy, I offer personalized coaching sessions and workshops integrating inner-self exploration, trauma-informed practices, EFT-based techniques, NLP tools, the Sedona Method, Creative Visioning, Kundalini meditation, and shamanic rituals. These experiences are designed to cultivate clarity, emotional regulation, alignment, and authentic empowerment.

My diverse background also includes 20 years in Fashion Design, with education from F.I.T. in New York and LaSalle International Academy in Istanbul. This creative foundation enriches my work, blending artistry with spiritual and transformational practice.

After living in Turkey and England, I have called New York home for the past 13 years. The experiences and lessons of my journey have shaped me into the woman I once dreamed of becoming — and I am passionate about helping others reclaim their power and consciously create the life they desire.
