Hi I'm Arrah, Founder & CEO of Higher State Consulting.  I'm also a Certified Meditation Teacher & Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT).  

I have spent many years in corporate America and was able to attain a great deal of success.  Unfortunately, early in my career I didn't have the tools to manage my mindset and physiological states.  I only knew one way to be, and that was wide open, all in.  Which is a burnout recipe. I've been there with mental tapes playing things like: "What am I doing here?  I can't go on like this for the rest of my life."

Then, I truly skilled teacher explain the art of meditation to me.  It was life altering for me.  When I reentered my corporate life after learning and using these skills on a daily basis, I was wildly more successful plus, I was calm.  I was managing more work at a higher quality and able to quietly walk away at the end of the day.  I was more focused and productive with my time during the day and more plugged in after hours.  

When I work with clients, no matter the type of engagement or goals, I always include mindfulness as part of the conversation.  If you want to level up but you just can't seem to get it done, getting your mind right is step 1.  Learning to control the fluctuations of your mind is a life skill that has to be taught.  I spent to much time trying to force change into my life and failing, and then following up with the terrible self talk for the failure.  I can help you break out of that pattern and get focused on where you want to go. 

So, now everything has come full circle with Higher State Consulting.  If you want to be a better sales person, a better manager, a better spouse, a better parent and just a better human being, then you have to work on getting into a Higher State of mind.  

Success is a natural result of improving your internal state. 

Hello, I’m Arely!

 I am passionate about the transformative practices of meditation and mindfulness. Drawing on wisdom from different traditions, including Kundalini, I guide classes that center on breath, gratitude, and serenity. With several 200-hour Yoga trainings and Reiki Level I completed, and currently working toward my 500-hour certification, I bring a holistic approach that nourishes both body and spirit.

Teaching is one of my greatest joys. I love creating spaces where people feel supported, grounded, and inspired to explore their own inner journey. I believe that challenges hold hidden opportunities, and I find meaning in helping others discover self-love, resilience, and a deeper sense of purpose through meditation and mindful awareness. My hope is that each class becomes a gentle reminder that peace and clarity already live within you.

Beyond teaching, I treasure simple joys: long walks and cuddles with my 2 sweet rescued schnauzers, afternoons in museums, the beauty of cinema, and the quiet care of tending to my plants. Originally from Mexico, I enjoyed two decades in Louisiana before making Houston my home, and I carry those experiences into the warmth, richness, and openness of my practice.
