In a country plagued by Western Medicine as means to cure sickness, we are teaching multi generational healing and wellness techniques to individuals in order for them to take their health into their hands and be proactive about healing. Step into an age old healing system with a modern twist... this is Modern Alchemy!

"There is so much to share about The Laya Center and how they have helped me over the past year better manage a chronic pain condition. From the initial consultation where Toyia Mays truly listened to my experiences and goals, to the various modalities available to help me in the journey, and the caring team at Laya have all played a part in drastically improving my ‘whole’ person. If you have never experienced Laya Center, I recommend it highly as a part of your overall wellness strategy.

Hi, I’m Toyia A. Mays


Our Founder, dubbed The Herban Myth, has spent years developing a system that embodies the medicine of the first people and syncing it seamlessly to modern integrative technology. Through her studies she has found a correlation with African Yoruba healing, the 7 Energy Centers, Chinese medicine and Ayurveda. The wellness center employs a modern way of implementing them into our lives. The Genees System™ is born. In addition to the therapies that are given at The Laya Center in KCMO, her remedies are made and distributed through Herban Brand to clients using the system as the nucleus of her wellness plans.
