Jamiyla L. Ferguson, also known artistically as Layla, is the CEO, founder, and director of Poem Stellium — an online publication that blends creative writing, mental health, narrative art, and astrology into a healing and expressive platform for the collective. A writer, intuitive guide, and creative soul, Jamiyla is devoted to helping others reconnect with themselves through truth, art, and the stars.
Jamiyla is a multidisciplinary creative whose work sits at the intersection of art, healing, and intuitive insight. She brings together psychological understanding and spiritual depth through her work as a relationship coach, relationship astrologer, and seasoned tarot reader — a practice she has refined for nearly a decade. Through writing, teaching, and intuitive guidance, Jamiyla supports others in navigating emotional landscapes with clarity, compassion, and self-awareness.
As an author, she has written two impactful works — Trauma and Dissociation and The Year I Sat Still — both of which explore inner worlds, emotional healing, and the lived realities of transformation. Her poetry and songs, shared under the name Layla, are intimate and resonant, offering language to feelings that are often difficult to articulate.
Jamiyla is also a photographer, capturing quiet, soulful moments that reflect her inner world and creative sensibility. Her visual work is rooted in presence and storytelling, honouring the beauty found in ordinary, tender, and emotionally charged moments. Each image is approached as a reflection — of truth, emotion, and lived experience.
At her core, Jamiyla is a multidimensional creator — a poet, singer-songwriter, spiritual guide, visual storyteller, and space-holder for authenticity and growth. Her work invites reflection, emotional honesty, and conscious evolution.
THE JOURNEY DEEPER
Jamiyla’s relationship with words began in childhood, where writing came naturally and intuitively. Over time, personal experiences with trauma deepened that connection, transforming writing into a means of processing, understanding, and healing. What began as expression became a powerful tool for integration and meaning-making.
This healing relationship with language led her to pursue creative writing more intentionally, particularly poetry and other soul-led forms that reflect both personal truth and collective experience.
A self-taught astrologer, Jamiyla’s fascination with the cosmos began as curiosity and evolved into devoted study. What started with birth charts grew into an ongoing exploration of planetary symbolism and spiritual insight. Tarot followed — first as a personal practice, then as a channel through which she could support others in receiving guidance, clarity, and perspective.
Alongside her creative and spiritual work, Jamiyla holds a Bachelor of Arts in Counselling Integrative Therapy. This grounding in psychology allows her to approach guidance holistically — blending emotional literacy, intuitive awareness, and ethical care.
“As a child, I was always drawn to gazing out of the window and staring at the stars,” she reflects. “It felt instinctive — as though it was meant to be. I even read my horoscope religiously in the newspapers.”
For Jamiyla, creative expression is not simply a craft — it is a calling. She believes words, images, and emotional truth have the power to heal, connect, and awaken. Whether through writing, photography, or guidance, her intention remains the same: to offer resonance, insight, and moments of clarity that support growth and self-understanding.
