EMPOWERMENT VISIONARY
EMBODYING YOGA . Empowering YOU.
I serve those with complex trauma to help them discover new navigational coping tools and empower them to be an active participant in their story of recovery. Our bodies are faithful partners carrying the load life presents us regardless of difficulty or joy. I believe each one of us already possesses the intrinsic knowledge and capability to heal even the most devastating of wounds within us. Yoga is the tool that unlocks this potential. It is much more than a physical practice, it is a philosophy. My mission in to make the ancient wisdom of yoga accessible in the modern world to help connect one mind, body, and soul at a time.
