Do you often feel like you're just treading water when it comes to your life? Is there a feeling of merely surviving when you long to be thriving? Are you looking for greater fulfillment and a stronger connection to a sense of purpose and meaning? If so, I would love to work with you.
Though I specialize in working with women, teenage girls and those who identify as female, I am honored to work with anyone who is looking to step into a stronger sense of themselves through various forms of self-reflection.
Through the use of yoga postures and philosophy, meditation, holistic health principles, consciousness communication skills and self-compassion practices, I strive to create a safe space where you can explore all aspects of yourself. Whether you need to talk it out, move your body, do something creative or be guided in meditation, I invite you to come exactly as you are knowing you'll be accepted and supported. By sharing the tools, skills and techniques that have so greatly benefited my own life, I hope to be a guide helping you live a more fulfilling life with increased ease, self-awareness and equanimity.
My focus:
Meditation & Mindfulness Instruction and Coaching:
Whether seated, standing, or walking, meditation can be a powerful tool enhancing clarity and self-awareness. Mindfulness often refers to the practices we can incorporate into our daily lives from eating to speaking to noticing the sounds and colors around us. Together we can explore what kinds of meditation best serve you and create mindfulness exercises to increase your appreciation of everyday life.
Holistic Health Guidance:
Holistic health is just that - "whole". Holistic health guidance incorporates everything from how to get a better night's sleep, to breathing exercises, to finding new ways to play and add some frivolity and fun to your life. It starts with viewing yourself as whole and simply in need of some adjustments to create better balance and integrity within your system, instead of the belief that you’re a broken being.
Integrative Yoga Therapy:
Yoga is so much more than being flexible and bending yourself into various positions. Yoga is an ancient philosophy that includes breathwork, concentration practices, movement and meditation. Touching your toes is not required! Looking at your body and life through the lens of these ancient practices, we can create a program that serves you and your physical, mental and emotional needs.
Self-Compassion Practices:
Inspired largely by the work of Kristin Neff, self-compassion practices are the radical act of extending the same kindness and care to yourself as you would a dear friend.
Conscious Communication and Boundaries Skills:
Talking and communicating are not synonymous. Learning how to clearly communicate what you need, feel and think, taking responsibility for what is yours and being open to deeply listening to others without judgment or an agenda takes practice. Together we can explore ways to increase both your communication and listening skills.
