My personal journey to 'Move Freely' began ten years ago. I was completely disconnected from my physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies as a result of trauma. Yoga, massage, and other forms of bodywork were more than self-care; to describe them as self-care would not do them justice. These practices were my pathway to greater freedom.

I started my yoga journey in 2011 as a client at a therapeutic office, Turning Point Rape Crisis Center. A group of five of us would pile into a warm, dim lit room once a week and simply move our bodies in conjunction with our breath. The teacher held space for us in a way that allowed tears to be shed and hearts to heal. We learned how to once again BE in our bodies. There was no conceptualizing, just moving freely. And that's what birthed my own personal practice that continued to expand for years, and now has brought me to this place of sharing with others.  

That disconnect is something I see in a lot of people today. We all have our own trauma's, stressors, and life crisis' that disconnect us from our 'self'. Through movement and breath we can unlock our personal power. We are empowered when we move. We lighten the load of our burdens through mindfulness. We heal through our awareness of the breathe in the present moment. 

​

My healing journey inspired me to become a Yoga Teacher through Soul Motivation Yoga School directed by Joseph Stingley ERYT 500 in 2017. As I continued on the path of my own healing journey I was brought to receive hands-on bodywork which led to truly transformative and powerful effects. After much investment in my own "work", I proceeding with getting certified as a Stretch Therapist, Massage Therapist, Myofascial Release Therapist (John F T Barnes methods), and am continuing education in Trauma Informed Yoga, Somatics, and Energy Work. 

  I have learned through the bodywork, through the mindful movement, the yoga, the meditations, the journaling, the somatic exercises... all of it, how to actually FEEL and BE IN joy and grief without wanting to numb or "leave" this earthly experience. I have been able to enter into true presence. The freedom I speak about personally experiencing and the mission I share is the FREEDOM TO BE AND LOVE ourselves in the deepest way. 

The work I do today feels a lot less like work, and more like empowered living. 

I would love for you to join me on this never ending way to live, to be, and to MOVE FREELY.
