One hot summer afternoon in 2003 I left my first yoga class almost overwhelmed by the awareness that I actually felt good. I noticed that I felt better than I had ever felt at any other point in my life. My muscles were a bit fatigued, and my wrists sore, but I also felt lighter. I had a profound feeling of joy, but I also wanted to cry. So I did. I cried right there in my car. Bawled my eyes out! Then I walked back upstairs to the studio at Wilmington Yoga Center, and I bought a membership. I dedicated myself to months of Hot Ashtanga. I was hooked! Within a short few months, I was physically stronger and had more range of motion than I had had since before my car wreck in 2000. But something else was happening too. Alongside physical injuries and limitations I had at that time, at age 24, I was also suffering from undiagnosed CPTSD, and generally spiritually. I felt hurt, sad, and disconnected. I continued my practice, I became a teacher, and I have found so much healing in the past 20 years.
Yoga and meditation have improved my life on every level!
As my practice progressed through the years, and I realized the full potential of physical healing the practice had to offer, I began to dive deeper into meditative studies and the yoga of the mind. Through those studies, I received certifications in meditation and in hypnotherapy. As a part of my own healing journey and my strong desire to help others find relief from their own various levels of pain, I have created several guided meditations that I share here with you all. I can also create a personalized meditation for you. Please message me for more details.
My best to you, on YOUR healing journey!
