Above Average Wellness

02/25/2026

We’re doing a whole 90-minute Yin class where the only pose is Legs Up the Wall.

If you’ve never done it, it’s exactly what it sounds like. You lie down and rest your legs up the wall, using props to get comfortable. We’ll move through a few variations so you can find the version that actually feels good in your body.

This is a great class if you:
- have tired legs or feet
- sit or stand a lot
- carry tension in your low back
- feel stressed, wired, or run down
- need a calm night that does not require effort

All bodies and all levels welcome. No Yin experience needed. Mats and props are provided.

Come rest. You do not need to be flexible. You just need to show up.

Origin Story

It has been a long time since I have told the story of how/why Above Average Wellness came to be. Actually, I am not sure that I have ever fully told it and I am ready.

I am going to be sharing posts over the next few weeks talking about everything that has transpired to get us to where we are today.

I am starting with this photo from our wedding November 12, 2011, because the night before, was when things really started with me in business.

My entrepreneur journey started way before that, with a tiny nail salon at the age of 16 but I don't think you need me to go that far back... so here we go.

It was November 11, 2011. I was staying at my parents house, as you sometimes do the night before your wedding. We were struggling financially and that night before I went to bed I prayed. "God, the Universe, whoever you are out there, if this is what I am meant to be doing, I need a sign, I need it to work, I need to be able to make a living, and I cried myself to sleep, hoping that my prayers would be heard.

At the time, I only had my Ideal Protein business and I was operating in a tiny room inside salon, actually it wasn't even a room, it was a cubical. The owner of the business was so kind to help me our and support me, but I knew if it was going to work, I needed something more.

The next morning, we had our hair appointments at that Salon... I saw clients with curlers in my hair... on the morning of my wedding, I think that was the action that really had the universe know that I meant business.

More coming soon.....

So many things, in less then 10 min

02/21/2026

Unburdened starts tomorrow morning, and 18 women have already said yes.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, carrying the invisible load, and doing so much but not really feeling your life, this is your last chance to join us before we begin.

Unburdened is a Sunday Morning Sanctuary on Zoom. Each week is a 30 to 40 minute conversation, followed by a practice like meditation or Yoga Nidra so you can actually set things down in your body, not just think about it. This is nourishment for you and your soul.

If you keep saying yes when you mean no, feel guilty when you rest, overthink everything, carry resentment you don’t want to feel, or hold tension in your jaw, chest, shoulders, or hips, you will feel so held in this space.

4 weeks on Zoom, Sundays at 10am
Feb 22 to March 15
