I am so happy to welcome Jones into our Sanctuary community. ✨

Kiannah is a licensed massage therapist with a deeply intuitive touch and a voice that can open hearts. She’ll be offering bodywork, sound healing, and her beautiful, ongoing community Song Circles here.

If you’ve ever been in a room where Kiannah is singing, you know - it’s not just music. It’s remembrance. It’s connection. It’s medicine.

I’m so grateful she’s here. ❤️

One year ago today, I opened the doors to Sanctuary by the Sea for the first time.

A small group of us gathered inside - the paint was still drying, the rooms weren’t fully set up, there was no “system” yet. It was just heart, vision, and the hope that we could create a place where people could breathe again.

This year has been full.
Full of beauty, full of work, full of healing, full of learning, full of responsibility, full of challenge and full of devotion.

Many of you have come here to:
• rest
• rebuild
• grieve
• reconnect with your body
• remember your strength
• find a place that feels safe

And this space has held all of it.

What I want to share today is simple and real:

If Sanctuary has supported you - if you want it to continue - now is the time to become a member.

Membership is what keeps the doors open.
Not drop-ins. Not one-off classes.
Membership is what allows this space to be here for the long run.

There are different membership levels so you can choose what works for you.

If you’ve been thinking about joining, coming back, or deepening your connection here - just send me a message or click the link in our bio.

I’m proud of what we have built.
And I want to keep going.
Together.

🤍❤️🌊

Sometimes I look at these photos and remember the exact feeling in my chest from that moment - the steadiness, the quiet knowing, the this is what I am here for.

For almost 30 years I’ve been in the work of caring for others - in hospitals, nursing homes, hospice organizations, community spaces, yoga studios, living rooms, and quiet sacred moments at bedside. Massage therapy, yoga therapy, Ayurveda, somatics… I’ve walked these paths because I needed them too.
Because I know what it is to love helping… and to also feel tired from helping.

And I know you do too.

You don’t want to burn out.
You don’t want to run on empty.
You want to serve from a place that’s rooted, wise, and replenishing - for you and the people you care for.

This is why I teach.
This is why I build community around this work.

If you’re feeling that pull to deepen your skill - to move from “I hope this helps” to I know how to support healing in the body, nervous system, and spirit - I’m here.
Not to overwhelm you.
Not to push you harder.
But to show you what it looks like to serve with mastery, clarity, and a heart that stays open.

This is massage + yoga therapy education that feels like home in the body.
A path of devotion, not depletion.

If you’re feeling that whisper - come closer.

Send a message.

Let’s talk about your next step.

Your work matters.
And you deserve to feel well while offering it. 🤍

Posted • 📖 Effectiveness of Yoga on Depression and Anxiety in People with Chronic Primary Pain: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

A meta-analysis of six trials involving 382 participants found that yoga reduced depression, anxiety, and pain while improving quality of life for people with chronic primary pain, with no major adverse effects reported. Although the overall evidence quality ranged from low to very low, findings suggest that yoga may be a valuable nonpharmacological approach to support both physical and emotional well-being alongside standard medical care.

I can hardly put into words the love and joy that bloom in these song circles with the luminous . My heart is overflowing with gratitude.

In this circle, something magical happened - our young sons, ten and under, spoke with such courage, tenderness, and grace. Their voices reminded us why we mother the way we do… why we keep showing up with open hearts in this wild, beautiful, challenging world.

Oh Divine Mother, beloved Earth - teach us to live in love, in sacred reciprocity with all of life.

On this Indigenous Peoples’ Day, may we return to our essence … the song that lives in every one of us.
Join our next circle - November 13th. Link in bio.

My little guy is recovering from a concussion he sustained while playing football and it’s been a privilege to see him work with Meg Borbely, the Pediatric physical therapist at our Sanctuary. She makes it fun, engaging, deeply therapeutic, and I’m so grateful and honored that she’s here and that my son gets to benefit from her wisdom and skill. 💗🙏

🫀 Yoga Teachers - ready to fall in love with anatomy again?
Come take a deep dive with me into the living body - anatomy and biomechanics through the eyes of yoga therapy.
This 4-part in-person series in Point Pleasant, NJ will help you see and feel movement in a whole new way - not as separate parts or memorized muscles, but as intelligent, breathing systems of relationship and rhythm.
I’ve spent nearly two decades teaching yoga therapy, Ayurveda, and somatics to healthcare providers, massage therapists, and teachers across the country. My approach blends ancient wisdom with modern science - think less “textbook anatomy” and more “aha moments that change how you teach forever.”
✨ You’ll learn to:
- See your students’ patterns and help them move with less pain and more ease
- Understand the nervous system’s role in posture and flexibility
- Integrate biomechanics and breath for more accessible, embodied classes
- Understand fascia as a biodynamic, physoelectric, magical web that is so much more than connective tissue.

Payment plans are available -and space is limited to keep it personal and hands-on.

Yoga Therapy invites a shift from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What is my body trying to tell me?”
When we meet our body with compassion and curiosity, the healing process begins.
