Every healing journey begins with a single, powerful decision…. to feel safety in your body again.

Through somatic movement and trauma-informed yoga, we gently rebuild that sense of safety, one breath and one mindful moment at a time.

You are worthy of peace, safety, and connection. 💛

✨ “I don’t teach yoga…I welcome people back to their bodies.” ✨

When the vagus nerve is affected by chronic stress or trauma, our natural sense of safety can become disrupted.

We start living more in our heads — overthinking, anxious, and disconnected — and less in our bodies, where calm and presence live.

Gentle movement, mindful breathing, and grounding practices help stimulate the vagus nerve and restore that inner sense of balance.

For me yoga is about coming home to yourself. 🫶🏻💜✨

I support you and guide you through co-regulated breathing before starting the session to help bring a sense of grounding.

Stress & anxiety relief.

Resetting the nervous system, guiding it out of fight–flight–freeze into rest & restore.

My cousin-in-law fought breast cancer with so much courage. One thing that always stayed with me was how her doctor in Mexico focused on the whole person—he had her working on emotional healing, following an alkaline diet, and even doing laughter yoga to stimulate the vagus nerve.

He believed (and I do too) that the body can’t fully heal when the heart is carrying pain or the nervous system is stuck in survival.

That changed how I see healing.

Grief, stress, and trauma don’t just disappear—they live in the body until we create safety, move, breathe, feel, and release. Nourishing food, emotional processing, somatic movement, breath, and spiritual connection… they all matter.

This is why I offer 1:1 spiritual & somatic healing sessions. 💫

If your body is tired of carrying it all, I’d love to support you. 💜

Women living with complex PTSD from domestic abuse are not ‘overreacting’—they are carrying trauma in their nervous system.
Talk therapy is powerful, but trauma also lives in the body. Somatic movement, breathwork, and vagus nerve stimulation help us reach the places words cannot.

I know this not just in theory, but through lived experience. While teaching yoga in a jail setting and working directly with survivors of domestic abuse, I witnessed how these practices soften hypervigilance, restore breath, and help women reconnect to safety inside their own bodies. I’ve seen walls come down, tears release, and nervous systems finally exhale.

This is why I teach, share, and speak: because survivors deserve compassion, true nervous system healing, and a path back home to themselves. 💜💫

✨ Yoga, Breath Work & Mindfulness for Kids = Lifelong Tools ✨✅

Kids today carry so much school pressure, social stress, and constant stimulation. Practices like yoga, breath work, mindfulness, and somatic movement give them something powerful:

✨ A way to calm their nervous system

✨ A way to release pent-up emotions through movement

✨ A way to feel safe in their bodies

✨ A way to build focus, confidence, and resilience

When children slow down, breathe deeply, and move intentionally, they learn how to:

✨Manage big feelings
✨Shift out of stress or “freeze”
✨Notice what their body needs
✨Connect with themselves and others in a peaceful way

This isn’t just stretching—
It’s nervous system regulation.
It’s emotional intelligence.
It’s mental health care disguised as play and rest.

The earlier we teach kids these tools, the more empowered and grounded they’ll be as they grow. 💫

Let’s raise a generation that knows how to pause, breathe, and come home to themselves.

If you want to change the world, go home and love your family. It all begins with each breath we take. 💚

To schedule a one to one coregulation parent/ child class definitely reach out. These classes are offered online or in person.
