Our mental health is a crucial part of our overall health and in this program, you’ll slowly learn techniques on how to support your own mental health, which then leads to better physical health.
I've worked as a massage therapist since 2003 and received my yoga teacher certification in 2014. I began to study and tap into the 7 main energy chakras along the spinal column and soon realized the connection these energy centers have with who we are, how we feel and how they aid in the healing process. I use them as a guide to listen to the needs of not only my clients’ physical body, but also the mental and emotional centers, resulting in healing the whole person. With the help of essential oils, gemstones and intuitive touch, I've developed my own style of massage I've named "Third Eye Healing."
During these “Third Eye Healing” sessions, I was blown away with the amount of people who were suffering from childhood (and adult) acute and complex traumas such as physical, sexual and verbal abuse. I decided I needed more training on how to better facilitate and how to be there for my clients during their time of healing. I also needed a deeper understanding of what was going on in their psyche. So, I enrolled in a six-month online training called Yoga. Psyche. Soul. taught by Ashley Turner, a licensed psychotherapist and yoga-meditation teacher for over 20 years.
I’m not a Psychologist but I’ve been trained on how to be your support and how to guide you through your healing process using the practices of self inquiry, yoga and meditation. I recommend seeking additional help from a Licensed Counselor or Psychologist if you’re feeling severe turmoil such as self-harm, suicidal thoughts or physical abuse toward your loved ones.
Yoga isn’t just about stretching and the physical poses you typically see portrayed in mainstream media. It’s also a mental practice or discipline (disciple of self.) Yoga helps us connect deeper with Self and your version of ‘God’ by being present to your breath and the sensations you feel in the physical body.
This program will require us to meet LIVE OR via ZOOM or Face-time, once a week -12 sessions, for 60 minutes, for the next three months. You’re welcome to pick the days and times that work best for you. This program also requires you to do deep inner work, digging into your past traumas. So, it’s important to understand that in this healing process it may ‘’get worse’’ for you emotionally before it will “get better.”
The total investment for this program is $480.00. (Payment plans available upon request.)
