Yoga & Prayer Circle

Service Description

Signature Story: In 2012 my daughter was born with a genetic lung disease called Cystic Fibrosis. The first five years of her life were filled with doctor’s visits, hospital stays, medications, home treatments and therapies to keep her healthy and safe. During this time, my nervous system went into hyper-vigilance, and I experienced full blown PTSD. However, it wasn’t really “post” because the stress and trauma I was experiencing was chronic. Physically, mentally and spiritually, I was in crisis and it felt as if I was living in the underworld all the time. It was during this descent that I started to cultivate a deep connection to the earth, to the goddess, to the darkness, to the shadow and to all the discarded parts of myself. Through the transformational practices of yoga, dance, depth psychology, healthy eating, meditation and psychedelics I climbed back into the world with a medicine bag full of tools to support those struggling with trauma to find healing. Caregivers of special needs children can suffer from physical, mental and emotional stress which can often lead to Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) or, more likely, Complex PTSD which is caused by sustained, or repeated traumas. I understand these challenges and I want to support parents and caregivers to land on the other side of trauma into “the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible”, to quote one of my teachers, Charles Eisenstein. In my classes we move our bodies to unlock trapped emotions, trauma and pain and we dive into the darkness of our emotions to alchemize and transform our pain into the light. Tears are welcome. Joy is welcome. ALL of YOU is welcome. We end the class with the opportunity to ask for prayers and a silent meditation to send healing energy to our loved ones in need. Join a community of support and find your way back to wholeness. The stronger you are, the more you have the capacity to be there for your loved ones. Give yourself the gift of self-care and nourishment. Wednesday mornings 10 am – 11 am EST on Zoom By donation I also offer a free 15-min consultations to discuss how we can work together 1:1 on your healing journey.
