One of the most profound gifts of yoga is that it puts the power back in your hands. At the same time... it teaches you to surrender, trust, and allow the divine to hold you. This balance of empowerment and surrender is what makes yoga so deeply healing. And it’s why I created my The Nourished Woman Membership—to help women like you experience this transformation in a way that’s accessible, supportive, and grounded in real life. Owning Your Power Through Yoga Yoga isn’t just about movement. It’s a practice of reclaiming yourself on every level: ✨ Physically: Coming Home to Your Body Your body holds so much wisdom—it just needs space to be heard. Through breath, awareness, and intentional practices, you can unwind tension, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your innate capacity for balance and healing. This isn’t about achieving a perfect pose; it’s about feeling good in your body again. ✨ Energetically: Tending to Your Sacred Energy Everything is energy—your words, actions, the people you surround yourself with. Yoga helps you recognize and direct your energy intentionally, giving you the tools to protect your peace, set boundaries, and cultivate what truly nourishes you. ✨ Mentally: Untangling from Illusions So often, we get caught in old patterns, limiting beliefs, and stories that keep us stuck. Yoga helps you step back, see clearly, and shift from feeling trapped to feeling free. You become more aware, more present, and more capable of choosing a new way forward. ✨ Spiritually: Trusting That You’re Held When we’re disconnected from spirit, life can feel like an uphill battle. Yoga fills that space—not with something external, but with a deep, unshakable connection to yourself and the divine. You don’t have to hold it all alone. You can exhale. You can trust. Ready to Feel the Difference? These teachings are woven into every part of my The Nourished Woman Membership. ✔️ Short, potent practices (15-30 min) designed to fit your real life ✔️ Gentle, somatic-based yoga that helps you regulate your nervous system ✔️ Guided tools for deeper healing—beyond just movement ✔️ A supportive community of women walking this path alongside you ✔️ A monthly group gathering to keep you inspired and connected If you’re ready to feel lighter, more at home in your body, and more connected to yourself and spirit, this is your invitation. I'm here holding the vision of what's possible for you, and the reality is - no one is coming to save you - except YOU. The sooner you own your power, the sooner you can start feeling more free.

Have you been craving a space to slow down, reconnect, and truly care for yourself? Imagine setting aside three hours where the only thing you have to do is show up—to be guided, nurtured, and deeply supported in your own healing.
That’s exactly what Nourished & Whole Retreat is all about. Join us on Saturday, February 22nd, from 9am-12pm at GIFT Counseling Center in Greenville, SC for a retreat designed to bring you back home to yourself. Whether you come alone, with a friend, or with a partner, this experience is open to women, men, and LGBTQIA+ folks who are ready to embrace self-care in a deeply restorative way. What to Expect: 🌿 A Warm, Welcoming Space – You’ll be greeted with a cozy mug of tea, soft music, and a sense of ease as you step into a space intentionally created for rest and renewal. 🧘 Two Hours of Gentle Yoga, Relaxation & Somatic Healing – Led by a seasoned Yoga Therapist, this practice will help you release stress, reconnect with your body, and drop into blissful rest. 🍽 A Nourishing, Chef-Prepared Meal – A top-notch Chef will serve you a beautifully crafted, healthy meal made with love and intention. Savor each bite, knowing that this time is just for you. 🧘 Meditation & Chanting – To close our time together, we’ll sit in meditation and chanting, re-patterning the nervous system, centering ourselves, and deepening our connection to the present moment. Why Join Us? Because you need time to pause. To be cared for. To feel Nourished & Whole. This retreat isn’t about doing more—it’s about allowing yourself to receive and walk away feeling lighter, refreshed, and deeply supported in a way that ripples out positively impacting you, your kids, partner and community. ✨ Space is limited, and we would love to have you there! ✨ Healing from childhood trauma is a journey that unfolds in layers. Just when you think we’ve processed it all, new insights and emotions can surface, asking for your attention. This is a natural part of the healing process—each time you revisit your experiences, you gain a deeper understanding and the ability to move forward with greater clarity. Healing is Not Linear You will have periods where you feel light and steady. Other days, emotions rise like a storm—unexpected tears, a heavy heart, or a sense of overwhelm. This isn’t a setback; it’s part of how the nervous system releases and integrates past experiences. Trust the process. An Integrative Approach is Best Trauma isn’t just stored in the mind; it lives in the body, shaping how we respond to stress, relationships, and daily life. Healing requires more than just thinking through your past—it requires reconnecting with the body, regulating the nervous system, and creating space for emotional processing. Yoga, breathwork, and somatic healing techniques help support this process by allowing emotions to move through rather than remain stuck. If you find yourself navigating old wounds resurfacing, here are 5 key practices to support your healing: 5 Ways to Support Your Healing Journey ✅ Trust Yourself Healing takes courage, and you are capable of doing hard and meaningful work. It’s okay to ask for support along the way—whether from a therapist, a coach, or a trusted friend. You don’t have to go through it alone. ✅ Tame Shame Shame often tells us we are broken or unworthy, but these feelings are not the truth. Shame is a protective response, and healing begins when we acknowledge it with kindness. Talking to someone who listens without judgment can help shift the narrative. ✅ Observe & Feel Emotions need to be processed, not suppressed. Give yourself permission to acknowledge what happened, how it shaped you, and the impact it had. By witnessing your emotions rather than getting lost in them, you create space for healing. ✅ Regulate Your Nervous System The nervous system needs care during and after emotional processing. Grounding techniques such as deep breathing, gentle movement, or simply bringing awareness to the present moment can help restore a sense of safety. Small practices—like a warm cup of tea, stretching, or stepping outside for fresh air—can make a significant difference in how you feel. ✅ Embody Your Body Trauma lives in the body, and processing it isn’t just about talking—it’s about moving, feeling, and repatterning your nervous system. This is why yoga and somatic practices are so powerful. They help us process and balance what words alone can’t touch. Healing Is a Lifelong Journey Trauma often teaches people to abandon their needs, mold themselves to fit others’ expectations, or tolerate unhealthy situations. But healing teaches the opposite—to honor your emotions, set boundaries, and reclaim your sense of self. Wherever you are in your healing journey, know that progress isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating space for growth, self-compassion, and getting aligned support. Looking for a guide?
