Yogi
Welcome to “I Rise”! I am so excited to get to know you, here is a little about me: I have been practicing the 8 limbs of Yoga for 10+ years now. During that time I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Special Education from the University of Nevada, Reno, and a Minor in Counseling, specializing in addiction prevention and treatment. During my formal schooling I learned a great deal about psychology, how the mind works, and most importantly: what holds us back, what makes us thrive, and how do we bridge the gap for those who yearn to rise?
During this time I was also blessed with a child, and got to experience the true birth of an individual. I didn’t know it then, but my schooling offered me a solid foundation in trusting and guiding this bright soul. I was driven to seek out as much as I could in the area of conception and birth of a new being. Through this journey, I became a Birth Doula. I was able to see new ways of teaching my clients how to find and honor their unique emotional and physical needs.
I find the 8 Limbs of Yoga to be a valuable tool in unearthing what makes us feel whole, valued, and joyous. So I took the plunge and obtained my Meditation cert from Yogamu, and Yoga certification along with a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program development and facilitator certification!
At 39 years young, I decided my education had truly come full circle. It warms my heart to see how everything is connected. How we raise our children, how we were raised as children, and how we raise ourselves even further. Now, I seek to connect with individuals, and learn their unique lives and perspectives, to broaden my understanding of the human experience.
You may know me from MeetUp! I have hosted MeetUps for over 7 years. I love watching people find their “Tribe”, build support systems, and find their own unique way to thrive. I love working with a diverse population! People are like library books, and diversity is incredibly interesting and beautiful. I also use the meetup platform to share my classes and services.
If you are looking to untangle the contrast in your life, to set free your higher self and rise, I encourage you to join one of my classes or book a service with me. I look forward to working with you!
Namaste
