Crown Chakra

Ritual

Daily aware practices that tune you to the five elements, the four directions, Mother Nature, and the divine. We are ritual based beings. Let us assess your daily life and replace unconscious rituals with conscious rituals. How are you going about your day? What do you do first thing when you wake up? Let us observe and correct behaviors that are no longer serving you.

Third Eye Chakra

Meditation

Silent awareness to tune in with nature and your intuition. The implementation of practices that enable you to hear the call in the right direction without resistance is vital. Meditation will heal and create balance in the nervous system, as well as, creating new neuron and synapse connections within the brain. Meditation releases hormones that bring the body to its natural state of bliss and harmony as well as activating the vagus nerve, decreasing stress and anxiety.

Throat Chakra

Presence

Be aware of your thoughts, words, and actions. Are you creating your circumstances? Slow down and check in. Return to this moment, here and now. Receive practices and techniques for staying present.

Heart Chakra

Love

Realize what resides within. This includes healing oneself and all situations surrounding self healing and relations. Having uplifting discussions and practices to remember and honor your own essential nature before the conditioning of cultural and societal impacts.

Solar Plexus Chakra

Practice

Personal practices are given based on life circumstance, current time-period in your life, current relations, specific intentions you are calling in, and specific diagnoses that require holistic healing. Practices include breathing techniques, mantras, kriyas (techniques that work to shift energy, create expansion and an experience of liberation from what is holding you back) that release bio-cellular memory, hatha yoga to distribute new prana (energy), grounding the energy in the body, and dance or freedom movement.

Sacral Chakra

Touch

Reconnect with our essential nature. This may mean getting outside, touching nature, hugging a tree or another human, jumping into natural waters, and healing through sensation. These bodies need to stay connected to nature and one another. Mother Earth vibrates a certain frequency and when we tune in with this, we return to our truth.

Root Chakra

Medicine

Medicine is part of healing. Whether it is the food you are consuming, medicine in a pill form, Chinese Medicine, or Chemo… it is all medicine. All aspects are relevant. We will assess your current medicinal regimen and how to decrease side effects and come up with ways to compliment what you are already doing. Allopathic Medicine and Traditional Eastern modalities need to merge to have a holistic approach to healing. You can stay on your medicine, let us refine your lifestyle and work together to relieve symptoms, and the possibility of needing the medication may fall away. Maybe it is as simple as an alteration in eating habits! Let us be active in this healing process together.

Yoga came into my life, and as much as I resisted being open to it, it completely transformed me. Yoga became my medicine. The hatha opened me up to the idea of slowing down and breathing and the breathwork, meditation, and kriyas healed a traumatic brain injury by rewiring my brain on a neuron synapse-connection level as well as healing emotional issues like anxiety and depression and releasing biocellular memory of past traumas and emotional experiences. The practices of freedom movement and partner work broke down my barriers of connection and isolation, shame, guilt, and self-sabotage, allowing for my true Self to shine.

Essentially, life brought me to a place of complete, raw, truth and surrender and my willingness to continue allowed yoga, meditation, medicine, and wisdom to transform my life and my being. I came to India in a beautifully vulnerable space to study with Vedic and Himalayan Master, Anand Mehrotra, and soon after, kept returning to this place and practice that had brought me to the ultimate state of vitality, awareness, and wellbeing.

I learned how to combine these 7 aspects of life in order to live to my fullest potential, all the time. I learned how energy works, how it affects you and all those you interact with including plants, spaces, and objects. I learned how each practice can be used at the bedside and with patients and families, and how it can be integrated with medicine and eventually lead to not needing or requiring the medication. The knowledge and wisdom from the East merged with my previous knowledge in the acute medical field and has lead me to this beautiful healing modality that can be used for all beings to live a more free and united; integrated life.
