It also helps them develop an intimate relationship with the natural world that surrounds them. Yoga brings that marvelous inner light that all children have to the surface.

Types of Events:
Vinyasa is one of the most popular contemporary styes of yoga which is also called flow yoga because of the smooth way that the poses run together.
Vinyasa Flow Yoga is a dynamic sequence of poses that involves synchronizing the breath with a continuous flow of postures. The flow doesn’t necessarily have to be a fast flow. We always take the class at the pace of the individual. Vinyasa has both many physical and mental benefits.
Yoga is for all levels from basic beginner to advanced.
Restorative yoga is a practice that is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive stretching. Lots of props, rather than your muscles, are used to support your body as you relax deeply into the pose. We do long holds in theses relaxing postures and use the breath to help us relax even deeper.

Prenatal yoga can help you prepare for labor and promote your baby’s health as well as help you relax and stay fit during your pregnancy.
I have taught many clients throughout their pregnancies, all who have found yoga to be helpful both during their pregnancy and their labor.
Prenatal yoga can:
Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair.
These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions.
Yoga Nidra is also known as, “yogic sleep.” During Yoga Nidra, you will enter a calming state that triggers a relaxation response, naturally reducing stress in the body and mind. The practice creates physical and mental activities that change brain waves to release emotional tension, slow down the nervous system, and allow muscles to relax.
How does Yoga Nidra work?
While falling asleep, brain waves begin moving from thoughtful beta waves, pass through the stages of alpha waves, then theta waves, and finally enter the slowest frequency of sleep – delta waves. Yoga Nidra guides practitioners into a state of relaxation between the alpha and theta state. This allows us to lie in deep relaxation between waking and sleeping. This state calms the autonomic nervous system that regulates the body’s processes that take place without a conscious effort. In addition, it puts the parasympathetic nervous system into a deeper resting state. Through calming the nervous system, this guided meditation deeply benefits the brain and body.
Yoga Nidra Benefits:
• Improves thought patterns. • Reduces stress. • Enhances cognitive memory + performance. • Improves mindfulness. • Diminishes symptoms of anxiety + depression. • Helps treat chronic pain. • Reduces PTSD. • Improves sleep + insomnia. •Improves self-esteem + confidence. • Lowers blood pressure. • Enhances creativity. • Strengthens immune system. • Recharges vital energy. • Balances the nervous system. • Strengthens the endocrine system.
Holographic Sound Healing is a method of sound healing mainly using high quality quartz singing bowls and, from time to time, toning of the voice.
A sound bath can be easier than other meditative practices because it doesn’t require a lot of discipline or patience to learn how to do it — all you have to do is listen.
Benefits of a sound bath can include:
A beautiful blend of Yoga Nidra + Sound Healing where we relax deeply in a guided meditation as we attune to the beautiful vibrations of singing bowls.
Vital energy flows throughout your entire body. This energetic clearing is much like Reiki where you lie down as I use gentle touch — by placing my hands just above your body — to help guide that energy flow in a way that promotes balance and healing.
During this Energetic Clearing paired with Holographic Sound Healing, we attune to the beautiful sounds of quartz singing bowls tuned to 432 Hz and the toning of the voice.
432 Hz is known as the natural tuning of the universe, with which we resonate, and is a cosmic number related to sacred geometry that provides relaxation.
By pairing the singing bowls, the voice, and energetic clearing we work to remove energetic blockages and clear the energetic circulatory system of debris that no longer serves us.
Prepare to be left feeling calmer, lighter, refreshed, and rejuvenated.
Duration: 45-60 minutes

Chakra (cakra in Sanskrit) means “wheel” and refers to energy points in your body. They are thought to be spinning disks of energy that should stay “open” and aligned, as they correspond to bundles of nerves, major organs, and areas of our energetic body that affect our emotional and physical well-being.
In this meditation, I will guide your awareness throughout the parts of your body where the 7 main chakras reside using affirmations affiliated with each chakra.
Tea ceremony is rooted in Zen Buddhism as well as the Japanese appreciation for tea; it is about stepping away from the to-do lists and anxiety of everyday life to focus on the here and now.
Mindfulness is at the core of the practice. Every step in the process is executed carefully and with full attention.
During a tea ceremony there are specific stages. Participants focus all their senses on the moment and experience it fully. It is, therefore, a form of mindful meditation. This is what the tea ceremony is all about: concentrating exclusively on the moment at hand and noticing even the smallest details of the ritual.
I uses Living Tea for ceremonies which are tea leaves harvested from the high mountains and valleys of Yunnan, China and Taiwan. These are wild grown, ancient tea trees aging hundreds of years old free of any chemical fertilizers, pesticides or weed- killers.
People who have studied or attended tea ceremony say it’s like an active meditation that leaves them calmer, more focused, and more able to face the challenge of everyday life.
I offer tea ceremonies and yoga in Slidell, New Orleans, Mandeville, Covington and any other surrounding area.

Cacao ceremony has become a centerpiece of my routine ritual. Cacao ceremonies are helpful for getting clarity, setting intentions, inner-processing, self renewal, keeping us centered, and connected to our hearts.
Engaging with chocolate as a ritual, rather than consuming it as candy, has direct positive impact on our individual well-being as well as our global ecosystem.
Being in a sacred space helps you get out of your normal frame of mind, allowing you to experience new insights & perspectives. Depending on the intention of the ceremony they can also be wonderful places to connect with people in a safe, open-hearted environment. Sharing cacao brings us into the same energetic frequency. This often results in deeper more intimate connection with ourselves and each other.
When we gather to share cacao, we have a shared experience of mood elevation, increased vitality, enhanced intuition and empathy, and a more open, present heart. It is a medicinal & healing experience for your body, mind, and spirit.

I find it extremely important and potent for women to gather in community. My mission is to remind women of the Ancient Divine Femininity we hold within to find empowerment and deep healing. The goal is to create community amongst women where we are able to share with one another in a safe and judgment-free space. As women, we tend to carry a lot. When we gather as a community, we don’t have to carry it alone and can feel supported in whatever process we are going through.
Typically, in these women circles we will begin with a cacao ceremony to help open our hearts and connect with one another.
I will present conscious topics such as:
I will always incorporate my singing bowls during our gatherings and will open the floor to anyone who has anything to share. This is a safe space where every woman can feel SEEN and HEARD.
Occasionally, I will invite everyone to connect to their bodies through movement and join me in dance.
When we heal ourselves, we heal the world.
“The rise of feminine energies is not only necessary; it needs to accelerate if we are to regain any kind of healthy balance, socially and in ourselves. The era of total masculine dominance, which goes back to prehistoric times, has reached a state of exhaustion, which I think is felt quite widely. Brute force, physical strength, and aggression are masculine energies that once had survival value. But the future can’t emerge and the planet cannot be saved, by allowing those forces to dominate.
A healed planet inhabited by healed human beings demands the emergences of the feminine energies that have been ignored and suppressed far too long.”
– Deepak Chopra
