Through education and immersion in ancient practices, I've experienced healing and the deepening of connection between myself and nature. Through meditation and staying open to the creative spirit within, I've come to believe that it is my purpose to grow with these practices, adapting and sharing them to make them accessible to others.
As life has unfolded, it's given me the opportunity and physical space to make my vision a reality. It is with trust, immense gratitude, effort, and my full heart that I offer my creation of Elemental Roots. I welcome all humans with the intention of giving you the tools to communicate, resonate, and emanate the energy within yourself to the elements of nature. I vow to be present and offer my knowledge, practice, and experience to those seeking ways to feel better, be more connected, and grounded in their mind, body, heart, and spirit.
House of Yin the home of Elemental Roots.
In 2011, I began my first teacher training studying yoga and meditation at age 18 with Juliana Trejo Bossano in Coral Springs, Fl, completing a 200 hour Hatha yoga teacher training. In 2016, I completed a 108 hour Thai Massage certification through the Bodhi Sangha School of Thai Massage. I went to New York to study with Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa at Golden Bridge Yoga NYC and completed a Kundalini Prenatal yoga teacher training. In 2017, I completed a 300 hour Mystical Yoga teacher training on Lake Atitlán, Guatemala through School Yoga Institute with in depth focus on the Andean medicine wheel and shamanic practices. My yoga, meditation, and Thai massage studies guided me to learn more about the art of bodywork. In 2019, I graduated from the Florida School of Massage with studies in Massage Therapy & Hydrotherapy. I believe in the support and integration of this work in healing arts. I provide a space for clients to ask for what they need with the encouragement of breath and energy to explore.
In 2015, I was introduced to cacao with use as plant medicine and ceremony. Continuing to sip and experience the healing properties of this warm drink led me to further my knowledge of the benefits of cacao. I have traveled to Lake Atitlán, Guatemala and attended private and public ceremonies led by local Mayan shamans and the late Keith Wilson of Keith’s cacao. I traveled to BFREE Reserve in Belize to further learn about the agroforestry of cacao. For many years I made this drink for myself, sat, and developed a writing practice. It has assisted me in healing matters of the heart! It has illuminated my creative processes. At this time in my life, I still welcome the mama cacao spirit in everything I do. Cacao has taught me how to open my heart while understanding my vulnerabilities and how to hold space for that openness. Cacao has taught me about real compassion, one that is felt by kind action and reverence for each other’s differences. I am inspired, held, and integrated with plant allies all around us. I continue studies in herbalism, flower essences, tea, and plant medicine for the changes and different seasons of my life. My practice roots into the awareness of our connection to all things. Much like the fascia (connective tissue) throughout our bodies that supports, connects, protects, and creates our physical structure. We are here to help each other, to offer a kind word, thought, or action to anyone we come across in our day to days. This is how change happens, little by little, not in a grand gesture but in the spaces between. This is the magic of being witness to someone else’s process of becoming.
I am a mystic mama, full spectrum doula certified through The Matrona, and an integrative energy & bodyworker. I gave birth to my son at home in December 2020. I gave birth to my daughter at home in May 2023. Being a mama has given me a depth and fullness to my life. A way to experience life sweetly and slowly. I aim to nurture and mother myself, family, work and allow a deep reverence for the feminine mystic. I specialize in working with those who are pregnant, postpartum, and healing from any traumas of the womb. I believe support, trust, and comfort are important during transitional times. I honor the relationship in the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. I also specialize in energy work that includes my initiations through shamanic practices, attuned to Reiki at the second degree, polarity therapy, and Thai massage.
I am elated to be a part of the awe-inspiring space and home of House of Yin. My intention is to create a practice implementing my range of knowledge in different healing art practices, connecting with others to find comfort, support, and trust in where they are. Presence is the most important aspect of this journey!
I believe there is much to observe, give, and receive from each other and this beautiful land of Mama Earth we are a part of. These practices have allowed me more space for learning and understanding this wild human existence. I love being able to share these tools with others.
