Somatic Yoga for Healing
Release chronic stress, pain and anxiety, reclaim your life and move forward with courage and clarity.
It feels like you're always holding your breath
Unresolved childhood trauma, difficult relationships, and unhealed attachment wounds can create chronic stress and anxiety that linger for years, affecting your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
With the nervous system stuck in a prolonged state of fight-or-flight, the effects ripple through your body, mind, and spirit, leaving you feeling drained, anxious, and out of balance.
Through somatic movement and body-centered practices rooted in yoga, you can re-balance your nervous system, release deeply held stress, and let go of anxiety. It's time to restore peace, heal from within, and fully embrace this precious life of yours.

I WANT TO LEARN MOREHi there, I'm Ali.
Challenging relationships and life experiences can take a lasting toll on your nervous system—keeping you stuck in survival mode and disconnected from your own sense of peace.
As a Certified Yoga Therapist, I offer a trauma-informed, body-first approach to healing that draws on the science of neuroplasticity, the power of somatic movement, and the wisdom of yoga. These tools help you gently regulate your nervous system, release chronic stress and anxiety, and reconnect with clarity, courage, and self-trust.
With over 1,000 hours of specialized training in emotional and physical trauma, post-traumatic stress, and nervous system regulation, I guide clients through practices that support healing at every level—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
I’ve walked this path myself. These tools have changed my life, and I know how powerful they can be in helping you feel safe in your body again—and confident in who you are.
I offer yoga therapy programs in Richmond, Virginia and online, making this work accessible no matter where you are.
If you're ready to explore a new way of healing, I’d love to connect. Join my interest list, and let’s discover whether yoga therapy is the next step on your journey.

You deserve more
Maybe it feels like you're always walking on eggshells. Or that you say yes when you'd rather say no. You're a people pleaser or maybe you're a perfectionist. You're a rescuer, always making sure everyone else is ok. It feels like if you're not in control then things won't go the way they're supposed to.Â
You deserve more than feeling stuck, anxious, or living your life for others. You can live the life you were meant for. You can learn to manage the anxiety and stress from difficult relationships and circumstances. You can thrive.
You deserve a life with purpose, clarity and the courage to be who you were put on this earth to be.Â
