Christina
Hey there! I'm Christina, and I've dedicated my life to guiding others on their path to healing and wellness. My journey into holistic healing began in 2008 when I discovered the profound impact of yoga on my own trauma recovery. After training in an ashram in Canada, I embarked on a journey to share the transformative power of yoga with others.
As a trauma survivor myself, I understand the importance of addressing emotional wounds and nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. I believe in creating a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their inner selves, release trauma, and cultivate resilience.
I strive to bring trauma-informed practices to individuals who may not otherwise have access to such incredible healing modalities. My ultimate goal is to empower others to embrace their journey towards healing and self-discovery, reclaiming their power and finding inner peace.
I am an active RYS-200, RYT500, E-200RYT, and YACEP, registered with the Yoga Alliance with a focused area of expertise in Meditation, Trauma Informed Yoga and Yoga Nidra. I also have specialty certifications as an Empowerment Life Coach, EFT Practitioner, and Reiki Master.
I've worked on yoga projects that include teaching yoga for victims and survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence (NYC), teaching yoga for senior refugees (Portland, ME) and teaching yoga at an after-school youth yoga program (Lewiston, ME), and most recently, teaching yoga to transitional youth (Reno, NV).
I truly love helping people elevate inner peace and calm, cultivate self-discovery, and strengthen their mind-body connection.
Cara Rose

I’m a Certified Self-Care Coach, Emotional Intelligence Coach, Hypnotherapist, Yoga & Mindfulness Instructor and Reiki Practitioner. I am passionate about self-love, self-care, self-acceptance, healing, transformation, self-development and growth.

My personal experience includes: death & grief, abusive & dysfunctional relationship, divorce, career-change, breast cancer, interracial & interfaith relationship, biraciality, sexuality, body image, women’s health, substance abuse and care-coordination.
