Design a life where your personal dreams and professional goals are balanced

Build Your Meditation Practice
Studies show that just 15 minutes of meditation practice each day can reduce stress and anxiety, lengthen focus, and improve sleep. Learn to drop into your parasympathetic nervous system so that your mind and body can recharge and recenter in just moments during a busy day — equipping you to better handle the inevitable stressors that come up.
-
Set Goals in "Design Therapy"
Set goals in "design therapy" — connect with a supportive community of women sharing candidly about their personal and professional goals. Together, we'll do mindset work to cultivate a vision for work-life balance that will sustainably support our dreams. These "design therapy" sessions are great for posing thoughtful questions and exploring solutions both introspectively and with the support of the community.
-
Embody Your Authentic Self
Embody your authentic self — When you're embodying your authentic self, you're unstoppable. We'll explore yoga, mindfulness, and movement practices to help you center and ground yourself in your body and recognize when you're moving into states of tension and anxiety. Learn to release stress and tension from your body with basic movement and simple breathing practices that you can easily incorporate into a busy day.

He listens deeply to his healing and metaphysical intuition and waits till the ripest moment before sharing all that his life wisdom and deep healing love has to share with us. When he directs his attention to you, you will feel a gentle shift as well as great encouragement.” - Bonnie, Yoga Instructor
