I combine real REST with SELF-REGULATION strategies to gain control over patterned thinking and optimize brain function to ACCELERATE learning. Rest=Learning and REST=self love! I offer children and adults purposeful rest experiences to renew a sense of WELL-BEING and promote feelings of safety by releasing accumulated stress and tension. I will guide you (& your child/children) into slower brain wave states such as Alpha and Theta, to allow focus, self-regulate & transform. Everyone has an innate ability to restore, recalibrate and THRIVE. & EVERYONE deserves to live as the empowered, peaceful and fulfilled person they are meant to be!

Passionate about dance and drawn to the water, I find joy in embracing movement and connecting with nature. I strongly believe that children bring us into the present moment and should always be treated with the utmost respect as fellow human beings. While I love engaging in conversations, my cancer rising sign reminds me to maintain balance and take time to recharge. I have an unwavering commitment to offering help and being a compassionate friend to everyone I encounter. As a 200-hour certified vinyasa yoga instructor with additional training exceeding 300 hours, I possess a diverse range of accreditations. My expertise extends to trauma-based yoga, yin yoga, restorative yoga, meditation, Yoga Nidra, and kids yoga. With my comprehensive skill set, I aim to create transformative experiences for my students on and off the mat. For over two decades, I have maintained CPR, first aid, and AED certifications for both children and adults. Furthermore, I have completed mental health first aid courses that equip me to provide support to individuals from all walks of life. Alongside my dedication to wellness, I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from the esteemed University of Arizona. Currently, I devote my time to teaching yoga, nurturing my passion project Wednesday's Child, an inclusive thrift store, and tending to The Original Witch Shop, a spiritual store. When I'm not actively pursuing my various endeavors, you'll often find me expanding my knowledge or exploring the great outdoors. Known for my gentle and empathetic nature, I specialize in assisting others in finding their roots and establishing a strong foundation. I am eager to collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations to create meaningful experiences together. Let's connect and explore the possibilities soon. xx janet
