Yoga as therapy is tool provided by A Conscious Journey in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Using yoga in addition to talk therapy and counseling, we assist healing through a holistic practice. Techniques in mindfulness training create mind/body connection.

The Yogic Path

Through counseling and talk therapy, we assist ourselves in healing the brain through processing, open dialogue, language, and verbalizing our inner thoughts and feelings. Through yoga, we heal the mind and body through somatic empowerment. This physical practice supports the mental repair from counseling by utilizing the body as a container and outlet to facilitate strength. Mindful movement allows us to literally and figuratively flow through life. The connection of mind and body taps into the entire self and aligns our actions with our values. The mind benefits from stillness, and the body benefits from movement. Move the body to still the mind.

I work with determined, self-aware adults who are struggling with stress and anxiety and want improved satisfaction in their lives. I value a holistic approach, mindfulness, and evidence-based techniques for personal empowerment and change.

Specialties

  • Mental Health symptomology can cause individuals to cope in unhealthy ways like substance abuse and other problematic behaviors. Together we will work to improve wellbeing and reduce unhelpful habits.

  • I am a Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor. I help people cultivate and maintain recovery from addiction through empirically-based treatment modalities and techniques.

  • In today’s society, we are often told to be overly-concerned about our future while forgetting that the journey is also the destination. Living in the present moment with mindfulness helps dismantle worry and restlessness while harnessing and enjoying the power of now.

  • It can be difficult to move forward in life when we are having trouble letting go and feeling motivated. We can work on improving satisfaction and embracing radical acceptance to identify the things that we can control, as well as finding freedom in those that we simply cannot.

  • We are social creatures by design. Connecting with others is an inherent part of being human—let’s enhance our relationships by improving communication, managing boundaries, honoring our needs, and feeling autonomous with the people surrounding us!

  • Being a conscious human is a whole experience, on top of the messages and expectations we receive from our modern-day society. Empowerment and organization is possible when we manage stressors, conceptualize our desires, and prioritize our needs and responsibilities.
