Growing up in the hustle and bustle of New Jersey life, it became essential for her to try to make sense of this world and find some peace. She practiced karate from early childhood, receiving her black belt and winning the nationals multiple times, which is where she first heard the concept of Chi, or life force. She was always an avid reader of philosophy, becoming absorbed in Sean Paul Sartre, Jung, and Emerson as a teenager. She professionally obtained her Kai Chi Do teaching certification in 2013, her 200 hour Yoga Teaching Certification (CYT) in 2014 from Aquarian University, and is actively finishing her 500 hour Registered Yoga Teacher certification (RYT), the highest level of certification one can obtain in this field, which enables her to provide yoga teacher trainings. In addition she was certified in Perception Therapy through Alternative Treatment International, in 2014, which deals with the concept that perception forms thinking, which forms behavior. She has an A.A. from SWFL State College, with a philosophy minor, that she obtained in 2011 and has since studied both psychology and environmental engineering at FGCU. Additionally, she spent many years in professional sales and is a small business owner, resulting in a well rounded balance of right and left brain thinking. She will be returning to school to finish the last year of her undergrad in the UCF, BS in psychology program, with a neuroscience concentration, fall of 2020, and then plans to pursue graduate studies in Anthropology. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dcede89e9f61c5fd7c49107/t/5e0b9e9145b7b142084460b0/1577819819571/85186.jpg About Us - Joy vs Happiness “Joy and happiness are wonderful feelings to experience, but are very different. Joy is more consistent and is cultivated internally. It comes when you make peace with who you are, why you are and how you are, whereas happiness tends to be externally triggered and is based on other people, things, places, thoughts and events.” - Psychologies https://www.themagicoflife.love/kai-chi-do daily 0.75 2019-11-19 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dcede89e9f61c5fd7c49107/t/5dd5529c93093278215f1fd2/1574261409670/hikari-1-1.jpg Kai Chi Do https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dcede89e9f61c5fd7c49107/t/5dd54de328b12a6e57a7eb0a/1574260199291/Three-Connections-Kai-Chi-Do-PDF.jpg Kai Chi Do https://www.themagicoflife.love/yoga-teacher-training daily 0.75 2019-11-20 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dcede89e9f61c5fd7c49107/t/5e0e8015af57813870e7677c/1578008601215/Unknown-1.png Yoga Teacher Training https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dcede89e9f61c5fd7c49107/t/5e0e8a5d98b8e47e1bb14985/1578011235719/IMG_0308.jpg Yoga Teacher Training - This training will lead you into the heart of LIVING yoga.

When we are engaging in private lessons there is a caregiver training component that takes place organically as well. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dcede89e9f61c5fd7c49107/t/5e0a67ce00049e623e05fd57/1577740435922/IMG_0284.jpg Special Needs Inclusion - Special Yoga As a parent of a child with ASD, I understand the importance of teaching to this community. Yoga and meditation can be helpful for a wide range of additional needs, with results such as increased balance and coordination, self soothing and increased mental clarity. In class we speak about things like compassion and self-acceptance, enforcing these concepts aids in self esteem and social skills. https://www.themagicoflife.love/mental-health daily 0.75 2019-12-28 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dcede89e9f61c5fd7c49107/t/5e0b6b26bb6d5e7d70427717/1577806635106/IMG_0290.jpg Mental Health - Mental-Wellness So many of us have felt broken or disconnected. Most are, or have, battled addiction in one form or another. Remember, addiction is defined as “exhibiting a compulsive, chronic, physiological or psychological need,” for something. This can be anything; heroin, food, or running. It’s about the mind grasping. There is no freedom in addiction. There is no freedom in a loop of constant sadness. There is no freedom in isolation. In our Mental-Wellness Classes we practice in the context of openness and freedom. The practices themselves will work towards mental well-being on their own, but expect to hear additional talk about positive habit building, letting go, finding joy, etc. This is a place where you can leave your pain. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dcede89e9f61c5fd7c49107/t/5e0b6bf0a72072138c926a5f/1577806841458/IMG_0289.jpg Mental Health - Mind-Body Practices Yoga, meditation, and Kai Chi Do are all considered mind-body practices. This is a practice that works to integrate the mind and body for optimal well-being, using a variety of techniques, of which breath is typically included. They all also work towards positive mental health, towards mental well-being. Practices like these can work to change the hardwiring of the brain overtime, they can change the way we process thought and how we are able to cope with life. Meditation for instance has been shown to reduce anxiety because when we meditate it weakens neural pathways to the medial frontal cortex from the area of the brain responsible for fear, so we don’t go into fight or flight when it’s not needed. When we weaken this connection, we strengthen the connection to the area responsible for reasoning, allowing us to make more logical, less fear-based decisions. https://www.themagicoflife.love/private-healing-sessions-1 daily 0.75 2019-12-28 https://www.themagicoflife.love/palliative-care daily 0.75 2019-12-31
