I had never tried Somatic Experiencing before, but was always open to alternative therapies. I went in with an open mind and few expectations. After thirty minutes via video call, I was amazed in the difference I felt. My body released pain and tension that I had been holding for years, some of which I had gotten so used to that I wasn’t aware of it until it was gone. I found Cacky to be gentle, patient and very skilled in her practice. I look forward to booking another session soon.

I had never taken part in a somatic experiencing session before, but had an interest in seeing what it was all about. Cacky had a beautiful way of introducing me to this practice, and guiding me through the process. She allowed me to stay in the driver seat, while offering invitations and suggestions along the way. I felt relaxed and at ease through the journey, and got to learn a lot about myself, as well as how much wisdom my body holds. I would highly recommend cacky as a guide to explore this practice with. Thankyou cacky for providing a safe space for my first somatic experience.

I’ve been through more than a handful of different approaches to talk therapy, but nothing as powerful as even a single SE session. I’ve gone in to each session composed and disconnected from my emotional and physical self, just from the rush of life, sure that I’ll be in the same state when we wrap up. Each session though, I’ve delved viscerally into body and mind into depths I didn’t even know were there and each time it has surprised and recentered me in an incredibly powerful way. If you have the opportunity to engage in an SE session with Cacky and entrust yourself to her kind, present, empathic guidance, you will without a doubt deepen the experience of your personal growth and your mind/body connection.

Using this technique with Cacky really surprised me. I've done lots of body work and talk therapy before, but the insights I got with Cacky were like nothing I've experienced before. The memories held in the cells of my body, especially my arms and hands, became conscious to me. Like I could finally understand how my body felt about the decisions my brain was making. And my body was wise. I should be trusting my body more. Thank you Cacky for enabling these insights, I don't think I could have gotten them any other way!

Whitney, CT, USA

I approached Cacky for an SE session in the raw depths of experiencing a deep + long-standing emotional trigger/activation. Right at the beginning of our session, Cacky presented the concept that her role in our session was, in part, to be bumper rails as I processed. And that was deeply true; I felt incredibly contained, supported, and held in my processing and releasing. As I spoke and sat with this particular trigger, Cacky guided me deeper into my body (and thus emotions) through questions. Cognitively, it didn’t feel like much was happening but as the minutes rolled on, we invited a vast softness and spaciousness to my body, emotions, and mind. And by the end, we had diffused the trigger and invited the wisdom of my body, intuition, and heart to lead the way forward. I feel deeply grateful for Cacky’s beautiful holding and invitation into the body so that I could remember and access the truth that lives within.

“Jeannine’s meditations are full of wisdom and clarity. Her words move our minds gently to stillness, and eventually open up a world of possibility that was always there and simply needed a guide to show us. Her drive and dedication towards her students is palpable in her every word.”

Jordan truly understands the importance of set and setting in my yoga practice. She focuses on curating an entire experience designed to bring the class inward. Everything from the temperature, lighting, sound, and even the smell are thoughtfully done. Walking into her class feels sacred, it clears the fog of everyday stresses and re-aligns my personal ambitions.

Gianni Ottone

Jordan’s yoga classes are so sweet. She has such an inviting energy and a great flow when she teaches. I always feel better when I leave one of her classes because I am more aware of my body/mind/spirit

Moni DeGroot

I am new to Yoga; I TOTALLY lucked out and found an awesome instructor. Jordan made me feel so relaxed in her classes simply by saying “we are here for ourselves and no one else”, which is so true. She incorporates so many positive attributes into her “flows” that you leave feeling at peace. I highly recommend her classes to anyone who wants to get the benefits of Yoga for both the body and mind

LeAnn Larsen

I’ve been working out with Jordan both before and throughout quarantine, and I love her style and approach! I always feel better after a yoga, barre, or mat class, and my body is so grateful for the stretching and toning exercises. I’ve been a member since Jordan started her program, and I love the varied and challenging workouts!

Heather Lazare

Jordan’s classes are fun, challenging and varied. No two classes are alike, yet she ensures that all major muscle groups are worked. She is a talented instructor who gives you cues at just the right moment. Love her classes - be they Barre, pilates mat or yoga!

Desiree Millikan

The few I’ve taken with Keena, I love it. She always brings that energy

Lisa Williams

Had the most amazing safe COVID outdoor morning class with Keena. She was amazing and accommodating to every experience level. The entire intent was to love your body and end with the energy you wish to foster. Such an authentic experience. Highly recommend.

Abby Schultz

I've attended Kimberly's workshops, yoga classes, and group breathwork sessions, and all have left me feeling more empowered. Her beautiful personality shines through, yet she is so sensitive to everyone's needs and circumstances. In just one breathwork session, I felt a complete shift in my mood and emotions, and I felt so incredibly supported. That feeling has lasted over a week since my session, and I'm excited to explore her breathwork sessions even more! I always come back to her yoga classes because they are so accessible and feel so safe. Her workshops are incredibly informative and enjoyable. I'm so thankful for the work Kim is doing!

Elizabeth Knaub

Kimberly is a wonderful yoga instructor and musician. I consistently feel more free, open, and balanced after taking her classes.

Gavin Laur

Just did my first breathwork session with Kimberly - highly recommend it to anyone considering!! She is so amazing and I felt so comfortable with her! My mind feels clear and my body feels relaxed and rejuvenated after today’s practice.

Francesca Leo

I’ve tried yoga in the past and was never able to stick with it, but ever since I found Kimberly’s classes I’ve been hooked! As a musician, and more specifically a violinist, it really makes all the difference to have an instructor who knows exactly what you’re going through and creates a safe and relaxing space to practice. Highly recommend her, especially to fellow fiddlers!

Hannah Harris

Musicians, Kimberly is amazing and truly one of a kind. She has helped me so much and her wellness and yoga classes are truly beautiful. I really doubt I would be playing this comfortably if it weren't for her livestreams and classes.

Dana Wolpe

I had a session with Kimberly to do breathwork. On a conscious level, it's very simple. All you have to do is breathe (and maybe let out a primal scream lol) but on an energetic level, it is essentially surgery for the soul. Kimberly made me feel so safe and supported while she held a space for kinda just WHATEVER to happen. It was so massively healing for me.

Katie Skinner

This breathwork session was a worthwhile experience for me and I look forward to incorporating breath work more in the future. I feel like it helped me connect to my deeper self and confront some hard truths and open myself up to confronting those. Looking forward to the next one!

Laura Martin-Eagle at Moon Jewel Ayurveda helped me to slow down and restore a real sense of balance in my life. I found Laura’s teachings and treatments to be genuinely healing and nurturing. Under Laura’s care I feel a sense of deep respect towards my body, mind and spirit and therefore have learned to sense when I feel an imbalance and take steps to heal myself. I am extremely grateful to have found her guidance and wisdom

Emily S. Kopa, San Martín de los Andes, Argentina

Receiving Ayurvedic guidance and care from Laura for the past five years has been truly life changing. Through regular consultations and follow up Laura has helped me to learn strategies to help heal myself of physical and psychological ailments through Ayurvedic practices. Laura’s gentle, patient and professional demeanor makes her easy to talk to and ever so trustworthy when discussing personal health issues. Laura has been extremely accommodating by providing me with appointments via Skype as I have been living and traveling abroad for the past few years. Her guidance and recommendations are always extremely thoughtful and individualized. Laura’s follow ups are always written out in a very thorough and organized manner making it possible and realistic to apply her advice and her recommendations of Ayurvedic practices to daily life. I also use and take Ayurvedic herbs, tinctures and oils prepared by Laura. Her products are all so beautifully and carefully crafted, when using them I c

~ JM, Artist and Organic Farmer, South Korea and Oregon

Working with Laura felt like the initiation and ritual into womanhood that I never got when I came of age. She is Shakti energy personified and it spills into the space, plants, and bodies she touches. Laura doesn’t just create a welcoming space for your physical body, but for the divine in you as well. Your higher realms of spirit are nourished by sight, sound and scent.

“I remember first coming to Sweat Your Prayers with my mom when I was in college, and my immediate reaction was, ‘well this is weird.’ But as I relaxed and started to dance, I became aware of a feeling of great connection with Spirit. For the first time in my life I felt connected to every living thing. I could feel my oneness with the universe. I cried, right there on the dance floor, flooded with love. Twenty years later and I still feel that same connection, the same ecstasy, at Sweat Your Prayers. Dancing touches me like nothing else, it is when I feel most joyful and alive. No matter where I’m dancing I’m having a great time. But there is something truly magic at Sweat Your Prayers that is cultivated by Laura. It always heals me and gives me the answers I need, which is only possible through Laura’s gift of creating a sacred container.”

– Lea Roselyn

For at least fourteen years (plus) that I’ve been in the community, Laura has been continuously creating such a safe strong fiercely loving container for delving into the shamanic practice of movement medicine, in the same room, on the same beautiful wooden floor, with such responsiveness to what seems to be emerging within our community...offering a truly transformative healing opportunity for me, personally, & to countless others. I’ve experienced so much there as I’ve danced, prayed, sweat, cried, sung, “lost myself” & learned (from Laura) that I could instead of “losing myself,” actually move to “find myself.” That was a pivotal moment for me in my practice.

Miranda knows exactly when to step in and when to step out so that the natural world can do the teaching. With her support I always feel held and inspired.

Jiang

Miranda's compassion shines through everything she does -- I've never felt someone listen so fully, or so helpfully.

Dino

Miranda's entire life helps me to see what it's all about: living simply in awe and connection.

Lila

With Miranda I felt safe to try headstand for the first time. She helped me to realize that I could find joy in the process, regardless of any "end result."

Bettina

Every time I spend time with Miranda I leave feeling centered, wise, and ready. I don't know how she does it but there's some magic in the air around her.

Claire

Miranda's offerings are like no one else's. Once I sink into them, I never want to leave. After practicing with her even taking a sip of water becomes special.

Lisa

What I love most about Miranda's approach is the bottomless well of curiosity she draws from. She has an openness that shows me new doors, places where I see myself and everything around me as if for the first time.

Nicole

Mariam is one of my absolute favorite yoga teachers. There is something very special about the presence and space she creates - even in online classes! Mariam is gentle, caring, and highly intuitive. her passion for teaching is obvious and I always feel incredibly supported and encouraged during her classes. Thank you, Mariam!

"At the end of class Tuesday, relaxed into our final pose, I was on the yin side of that mountain you described. And- my father appeared. This was my first time connecting with Dad since he died 5 years ago. Michaela, it was life-altering. All five of my senses were felt in incredible detail. There was a twinkle in his eye, a bow, and a beautiful dance between us on that cool, moonlit mountain. All the answers I needed to know were within in me in an instant. I will never, ever forget this. And make no mistake: You opened me, and ushered him in. YOU are a gift. Thank you. From the very damn depths of me.
