trauma recovery and resilience-building through yoga, retreats, and trauma informed care training.
Our Integrated Approach
Guiding participants in the sacred practice of yoga through a safe and effective trauma informed lens heals the imprint of trauma on the body and mind. This approach provides options, allowing you to make empowered choices for yourself and rebuild a connection with your body and begin to recover from trauma.
There is no one magic solution, modality, or method to healing. Each of us is as unique as the many different resources, services, and activities we might choose to engage in to heal and grow. Our personalized, holistic process is tailored to meet your individual needs and help empower you to connect with your body, mind, and spirit in a nourishing, unified way, leading to health and well-being.
“Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence.”
— Peter A. Levine, PhD
Testimonials
-
Bob, chair yoga
“I had never done yoga before and knew nothing about it. Lou Ann made me feel comfortable as a beginner. Now I look forward to it. After every session I always feel better. Yoga improves my health issues, mobility, balance, and stiffness in my joints. Lou Ann is really good at what she does.”

Julie, trauma sensitive yoga
“Working with Lou Ann is transformative. Her voice, facial expression, and even how she holds her body feels supportive rather than intrusive. Whenever Lou Ann offers a class, I feel like I connect with myself - something I didn’t often do in my life because I was always focusing on others. After months of practice with Lou Ann, I feel more confident and in charge of my life. I’ve always said I wanted freedom in my life, but I didn’t realize that it was a sense of freedom in my own body.”
