About Me

Hi! I'm Aubrey :)

I’m just your regular ‘ol recovering perfectionist dog-mom living in rural Northwestern Arizona, guiding women towards emotional and energetic freedom and whole body wellness. 

 

I'm a math nerd gone mind-body enthusiast. I've spent a decade as a personal trainer and movement specialist, and along the way became so intrigued by the mind-body connection I studied eating psychology, mind-body therapy, conscious relationships, yoga + yoga psychology, auricular therapy and am journey down the Bioenergetic Medicine path.

my story (in a nutshell)

Yoga is the real reason why I’m here, doing this. I’ve received my 200 hr YTTC in India and spent the following 6 months traveling solo around Southeast Asia, Australia and the Pacific Islands. But before all of that, I was just a young professional working in Washington, D.C., disliking both my job, and myself, using cookie dough, excessive exercise and emotionally unavailable men as a way to distract me. Two years in, I finally let go of my need to make use of my math degree and changed careers into the fitness industry.

​

One day, about three years in, on the emotional roller coaster also known as my life (fueled by binge eating, no boundaries and low self worth), I found myself in a moment of heartbreak. Except that...it was really more like a painful realization that I actually had no freaking clue who the heck I was or what I wanted out of life! I was having a complete identity crisis at the age of 28.

 

This prompted some serious self-reflection, a momentarily unhealthy attachment to my yoga practice, a self-diagnosis of codependency, and a trip to Kripalu to attend Coby Kozlowski’s Quarter Life Calling (because, hello, isn't that the perfect sounding program for someone having a quarter life crisis)?! That culmination of events lead to a tough, but very much needed decision that I was quitting my job and traveling to India (and beyond).

 

During that trip, all of the pieces that made up my identity fell away. I was just an American girl chasing the sunset (literally, I'm obsessed with sunsets). And, simultaneously, I was becoming the true version of myself that had been hiding under societal (and mostly) self imposed expectations. Each day, I chose how I wanted to show up in the world. I committed to being uncomfortable for the sake of what was on the other side of that discomfort. When I returned stateside, I continued that commitment. I sat with a LOT of uncertainty (financial, professional, etc.). I was absolutely tempted to return to comfort, for the sake of convenience, but I knew that was no longer in alignment with my soul. 

​

Before, during, and after my trip, I continue(d) to learn. If we're being honest, I'll be a forever student. I studied Mind-Body Nutrition. 300 hours of Yoga Psychology. Conscious Relationships. 300 hours of Mind-Body Therapy. 300 more hours of Yoga. Auricular Therapy. And now, I'm in a doctorate program of Bioenergetic Medicine and Natural Medicine!

​

It's because of these certificate programs that I am who I am today. And, it's because of how complementary they are to one another that I am able to offer  integrative services. I've done the legwork, and now you my beautiful friend, can reap the benefits of a comprehensive, mind-body-soul experience. All I've ever wanted to do is help others avoid the pains of my past, and now, as a wiser version of myself, I realize I can't help you avoid anything, but I certainly can help you navigate the experience we call life.
