6 years of clinical experience
The AURA approach radiates from within. Mindful focus begins first within your physical body, to the energetic body, and then expands awareness into your home toward more mindful living.
If you're feeling called to create meaningful change, cultivate a new habit, move through a transition, or simply reconnect with yourself, private mindfulness sessions offer a personalized space designed around your unique needs and intentions. Together, we can create your own mindful blend by combining practices.
