Meet Jessica, Reiki Master Teacher and CMT

Hi, I’m Jessica! I started my journey as a wellness provider in Pompano Beach Florida. I graduated from the Florida College of Natural Health with 650 hours of massage therapy training on July 21, 2007. I later received my license to practice from the NCTEMB on Oct 12, 2007. After a few years of exploring the United States I grounded in the mountains of Northern California.  I received my certification for massage therapy by the California Massage Therapy Council
August 8, of 2017.

Having an awareness of a strong need for healthy energetic boundaries and hygiene tools I took my Usui Holy Fire Reiki level 1 and 2 training in March of 2021 in Chico California. I continued my training and recieved my master teacher training in Mt Shasta California with Jane Miners of Rooted Life Reiki Aug of 2022. I'm currently residing on a homestead as a backyard herbalist and devotional artist.


Nadia Yoga Teacher, Thai Yoga Bodyworker, hayfork ca, redding ca, chico ca, northern california

Meet Nadia, Thai Yoga Bodyworker and Yoga Teacher

Nadia started her yoga journey over 20 years ago, practicing yoga, trapeze and theater dance in Argentina. In 2005 she finished her training in theater dance. While teaching theater dance in Nigeria-Africa she became interested in learning breath work and deepening body awareness. This began a passion for the ancient art of yoga and a commitment to helping others find balance, physical, and spiritual well being.

In 2018 she completed her 200 Hour yoga teacher training in India for Vinyasa flow and ashtanga. As a teacher, Nadia’s mission is to spread the power of yoga and guide others to holistic health and self-discovery. She grounds her students in an ongoing awareness of breath while guiding them through poses.

Nadia provides thoughtful Yoga classes that are a mix of movement, breath work and meditation. She is committed to the development of her unique teaching. On her  path she gained interest in Thai yoga massage, a connection between massage and yoga sharing principles of promoting balance, relaxation, and overall well being. 

She finds as a yoga teacher that Thai yoga massage is a complementary practice that enhances the benefits of her yoga routine. Nadia finished her training in 2022 successfully completing 3 levels and an additional 12 hour training of Hands free Thai yoga massage. 

As a Thai yoga body worker she wants to promote relaxation, improve flexibility, relieve muscle tension, and achieve physical and emotional harmony.
