Our founder's journey to holistic healing was ignited by a personal crisis, a tipping point that revealed the need for balance in her own life. Struggling with the pressures of leading True Justice International, a nonprofit against human trafficking, while also being a devoted wife and mother, she found herself spiraling into anxiety and panic attacks. 

 

Knowing she had to recalibrate, she paused her leadership role and started medication along with Holy Yoga classes. Over time, this new routine transformed her life, allowing her to replace medication with mat-based healing. Inspired, she became a certified yoga instructor and therapist, blending her occupational therapy background, expertise in trauma, and Yogalattes training into an integrative, faith-based approach.

 

Today, her practice, First Loved Studio, offers "wholy healing"—a blend of movement, body alignment, therapeutic touch, and spiritual meditation. Rooted in the belief that being "first loved" is the cornerstone of all true healing, First Loved Studio provides a private, inclusive space for everyone, regardless of background or physical ability.

 

Come find your foundation for healing. We hope to see you on the mat soon!
