MY ROOTS
I have faced several challenges in my life; chronic pain, care-giving for terminally ill friends and family, divorce, and single parenting. I continue to overcome each challenge by learning how to balance my mind, body, and spirit with various healing modalities. I am a firm believer in yoga, meditation, massage, acupuncture, journaling, self-expression, arts, exercise, good nutrition, and laughter. My calling is is to ease others' pain and help them lighten the burdens they carry through self-care, living a healthy lifestyle, and facing challenges with grace and courage. 

Nia Wellness Oasis was born out of a need for people to remind themselves about how powerful, purposeful, and peaceful life can be when we take time to slow down, heal, center ourselves and breathe. When we learn how to overcome both internal and external resistance through mindfulness practices, we can prolong our lives by allowing our energy to flow freely and our true nature to shine.
