Aloha Beloved Community,

I’m writing to you from the Big Island of Hawaii, where I’ll soon be teaching my 5th annual Foundations Thai Yoga Massage (TYM) course on August 9–10th at Aloha Massage Academy. It’s a blessing to share my love of TYM and nurture a growing Sangah (community) among the locals. If you’re on Island, we have one spot left for this upcoming training.

Maturing into the Next Chapter

This year has been a time of inner listening and renewal. After a valuable sabbatical, including travels to Greece to deepen my studies of Thai Yoga Massage, I’m returning to my facilitator role with renewed purpose, clarity, and sensitivity.

I’m honored to serve as the Healing Arts Ambassador for LEAF Global Arts during their 30th Year Fall Festival, taking place October 16–19th. I’ll be offering and directing a range of experiences in the Healing Arts area—including a talk on The Way of Touch, hands-on Thai Yoga Massage workshops, and Women’s Frame Drumming. It’s a joy to be collaborating with a vibrant community of healing artists—each contributing to the heartbeat of Western North Carolina’s beauty, culture, and spirit post-Hurricane Helene year revival.

🌿 Upcoming Thai Yoga Massage Immersions – Asheville, NC

Thursday–Sunday, September 18–21, 2025

Thursday–Sunday, October 23–26, 2025

📍 Devoted Healing Arts Studio // Downtown, plenty of parking.

These 4-day immersion courses are open to everyone—no experience required. Returning students are warmly encouraged to join again to deepen their practice. Each training weaves together my signature approach to Thai Yoga Massage. Immersion also offers 32 CE hours for LMTs 🩵.

What We’ll Explore:

Foundational and effective Thai Yoga Massage techniques
Feminine energetics to support presence and relational awareness
Tools for nervous system regulation and trauma-informed care
How to give (and receive) touch with confidence, depth, and connection

✨ Weekend-only option for those with limited time

✨ Payment plans & pre-registration available

One of the most consistent reflections I receive from my courses:

“We wish the training was longer!”

These extended immersions are designed to provide a more spacious, supportive container for both personal and professional growth. I’m also planting seeds for future international retreats and a yearlong practitioner program, focused on cultivating holistic lifestyle practices and soul-centered business development.
