Welcome to Embodied Well Being.

I am dedicated to the sustainable well being that can be found and grown through embodied approaches. In my class, we will dance as a meditation to find and express our inner selves fully. We will move our energy while exploring grounding, boundaries, breathwork, inner listening and most importantly, becoming confident, skillful, and compassionate in our own bodies. All are welcome.

My credentials include having an M.A. in Clinical Psychotherapy, Integrative Mind Body Therapy certification, graduation from the Embodied Life School with training in With-ness, Feldenkrais, Non-violent Communication, and Focusing, certification and years teaching Mindfulness Meditation to adults and Social Emotional Skills to children.

A life-long equestrian with several injuries, her yoga practice has been instrumental in overcoming obstacles in healing and brought a new flexibility in body and mind.  

“I believe Yoga helps the human spirit to live our lives with a gentler and kinder outlook towards ourselves and others. We learn to accept our limitations and expand our body, mind by moving our energy through our body in a positive way.  Life’s journey is a constant  exploration of ourselves and for me, Yoga has played a major role.

Julian
Qi Gong

My name’s Julian! I was born in Taos and I love this area so much I decided to stay. I have a close relationship and responsibility to a piece of land that I steward, and recognize and teach the importance of existing in harmony with our relatives (plants, animals, and spirits).  

I began practicing etheric movements a long time ago and integrated a daily practice after studying tai chi at UNM through a Holistic Healing program. I enjoyed learning about Reiki, Kundalini Yoga, Chinese medicine, etc, and continuously deepen my understanding of medicinal plants and fungi, and healing through movement, breath, visualization and sound. 

I apprenticed in TCM for 4 years and In Curanderismo for 2 years.  Some modalities I offer include Reiki, Alpha Wave healing, Reflexology, Tui-Na, Auricular Acupuncture, Limpias, and many forms of healing based on South American indigenous traditions. It is a privilege to keep ancient traditions alive through teaching, from one generation to another, and to help raise consciousness one soul at a time.
