My journey into holistic wellness began as a teenager when I became interested in diet and nutrition for clear skin along with concerns about the products I was using on my skin. However, during a very difficult time in my life, I leaned heavily into my inner knowledge, hobbies and interests, turning to yoga, reiki, meditation, and crystal healing to help me find my way back to balance. These practices became not only tools for healing, but a way of life. In 2018, I opened my Etsy shop ‘Shalena108’ to offer hand-knotted malas made with love and intention, blending my love for creativity, spirituality, and meaningful connection.

Today, my classes offer a gentle and accessible space for anyone regardless of age or experience, to unwind, release tension, and reconnect. I focus on upper body movement, breathwork, and facial practices to counteract the effects of modern life (think; screen time, tight shoulders, clenched jaws). Good posture, relaxed muscles, and mindful touch can do wonders not just for how we look, but for how we feel.I’m passionate about helping others feel confident in their own skin and not feel pressure to look a certain way but to maintain, appreciate and celebrate our uniqueness.

At the heart of everything I offer is a desire to help people feel confident and grounded in their own skin, not striving for perfection, but embracing their uniqueness. Whether through yoga, Face Yoga, or intentional jewelry, I hope to provide moments of connection, care, and quiet empowerment.
