about cecily

the yogini years

I grew up in Denver, Colorado. I am the oldest of 5 children. I graduated with a B.S. in Psychology from Arizona State University. I became a Bikram-Certified Yoga Instructor in 1995 and opened a Yoga Studio in Clearwater, FL. I thrived in the Yoga world, and loved my work. I especially loved the contact with the students- hearing about their lives, their loves, their histories.

stay at home mom decade

Robert and I began our family. Ali came first, Aidan second. I let the studio go and began the next decade as a stay-at-home mom. I completely underestimated the challenges of that career path! It is a tough job to be home with young children and to parent consciously.

finding the healing path

It was in these years that I discovered Brennan Healing Science and the life, clarity and passion that working with a Brennan Healer awakened in me. As with anything that I love, I threw myself into learning more about Barbara Brennan and her work and decided to attend the 4 Year Training program in Florida. I graduated in June 2009 and opened my healing practice at Shala, Downtown Charlottesville in July 2009.

why do I do this work?

Healing has always been a passion for me. I thrive in my own life when I feel my flow, my aliveness, my passion, my love for others, my contributions to my family and community and when I have the abundance of energy to do what I want to do. As I have continued to explore the complementary realms of medicine, my life has been significantly influenced by Brennan Healing Science.

It is a great joy for me to share this work with others and to offer a safe space for you to explore your own life experience with compassion, heart, integrity, consciousness and playfulness.
