the “why” behind it all…

 

during my early twenties I was swimming in my personal Dark Night of the Soul. after experiencing significant trauma in college that reminded me of my childhood, i was navigating a time of ego death, shedding layers of who i thought i was. this was when i experienced my first awakening, the winter of 2012.

that march i discovered yoga which changed the entire trajectory of my life. at the time i had no idea that the work i’d be doing in my thirties would be entirely informed by the most painful window of my life, all inspired by yoga.

Before I embarked on my path of holistic healing, I was studying my Undergrad work in Psychology & Sociology at West Chester University. My beliefs about how I viewed the world were entirely structured & understood exclusively through science. If there wasn’t a study to prove it, I didn’t believe it!

my passion for sociology then grew rapidly and I embarked on a Global Master’s Degree in International Non-profit Work through Webster University. I feel that my year long graduate program abroad gave me a perspective on life I had never yet had. I received the gift of studying in 5 different countries and was fortunate enough to backpack through 16 countries total, allowing me to witness the world on a broader scale. Through my travels I found my authentic voice, battled loneliness, expanded my perspectives on life & challenged my Spirit in more ways than I could have imagined.

During this transformative period, I deepened my love for yoga & wellness as it was a tool that kept me grounded. It allowed me to more readily adapt to moving countries every few months and my practice assisted me in integrating the information I learned about injustices in underserved countries.

After graduation from my Master’s program, i traveled to India to learn from the source of eastern yogic thought. there I began a 2 month long 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Shiva Yoga Peeth and studied under teachers who expanded my horizons for what was possible in my life & my healing.

Over many years of continued study I added reiki, cyclical/seasonal living, somatic + embodiment tools, neuroscience, divine feminine/divine masculine tools, sacred sexuality perspectives, tantrik science, kundalini, breathwork, energetics + many other schools of thought into my teaching style.

I humbly & graciously thanks my wonderful teachers and their teachers for the wisdom teachings that I embody daily!

testimonials

“Carleena is a beautiful person, inside and out. She makes you feel welcome and comfortable during your session. Is very thorough with her research, questions she'll ask, and is all around very well prepared. Her professionalism is second to none and dies all that she can to work with your schedule. Myself, being a single father, can sometimes have issues getting some free time. Carleena moved her schedule around to accommodate my schedule so that we could have our session. I'd recommend her to anyone and suggest you book your appointment now as you won't be disappointed.” ❈ james

“This is a PLRT review from someone who NEVER reviews anyone or anything. From the moment you first hear Carleena's voice inviting you into her home, she's got you and you know you're in a very good place. The honesty in her welcoming eyes and smile is a warm embrace that instantly puts you at ease. You immediately feel her love and sense her dignity and grace. If you want to explore your soul, better understand who and what you really are, which is the energy and mighty God presence that continuously flows through all of us, then Carleena is the one. She has a precious gift and is a gift: she is love and projects that love openly. You leave feeling your light and seeing and honoring hers. You won't be disappointed. Looking forward to another session with this beautiful soul.” ❈ G

“Carleena’s shadow work course opened a door for me into a deeper practice of spirituality, trusting myself, and accepting myself. It created a foundation of self exploration and learning that has helped me to transform my relationship with the parts of myself that I otherwise would have battled or repressed. Now, I am able to practice bringing forth and approach these aspects of self lovingly, something I never thought possible! And to top it off, Carleena holds an incredibly safe, loving, and nurturing space to do this deep work and truly embodies what she teaches. Overall, it was a life changing experience that has been an immense catalyst to my growth. Just a friendly heads up - this shadow work course may influence you to embrace yourself in ways you only ever dreamed ❤️🤗✨” ❈ Bernadette

“It was an honor having Carleena as a teacher for my Yin I certification. She is the full embodiment of these teachings. I am so grateful to have gained the foundational knowledge of yin, and will be looking to join her for Yin II.” ❈ kat

“Carleena is such a beautiful person…When I saw her newsletter post offering the yin yoga training, I came down from Boston to attend. It was such a rejuvenating experience. A group of wonderful people gathered for meaningful self-actualization. Her knowledge of functional (ie not aesthetic) yin yoga challenges society’s often toxic interpretation of what yoga is meant to be. I’d recommend Carleena‘s yin teacher trainings to anyone who wants to “see the change you wish to see in the world” of yoga. 10/10, do it!” ❈ samantha

“Such a beautiful experience. I felt like I was meeting up with an old friend and was completely at ease the minute I walked through her front door. Warmth and light truly radiates from her. What a gift.” ❈ alexis

“A beautiful person/soul who welcomes you into her home with love as if she’s known you your whole life. During my PLRT, she did a thorough job of explaining the process and what is to be experienced inside and out and did a fantastic job in making you feel comfortable at all times. She navigated the session like an experienced practitioner and asked the right questions that will help you in your healing process. She cares and is so excited for her clients and their wellbeing with regard to their experience. She truly loves her work which translates to how her clients feel during the process. Give her your business, you won’t be disappointed!” ❈ Zayd

“i am truly thrilled with my experience. i decided to do a past life regression and i am in awe of the amazing energy received from carleena. So authentic and so nurturing. I was able to trust her enough to go in a deep trance. It felt like she was apart of my soul group and I felt at ease. She also provided resources to dive into more work. I am truly pleased and cant wait to go back to unlock more soul secrets.” ❈ esther h

“Carleena made me feel comfortable the moment I walked in for my past life regression therapy. She has such a natural ability to show her support through genuine, heart-to-heart conversation and connection. Her ability to spread love and kindness throughout my entire session did not go unnoticed as she mentioned her goal was to make me feel "complete" by the end. I highly recommend her services to any soul who is seeking guidance and spiritual understanding. She's legit.” ❈ cassidy t

“Had a wonderful experience.. she was very knowledgeable, caring, made me feel safe and tbh wanting more. I walked away very pleased with my decision choosing her and look forward to the next session and next course... thank you and will be in touch soon.. 🙏” ❈ brad h
