And, living embodiment of what’s possible when you reclaim your power and experience being in charge of your own well-being.
Hi!
My name is Jocelyn, and I help women reclaim their power and sovereignty in the area of their health & wellbeing.
In the process, they fall madly in love with themselves, their living, and their lives.
They experience radiance, vitality, and aliveness, sometimes for the very first time in their lives.
It was Thanksgiving of 2019, and there I lay, on my grandmother’s couch, with a cast from my toes to mid-calf. I had just had surgery to fix the bones of my foot with screws and a plate.
It made me stop everything; I became dependent on others, I was forced to slow all the way down, and more than anything, I spent a lot of time at home with myself. I realized that I was moving SO fast in life. And for what?!
See, I experienced many adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and became fiercely independent, taking care of everything myself. I became a perfectionist, thinking that that was how I ought to earn my parents’ love. I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety, Panic Disorder, and had symptoms of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I was burnt out, stressed out, and dried up, just like you.
I AM YOU.
I SEE YOU.
I KNOW YOU.
Back to my broken foot.
I turned to meditation to alleviate the burden of this sudden trauma.
I began to immerse myself in Chakra Theory, and worked on my own energetic system.
I became a 500-hour registered yoga teacher, and have since amassed several distinctions in the world of wellness.
My physical yoga practice became part of my physical therapy.
Over the years, I have gotten the symptoms of my Generalized Anxiety, Panic Disorder, and CPTSD symptoms completely under control through yoga, the science of Ayurveda and other holistic wellness methods.
I have personally healed physical, emotional, and mental traumas. I’ve completely transformed my relationship to my own body, and no longer suffer from eating disorders that plagued me for years. I went from being an angry child (and adult) with violent tendencies who lashed out at others, to a compassionate being who is healing the world and making a profound difference for others.
I am a living, breathing embodiment of what’s possible when you take your well-being into your own hands, and it is an honor and privilege to hold space for others to do the same.
You can feel whole again.
In fact,
You are already whole.
It’s time to take back your power in the area of your health & well-being.
Come fall madly in love with yourself, your living, and your life!

My Experience
I am a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider, and a Certified Children’s Yoga Instructor. I have been personally practicing yoga since I was 15. I have been teaching yoga to young people and teens since 2019. I hold certifications in chair yoga, prenatal yoga, restorative yoga, and I specialize in chakra yoga. I have facilitated and lead yoga teacher trainings since 2020. I am an Ayurvedic Professional who fully transitioned into an Ayurvedic lifestyle in 2022. My Ayurvedic training is grounded in Feminine-form Tantric practices designed to support optimal health and well-being for women. I lead seasonal Ayurvedic cleanses, and have supported numerous people in adopting the science of Ayurveda to heal their bodies, minds, and spirits. I am trained in several Shamanic practices (journeying, calling in your spirit animals, ancestral alignment), and practice the ancestral gift of mediumship that runs through both maternal and paternal lineages. I am a classically trained musician and use a variety of instrumentation in my sound healing work. I am also a certified Thai Yoga Massage and Thai Yoga Bodywork Practitioner.
My Approach
All of my work is firmly grounded in indigenous practices, and honors the ancestry and history of each lineage. I come from a long line of espiritistas and santeros, and carry Taíno blood from the island of Borikén (Puerto Rico). As beings, I believe that we are far more than our bodies and our personalities. We are even far more than our thoughts. We exist as a conglomerate of mind, body, and being. Whether I am facilitating a yoga class, working privately with a client, or simply holding space for someone’s personal discovery, I am always far more concerned with the individual as a whole. I believe that whole-body wellness exists at the intersection of Western medicine, Eastern practices, and holistic healing. I take into account your past, present, and future, while working with what’s happening now, and from there we create action steps for you to take that give you the results you’re looking for. I am passionate about people validating anger and rage as part of the total human experience. I specialize in psychospiritual wellness, which looks at the decisions people have subconsciously made that are inherently at the source of why they haven’t been able to fully heal.
