๐โจ TODAY, GOD DID IT! โจ๐
Today, I can officially say that I have completed my Master of Science in YOGA THERAPY! ๐๐ฝ๐ญโค๏ธ
Two years of learning, growing, researching, serving, practicing, writing, presenting, stretching beyond my comfort zone, and trusting God through every step, and TODAY, I made it!
First and foremost, I give all honor and glory to GOD. ๐๐ฝ Thank You, Lord, for ordering my steps, strengthening me when I was tired, opening doors I could not have opened for myself, and reminding me that this journey was bigger than me.
To my husband, my children, my family, and my friends, THANK YOU. โค๏ธ Thank you for your patience, sacrifices, encouragement, prayers, and for continuing to believe in me throughout these entire two years.
To every volunteer who trusted me during my community outreach and clinical experiences, THANK YOU for allowing me to learn with you, serve you, and grow into the practitioner I am today. You became an important part of this journey.
To the faculty at Notre Dame of Maryland University, thank you for giving me the space to be authentically ME, including allowing me to represent my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ throughout my work and education. Thank you for challenging me academically, encouraging my ideas, and helping me discover the researcher inside of me. Becoming an award-winning researcher was something I NEVER imagined for myself, but here we are! ๐ฅน๐
And to my classmates who remained true to me throughout this journey, THANK YOU. โค๏ธ Thank you to those who studied with me, encouraged me, helped me push through the difficult moments, and stood beside me as I remained true to my faith and my beliefs. Thank you to those who never asked me to be anything other than who I am, who respected what I stood for, and who simply loved on me as ME. The genuine friendships, laughter, encouragement, late-night studying, conversations, and support will always be a special part of these two years. I am grateful that God placed each of you along my path, and I will carry those memories with me far beyond graduation. ๐โค๏ธ๐๐ฝ
And to every single person who encouraged me, checked on me, prayed for me, celebrated the small victories, shared my work, supported my projects, and believed in the wellness mission, THANK YOU. I felt your love.
Soโฆwhat is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga therapy is the individualized, therapeutic application of movement, breathing, mindfulness, relaxation, and other mind-body practices to support a personโs health, well-being, and functional goals. It is adapted to the individual and can complement, not replace, appropriate medical or mental health care.
And this is only the beginning. ๐ฑ
I am now offering Therapeutic Movement sessions at Exceptional Counseling and Wellness - private https://www.exceptionalcw.com/ and in corporate settings, bringing the tools I have studied, practiced, researched, and used throughout my clinical training into spaces where people can learn to move, breathe, reconnect, and create calm.
Today, God has blessed me with myโฆ

And I MASTERED IT! ๐๐ฝ๐โค๏ธ
To God be ALL the glory.
