Welcome to SoulShine Studio
You are the beautiful darkness and the dazzling light and all the shades of
shadows in between. You are a reflection of the dichotomies that exist in this life
that make us choose and create who we are.
About Me
I am a mom, a Yoga instructor, and a spiritual intuitive. I feel my soul's purpose is to love others unconditionally, support and empower others, and help people navigate their life's journey.
I am passionate about the healing power of Yoga, and I would love to share with you the peace I have gained since making Yoga a priority in my daily life.
As we grow through life and experience emotional pain, we build walls to protect our hearts. In building these walls, we repress our emotions, distance ourselves from physical sensations, and turn away from our bodies, where conditioning and trauma are stored.When this occurs, our breathing becomes shallow, we become fearful, and our minds tend to take over. Yoga is a gentle, safe way to befriend your body again. It opens you up to listening to your body’s messages that tell us what we should do. Yoga has saved me more than once. It has given me a stronger body, clearer mind, open heart, and a more conscious relationship with God.
My favorite class to teach is a gentle Hatha flow. Hatha refers to balance--"Ha" represents the sun, hot, masculine, and strength energy. "Tha" represents the moon, cool, feminine, and calm energy. When these two energies within each of us are balanced, we are able to live life in peace. I focus on intentional breathing, which strengthens the connection to your Higher Power and your Higher Self. I believe our soul is in our breath--when you stop
breathing, your soul returns to Source--so bringing awareness to your breath brings an instant connection to Source. I also offer Yoga Nidra, which is an amazing guided Yogic meditation that takes you to Delta-the place between awake and asleep- where you can rest in the peace within.
Yoga is a practice that is proven to improve physical, spiritual, and mental health, but the true purpose of Yoga is to prepare us for meditation and communication with God. It is a deeply spiritual practice that has been life-changing for me. Come feel the difference Yoga can make in your life!
Life gets complicated and confusing sometimes, but communication with Spirit provides comfort and gives us strength to get through the hardest times. I feel called upon to use my abilities to bring peace to others. I believe the origin of psychic communication and the process of delivery are from God. My higher self and spirit guides bring messages for others in a sense of subtle 'knowing'. I feel the truth of the message in my heart and solar plexus chakras and in sensations throughout my body. I focus on the present to bring clarity to questions, concerns, or difficulties you’re currently facing, because the ‘Now’ is dynamic through choices we make, and the 'Now' is always positive when given perspective.
I am committed to honoring my Highest Power by loving all who come here unconditionally and providing services and products that can bring peace, inner strength, positivity, and balance to your life.
Namaste

Love Your Mother
Plant-Based/Zero-Waste
Bath/Shower Bars & Bubble Bath
Gaia
Have you ever taken time to really think about our Mother Earth? She is beautiful and strong, resilient, patient, and full of love. She expresses her emotions through magical sunrises, breathtaking sunsets, wild thunderstorms, a gentle breeze, brilliant sunshine, harsh blizzards, and gentle, rainy days. She gives us direction and keeps us grounded. She speaks if we listen. She is a living, breathing entity that sustains all life! Grounded in her presence, is where my peace lies, so, I try to be mindful of her well-being as I make day-to-day choices.
Love Your Mother
I created Love Your Mother! Bath and Shower Bars in honor of our beautiful Gaia to reduce my personal use of plastic and to ensure I was only using natural ingredients on my hair and body. I chose only plant-based ingredients to make them, and I started noticing my hair and skin looked and felt so much healthier. I replaced four plastic bottles with two of my bars, so I no longer had plastic bottles in my shower!! I didn't start out thinking this would become a business, but I knew I needed to share them. I researched and experimented for over a year before I found the perfect formulas that work for all skin and hair types. I carefully select the highest-quality ingredients that work together to beautifully cleanse and nourish your skin and hair. You will feel the difference the first time you use them!
Every Little Thing
Can Make a Big Difference
448 million tons of plastic are consumed globally every year .
75% of that ends up in landfills, landscapes, the ocean and waterways.
It takes 450 years for a plastic bottle to decompose--150 years for a plastic bag.
The average household buys 12 bottles each of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion each year. If you will choose bars over bottles, that's ~48 fewer plastic bottles/year polluting our beautiful earth!
Love Your Mother!!
Switch to plant-based, zero-waste
bath and shower bars!
I hope you love them!!
