Since 2019, Your Recovery, LLC has partnered with residential treatment centers in Northeast Ohio to bring movement-based, holistic wellness programs to individuals recovering from substance use and mental health challenges. What began with just three residential homes and two passionate staff has grown into a full team delivering proven care to multiple facilities.

We have one mission: transformative healing through lived experiences, movement modalities, mindfulness, and 12-step principles.

In 2023, she received her first 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training with specializations in Restorative yoga, Integrative Wellness and Trauma-Informed Yoga and a 50-hour Level I Aromatherapist training.
