Movement has been a part of my life in some form for as long as I can remember. It is my go-to when I am stressed or overwhelmed as it leaves me feeling good in my body and is a great energy release! I truly believe that we should be able to move in a variety of ways regardless of our current state. One of my mantras is to meet your body where you are and help you get to where you want to be. My style of coaching is a collection of tidbits from all aspects of movement I have learned about such as functional training, yoga, pilates, gymnastics, powerlifting, corrective exercise work, and more. The more versatile your training, the more versatile you become as a human. Injuries can happen however, I can help you problem-solve to figure out what pieces you may need to add to your training to reduce re-injury.

Since having my son in 2019, I gained even more appreciation and awe for what the human body goes through during pregnancy. This past year I completed my Pregnancy and Postpartum Coaching Certification with Brianna Battles allowing me the in-depth knowledge needed to coach those through and post-pregnancyy. In my spare time, I love to be creative; I love writing, doodling, painting, and making macrame jewelry! I also love to Hula Hoop, explore with my son (he just turned 3!), be near the ocean, listen to podcasts, and always be  down to learn something new!

I grew up playing team sports and never realized how nice it was to have an automatic way of staying active and feeling healthy. As each new chapter in my life started, I realized there was an ebb and flow to how much time I could spend on self-care and wellness.

Physical therapy should be able to fit into any life regardless of other commitments. Whether it’s doing balance work while you brush your teeth or postural exercises while you work at your standing desk; I believe there are always a few minutes we can find each day that can have an impact.

These days I like to balance my energy by going for walks in Magnolia or doing Yoga. In the winter, I take every opportunity I can to go skiing with my family! What has changed is that now my fingers are always crossed that I come home unscathed. Of course, there are always impromptu dance parties in the kitchen, a great way to burn off some steam!

Living in Gloucester has been one of the best life experiences I’ve had so far. The community is diverse and wholesome, and it seems like there has been a conscious embrace of wellness services. Becoming a part of that community of practitioners is a privilege and I have set my standards high in terms of patient care. Every day we make choices about how to spend our time and some days are easier than others on how we can prioritize our own health and well-being. If I can be a part of making those choices easier then I know I have done my job well.

(She/They), Spiritual Name: Shakti Teja Kaur; LMT, Reiki Master (RMT), CSLC

I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) and a Reiki Master/Teacher (RMT) for over a dozen years, practicing and holding space for people in various states around the country. My style of massage is well-rounded and adaptable to my client's needs. Offering intensive focus work to chronic pain spots, injuries/surgeries, and overall a restorative therapeutic experience for the body. I often incorporate tuning forks and reiki into my massage sessions. 

I have been a Western Astrologer longer than I have been a massage therapist. Doing birth chart readings before the instant gratification of the internet, going to my local library and borrowing books to draw out birth charts by hand. In recent years, I have taken courses with local astrologers such as Grace Harrington Murdoch and Jessica D’Angio to strengthen and keep the language of astrology active. Since the COVID pandemic, I have witnessed a rise in people’s interest in astrology to learn more about it and how it can help you. Astrology is not all about prediction, but rather a map letting us take a close look at the fine details of our life and self-psychology. The famous psychologist Carl Jung had a chart done for every one of his clients. 

Kundalini yoga pairs perfectly with my years of experience with astrology, reiki, and massage therapy. In 2020 during the COVID pandemic, I started a virtual yoga journey with a few different yoga teachers. Kundalini yoga stood out for me above the rest. Providing chanting, dancing, breathwork, and much more. Kundalini has changed my life and the transformations carry on. I was so moved by what I was experiencing physically and mentally as a result of daily practices, that there was a strong call for me to do a teacher training (200 hours) in 2021. In 2022, I started teaching classes, sharing this life-awakening yoga practice. 

An immense amount of gratitude for all the teachers in my life. I will forever be a student, continuously learning. It is truly a blessing to connect you all to this knowledge. I can’t keep it all to myself. I like to offer a comfortable, supportive, safe space for all to process what you need from your physical body to your magnetic/auric fields. I would like to offer you an anchor while you are on your own personal voyage.
