Healing is multifaceted and begins from the inside out

I am here to support you to empower yourself.
Here to guide you towards your own inner-wisdom.
With every rigid opinion and way of thinking there is a medium point of equilibrium.
My role is to help you find that sweet spot of balance between effort and ease.
A pull out of complacency, a push towards proactiveness.
An awakening of your own intuition.

Urban

Keeps it relatable. Grounded in the reality of the modern lifestyle and what is accessible in your day to day. Extremes can shock the system, but the ideal is to integrate habits sustainably.

Shaman

Helps you let go of what doesn't serve you. Practices that allow you to feel where you are stagnant, where you are avoidant, where you’ve become lazy, and where you may be constricting from fear.

Mama

Strong but still soft. Nurturing you while urging you to grow and expand. Using wisdom, experience, and example to support you in being your best self.

Move

Movement creates a pathway into our deeper selves.
When we move our bodies we start to pull our attention away from the noise, the loops, and the buzzing of our mind, and bring our awareness into the present of what is going on in our systems right now.

GATHER

Our path may be ours alone, but the use of guides, the sharing of knowledge, and the reliance on community are timeless traditions. When we gather, in groups or with professionals, we are able to take the pressure off ourselves and tap into the wisdom that lays in the collective.

NOURISH

Food isn’t just about sustenance and nutrition.
It can be medicine. When our body feels warm, feels satiated, feels cared for, we transition from just feeding our body and cells to nourishing our spirit.

Honor

Our life is filled with powerful points of transformation that call to be recognized and honored with respect.
Through rituals we mark moments with meaning. We mourn, we celebrate, we reflect, and allow ourselves to be witnessed as we cross thresholds from one phase to the next.
Personalized Ritual Creation

MOTHER

Motherhood is a powerful time of transformation.
At each leg of the journey a woman needs support, connection, and a place for introspection. By creating space, we offer her the opportunity to awaken to herself.

Shai Ruben

My purpose is formulated around understanding what it truly means to be human, how that is connected to each individual’s personal health journey, and why life transitions can be such a ripe time for awakening.

My goal is to make you feel at home; in our practice, in your body, in the world. I have a Bachelors degree from Northwestern University in Human Biological Anthropology, a Masters degree from UCLA in Community Health Sciences (MPH), yoga certifications from all over the world, multiple doula trainings, and have been immersed in the world of leadership, meditation, nutrition, maternal support, and community empowerment for the better part of two decades.

Wellness is dynamic. It is a practice, a lifestyle, and a journey that stems from self-awareness. The more we understand ourselves, take care of ourselves, challenge ourselves and allow ourselves to be witnessed in moments of transformation, the stronger we fuel the alchemical process that creates the source of our most authentic power. 

I am here to guide.
