Our healing events and curriculum serve as a cheat sheet for you to not to have to go through the lengthy and expensive process of discovering the various tools and practices available for healing.
Our monthly classes guide you through various modalities so you can easily learn and use whatever works best for you.
Our Instructor
My name is Yasmine Aker, and I will be your instructor. I am dedicated to helping you develop a sustainable and fulfilling practice.
My formal education is in psychology, chemistry, somatic trauma release exercises, reiki energy healing, early child development, music, music therapy and eastern chanting. I have over fifteen years of teaching experience and a wealth of experiential knowledge and expertise in healing modalities. I also host mental health advocacy events for at risk communities.
By trade, I am an actress. You may recognize me from television, where I play the role of Angelica on Hulu's Good Trouble. You may also recognize my voice from some of your favorite video games.
My life's passion to help people find their alignment.
Struggling with my own mental health and past trauma led me to the start of my own healing journey. I had been living my whole life, as many of us do, avoiding the painful traumas of my past. A series of unfortunate events, including an MS misdiagnosis, my father's death, and a heartbreaking divorce, finally led me down the path of healing.
I explored various modalities such as yoga, meditation, EMDR, TMS, conventional therapy, and various alternative medicines. My quest to heal led me to TRE, mindfulness practice, music therapy, a somatic therapy apprenticeship, reiki certifications, ayahuasca and psilocybin ceremonies, silent retreats, and becoming a Zen Buddhist.
I share my experiences and insights openly, offering workshops that integrate multiple healing approaches and modalities such as sound healing, breathwork, somatic therapy, movement, meditation, and traditional mental health tools to empower people on their healing journey. Although I have a deep reverence for spirituality, my teachings bias toward research and science-backed modalities with strong supporting data.
My suffering has become my offering and my gift to you. My suffering has not only led to transformative growth for myself but also for those around me.
"The paradox about trauma is that it has both the power to destroy and the power to transform"
-- Dr. Peter Levine
