Rebecca Schol
I started my mindfulness journey in 2007 with the practice of Bikram Yoga, wanting to heal the body and mind from collegiate sports, clinical depression, and anxiety. I was then introduced by a fellow practitioner to Vipassana, a form of meditation, from there my world opened up to other mindfulness practices- Ashtanga, Kundalini, and Reiki to name a few.
I understand what it is like to have crippling anxiety, I understand not wanting to leave the house. I understand how to move past anxiety and depression by using integrative medicine practices.
My offerings are designed to help bring balance back to the body, mind and spirit, helping you move past life’s traumas.
I am certified in Hatha Yoga(2009) and Energy Healing(2009).
Kimmy Braget
An empathetic energy and sound healer whose gift at holding space not only benefits the receiver but also is shared in her Reiki teacher training as she missions her passion to extend the healing arts to her community. Being born and raised in Ventura, while raising 3 children, and working full time in the mental health field has allowed not only her magnetism but also her layered training in marketing and business leadership to reach multiple generations of people at different venues between Ventura and Santa Barbara County. I have been practicing reiki for over 7 years and has been teaching reiki since 2023. Sound was an addition to my healing practice over a year ago after experiencing many incredible personal shifts and her combination of warmth, high integrity and ingenuity along with her advanced skill set, lends her clients to have expansive healing experiences as she aids them on their healing journeys. In Kimmy's free time, you will find her replenishing herself at the beach, hiking trails or with her friends and family.
Nikki Nicoletto Michels
16 years ago, I was at a crossroads in my life. I was lost. I was self-loathing, I was drinking too much. I was in a dark place. It was at that point when I first discovered yoga. Little by little I started to step into my light. I stopped drinking. I found Kundalini. I can truly say it saved my life. Through practicing yoga, I was able to love myself. I lost weight, I started to feel better about who I was on the inside, as well as the outside.
Today, I am more than a yoga instructor, I am a deeply caring teacher who uses the Kundalini system to impart the same gifts of strength and awareness that Kundalini has given me to all of my students. I teach yoga to show people their inner strength and that all they need to overcome challenges in life is within them already. I show people how to go into themselves to find light and self-love. I also use sound healing, movement, and meditation techniques to offer holistic and substantial methods of self-care to my students, or as I lovingly call them “my people.”
I am certified in Kundalini Yoga, Hatha Yoga, and Reiki. I have added certifications in Conscious Communication, Vitality & Stress, and Mind & Meditation.
