School of Sacred Practice
A community of practice to live from the ground of your own sacred nature
Hand over heart: I see you.
As a coach, therapist, healer, or creative, I know you find deep meaning through pouring your love into the world through your work. You know what transformation looks like because you've witnessed it, facilitated it, and you’ve experienced it yourself. Yet here you are, running on fumes and stuck in overdrive, always putting yourself and the woman you long to be on the back burner while you make sure everyone and everything else gets taken care of first.
You want to be better with money, in your business, in the way you take care of yourself, in your relationships, in your creative expression. You have this vision of who you are ready to become—you can almost touch her. But every time you reach for her, something pulls you back to the old pattern where everyone else's needs come first, and your own truth comes last.
The people-pleasing, the perfectionism, the constant override of your body's wisdom, the guilt when you even think about putting yourself first—sister, these wounds you're carrying are ancient and intergenerational. They were handed down to you by women who had no other choice, who learned that their survival depended on making themselves small and quiet and last.
The question I want to ask you is this: what if you could finally put it down?
What if you gave yourself permission—real permission, not just the idea of it—to put yourself and the wisdom of your body and soul first, to listen to what your life has been trying to tell you? What if you could give yourself space for sacred rest so your own truth could finally surface? What if you had the energy, the clarity, and the confidence to move in the direction of your dreams instead of deferring them for someday that never quite arrives?
The School of Sacred Practice is where this becomes possible.
You are welcome to the School’s monthly rhythm of intentional, embodied rest held in community, where the ancient pattern of abandoning yourself finally unravels. You embody the truth that rest isn't weakness or selfishness but the very ground that heals your nervous system, releases unconscious patterns of wounding you didn't even choose, and reconnects you with your deepest wisdom and the sacred.
Join us for the kind of rest that opens the heart and clears the mind to reveal your next right step. This is practice that connects you with your wisest, most authentic self and opens you to the support and presence of the divine and your sacred intuition. Become the woman who trusts herself, honors her rhythms, and moves through life with the energy and clarity to live your vision—not someday, but now.
Welcome to the School of Sacred Practice.
“Practice, and all is coming.” -Pattabhi Jois
Most of us know what it's like to drop into a yoga class or open a meditation app and feel a little better for a while, but the real magic of practice isn't in the hour on the mat or the ten minutes on the cushion. The real magic is in how breath and movement and stillness reshape who you are when you move back into your life. The real magic is in a regulated nervous system that allows you to hear what your body is telling you. The real magic is how practice helps you blossom into the woman you want to be.
The School of Sacred Practice isn't a class you take and then check off your list—it's a living rhythm that supports you in being a woman who listens to her body, trusts her truth, and shows up steady, present, and resourced for her dreams. That's why we practice together, not to get better at poses or techniques but to weave intention and breath and movement and reflection into the very fabric of your life.
The woman you want to be doesn't appear just because you wish for her.
She arrives through practice.
It's Me, Nona
I know this journey intimately because I've lived it — this isn't just theory or something I read in a book. In my twenties, I was chaotic and anxious with zero spiritual practices, and I knew I wasn't acting in my own best interests but had no idea how to change. My first yoga class at 24 was what set me on the path of transformation through practice. Through yoga, I began to understand how practice could be transformative in ways that went far beyond the mat.
The deep, lasting changes began to happen when I learned to extend that sacred approach beyond the yoga studio and into the rest of my life—how to make the mundane rhythms of life sacred, from the way I move my body to how I handle money, from spiritual practices to daily routines. I discovered that sustainable change happens through embodied practice, not through willpower or forcing myself to be different (which never worked, anyway).
Over the past two decades my body has been my most reliable guide through addiction recovery (I've been sober for 24 years), chronic pain (now resolved), building a thriving business, moving all over the world, parenting a wonderful human, and healing from childhood trauma. This is why I created the School of Sacred Practice, because I know firsthand what it's like to abandon yourself again and again, hoping that this time, it will make everything okay. I also know the freedom that comes when you learn to be on your own side through practice, support, and community.
My background as a master certified coach with a master's degree in psychology, a certified yoga therapist, an energy healing practitioner, and a former CPA means I weave together the practical and the mystical. I know what it takes to create sustainable transformation that changes your life, and I know how to hold space for the messy middle where everything feels uncertain. This work isn't about perfection—it's about practice, and I'm honored to walk this path with you.
We begin with intention.
Each month begins with a simple ritual that grounds everything we do together: the invitation to create a personal altar and set your intention. By setting your intention and creating a small physical reminder of it, you're saying something radical: I matter, my life is meaningful, I choose to be on my own side.
We gather together each month to bring that intention alive each month through the rhythm of practice, refinement, and integration.
Embodied Practice
Two weeks each month are devoted to live, embodied practice in 75-minute sessions that weave together therapeutic movement, breathwork, yoga nidra, and deep rest. These are slow, intentional practices designed specifically to support generative, healing rest, and connection to your wisest Self. Each session includes time for check-ins so you leave feeling grounded, calm, and energized.
Reflect & Refine
One week of our monthly calls is dedicated to teaching and coaching, where we connect the dots between what's happening in your practice and what's showing up in your life. We gather for a 60-minute call to reflect, share, and explore how the practices are supporting your daily rhythms, your choices, and your intentions. It's part coaching, part community circle, and often where the biggest insights land.
Integrate
One week each month we take a beat from our live sessions, and this is your chance to make the practice your own, to carry it into your life without the group and notice what shifts. You'll have prompts and gentle guidance and space to explore how your practice belongs to you, because ultimately this work is about building your capacity to practice on your own while knowing you have community support when you need it.
Why The School of Sacred Practice Now?
We’re living through a collective unraveling of the world as we’ve known it. Life often feels heavy, uncertain, and overwhelming. Our bodies—wise vessels that they are—are carrying so much: stress, grief, uncertainty, the constant hum of “what’s next?”
And sister—your joy, your vision, and your well-being matter deeply right now.
That’s why this work is more than self-care. It’s the foundation that allows you to move through these times with steadiness, clarity, and presence.
As you move through the School, you’ll notice shifts that ripple into every part of your life:
You’ll listen to your body’s signals and honor them instead of pushing past.
Your daily rhythms will begin to feel meaningful—whether it’s how you start your morning or how you make choices about money, work, and relationships.
You’ll take action with clarity and calm, instead of from reactivity.
You’ll feel genuinely resourced—not because life is suddenly easy, but because you have practices that steady you.
You’ll move through the world with more presence, joy, and trust in yourself.
This is what happens when you stop abandoning yourself and begin to fiercely be on your own side—through practice, reflection, and integration that meet you where you are and support you in where you’re going.
I Know. Rest Feels Really Hard Right Now.
Let me be honest with you about what might be coming up as you read this, because the idea of rest—real, intentional, embodied rest—probably brings up resistance that feels very real and very justified.
If I stop, I'll fall apart. If I feel what I'm carrying, it will be too much. Rest is lazy, rest is selfish, rest means I'm not enough. These fears make absolute sense because you've survived by staying busy, by keeping it together, by making sure everyone else is okay. Stopping long enough to land in your body and feel what's there—the grief, the exhaustion, the anger, the truth you've been avoiding—feels terrifying because it is vulnerable and it does ask something of you.
But here's what I know from two decades of guiding women through this work: the feelings don't go away because you keep moving, they just get heavier and more insistent. And the woman you're meant to be, the one who trusts herself and honors her rhythms and moves through life with clarity and presence, she can't emerge while you're running because she needs you to rest—not as escape, but as arrival.
This kind of rest isn't passive and it isn't collapsing on the couch or numbing out with Netflix. This is intentional, held, embodied rest that allows what's stuck to move, what's heavy to release, and what's true to surface. This is the rest that's deeply generative, the rest that opens your heart and clears your mind and reveals your next right step, the rest that reconnects you with your wisest self—the one who knows what you need before your mind catches up.
This is the rest that opens you to the divine presence and sacred intuition that have been waiting for you to slow down enough to listen, and you don't do it alone because you're held in community and guided by practice and supported every step of the way.
Does that feel like a sign of relief?
Mind-Body Medicine for Your Modern Life
The School of Sacred Practice is not your weekly yoga class. It’s not a meditation app. It’s not another self-paced program you’ll struggle to finish.
This is body–mind medicine for our times.
Yoga is energy medicine. It enlivens the deep knowing that lives in your bones, awakens the intuition buried under daily survival, and reconnects you with the wisdom your body has always held. When you stand up from our sessions, refreshed and nourished, you’ll feel clear about what matters most to you and for you.
Our weekly sessions are built on therapeutic yoga—breath, movement, and stillness that offer deeply compassionate embodiment practices that help you:
Release tension and stress. Our shoulders, backs, and nervous systems are literally carrying the weight of a world in upheaval. Gentle practices that actually release this tension (rather than adding pressure to “fix” yourself) offer real relief when everything else feels overwhelming.
See your patterns clearly. Old strategies like people-pleasing, pushing through, and ignoring your body may have helped you survive, but they don’t serve who you’re becoming. Practice helps you unravel those patterns so you can respond to life instead of react.
Stay present with complexity. These times require us to hold grief and joy, collapse and possibility, fear and hope—all at once. Practice builds your capacity to stay with what’s real without being overwhelmed by it.
Trust your body’s wisdom. In an age of information overload, your body knows what’s true for you before your mind catches up. These practices reconnect you with your inner truth so you can make aligned choices with more ease.
Practice power with, not power over your own sweet body. When we learn to move with our bodies rather than against them, we don’t just heal ourselves—we model a different way of being. We become living examples of the collaborative, compassionate world we want to create. The personal truly is political, and it starts in the body.
This is medicine for navigating life in these times.
Are you ready to enroll in The School?
Each month, we’ll move with a rhythm that mirrors real life: practice, reflection, integration, rest.
Here’s how it flows:
Two weeks of embodied practice. We’ll gather for 75-minute sessions of therapeutic movement, breath, and stillness. These aren’t typical yoga classes—they’re slow, intentional practices designed around the month’s theme. Each session includes time for check-ins and integration, so you leave feeling grounded and supported.
One week of coaching + community. This is where we connect the dots. We’ll gather for a 60-minute call to reflect, share, and explore how the practices are showing up in your daily life—your choices, your relationships, your rhythms. It’s part coaching, part community circle, and often where the biggest insights land.
One week of integration. This is your chance to make the practice your own—to carry it into your life without the group, noticing what shifts when you’re not held every week. You’ll have prompts, gentle guidance, and space to explore how your practice belongs to you.
Connection and teachings on Heartbeat. Through it all, you will have access to ongoing conversation and support through Heartbeat.
This cycle repeats each month, giving you both consistency and spaciousness—a rhythm of support that strengthens your capacity to practice on your own, while still being held in community.
You’ll learn to listen more deeply to your body’s language, honor its rhythms, and discover the quiet strength that comes when you stop forcing and start practicing compassion with yourself.
The School of Sacred Practice isn’t a class. It’s a container that helps you move through the world with presence, discernment, and fierce compassion—for the woman you are becoming.
Investment: $108 per month
The number 108 is sacred in yoga tradition—108 beads on a mala, 108 sun salutations, 108 Upanishads.
It represents the journey to completion and your highest self. Your monthly investment reflects this sacred commitment to your own becoming.

What women say about this work
“I swear there is one thing that emerges from each session that literally changes my relationship with life.
And the best part is that it’s deepening my embodiment practices in such a gentle and profound way. I know I’ll forever carry what I’ve learned and practiced with Nona’s mastery of mind, body, and spirit. The work helped to ease specific pain in my body while restoring me to a more natural state of balance. I couldn’t recommend this kind of body-centered healing enough.”
-Stacey Andon, Master Coach
“Therapeutic group sessions with Nona have been such an impactful, healing experience.
As someone with an autoimmune condition and chronic pain, I’ve learned so much about listening to my body’s signals rather than pushing past them. The live sessions and community in between helped me relearn how to be with this sweet body that I inhabit. I loved the way Nona wove everyone’s needs together while still honoring each of us as whole. The circle of goodness she creates is something rare and deeply supportive.”
-Helen Samson Mullen, PhD.
“Working with Nona has been such a healing experience.
The combination of coaching with movement was exactly what I needed while navigating new territory in my life. Her approach is gentle, wise, and deeply supportive.”
-Jennifer Visitacion, Leadership Coach
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I will record the sessions, but given the nature of the classes via Zoom, it's simply better if you can be there in person.
Please know that every movement class we begin and end with connection and reflection. Though movement, breath, and stillness is how we spend a large part of any given session the connection itself is part of the empowering, healing equation. You will benefit from being there and so will we. -
Former students often tell me that the groups I bring together are some of the safest they’ve ever experienced. I strive to create safety through consent and personal autonomy for everyone. However, that doesn’t mean you won’t be uncomfortable because that is often (if not always) part of our growth and learning.
If you have questions about feeling safe, please reach out. I’m happy to speak with you about your concerns and address them. -
The investment you make for the The School is non-refundable.
