History of Yamuna Body Rolling
Yamuna Body Rolling (YBR) was invented by Yamuna Zake in New York City in 1979. She is one incredible woman. I had the privilege of meeting her in April 2017. I received my certification from Yamuna herself at that time. This was an amazing hands on training, and receiving of treatments. I have been doing Table Treatments with amazing successful results. In the summer of 2018 I obtained my YBR Practitioner certification which allowed me to begin instructing YBR. This is a full body, functional movement workout where I teach you how to access all of your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones to achieve proper alignment, improved body function, and awareness.
I traveled to Florida in April 2019 to receive a certification in “face ball”. Face Ball rolling is an incredible modality. The same concepts used in rolling are applied to the face, head, and neck to relieve TMJ, stress, tension, migraine headaches etc. I currently teach YBR-Head, Neck, Face every 1st Sunday fo the month at 11:30-12pm. Treatments in YBR-Head, Neck, Face are available as well.
I traveled to the Cayman Islands in January 2020 for my foot fitness certification. I personally stumbled upon this work many years ago when I had horrible Planter Fasciitis. I was working as a CNA and was always on my feet which made it impossible to heal my feet. I found Laura Flanagan and Yamuna Body Rolling. Laura has mentored me for several years and I took over her rolling class when she moved to Costa Rica in 2018 to start her retreat center. With Yamuna body rolling, I have been able to improve every area of my body. Currently, I am using YBR to recover from my car accident this past July 2019. I will continue to strive forward, and I look forward to working with each one of you on your life goals!

Body-Rolling (Full Body Treatment)
This modality is completely unique! I received my certification and table treatments from Yamuna Zake. It uses a different size balls and my hands. I release your body and both sides at the same time for a deeper more balanced release. We will work together to align bone, ligaments, and tendons. We will then release the muscles, allowing the body to find a balanced state. As the root issue is resolved, we will rebuild a balanced foundation from the feet up. The session will teach you how to maintain your healing through YBR self-care practices which can be done later at home.
Head, Neck, Face Body Rolling Treatment
Realign, rejuvenate, relax! Head, neck, face treatments are particularly good for chronic migraines, concussions, tensions/TMJ of jaw, eyestrain, hearing issues, some forms of dizziness, wrinkles (and old looking skin). Jaw treatments can be done internally for a deeper release when grinding and tension have occurred. These treatments are completed using two balls: One for the back of your head and one for everywhere else. This may be the most relaxing and spa like treatment offered. It’s pure bliss!
Feet Focus Rolling Treatment
Is every step you take causing pain or discomfort? Come in for a foot and gait analysis. We will assess what’s going on and where the problem is stemming from. After we isolate the areas of concern we will begin to breakdown the areas of concern and rebuild a healthy strong foot bed. Creating function and freedom with every step you take!
