Yoga teacher, Breathwork facilitator, and intuitive guide to Self-discovery and Healing
Growing up, I always found solace in the nurturing woods of my grandparents' home back in Rhode Island. It might seem counterintuitive to find sanity by getting lost, but perhaps you can relate. What I was seeking was a reprieve from life. A moment to block out all the noise and to feel differently than what I felt inside. For so long I wanted to crawl out of my skin and disappear. In these moments when I wandered alone, I felt a type of peace come over me. Sometimes, it's necessary to wander off in order to rediscover ourselves. I'm here to tell you there is no shame in that and to personally welcome you back. I'm glad you're here!
You may wonder why I sought refuge in the woods. The truth is, my early life was marked by some pretty serious chaos. Each day carried with it a plentiful offering of fear and anxiety; a storm I wanted to outrun. Eventually, this longing for escape ended up contributing to a pretty decent setup for a long battle with drugs and alcohol.
After years of searching for something more and feeling like I kept coming up short, I made a few life-altering decisions. I ditched the drugs and the booze, left a toxic relationship, quit my job in the fashion industry, and moved from the greater New York area to the vastly opposite world of New Hampshire. For me, this was clearly a divine intervention. I flipped my world upside down which, you’d think would be wildly scary and IT WAS but, it was the first time I felt hope. It was like the sun came out again. I finally put my psychology degree to use and began a career in mental health and addiction; an area that I had clearly been gathering information on both educationally and personally. The search for “something more” was still underway and it was during this journey that the practices of yoga and Breathwork were introduced. I was ALL IN. These modalities completely shifted my relationship with Self and my outlook on the external world. I no longer felt the need to escape life. That in itself was enough for me to keep exploring and mannn, is the proof sure in the pudding.
Through Breathwork and yoga I became closer in union with my entire Being. This journey has taught me the invaluable skill of tuning into my intuition, allowing me to chase my dreams fearlessly and embrace life's monumental shifts with arms wide open.
Turning up the volume on my heart and intuition has led me on some seriously beautiful adventures, both physically and emotionally. Recently My partner and I made the bold decision to uproot our lives from New England and embark on a journey out West. This decision holds a special significance for me; it's a return to a place imbued with personal history and dreams long cherished. Following the call of our hearts has been nothing short of exhilarating.
My practice has helped my to reframe my entire life. To question what is and what is not working and then to DO SOMETHING about it. To be actively involved in creating a life that I am proud to live is a profound honor, not just to myself, but to the ancestors who paved the way and the younger version of me who dared to dream. Breaking the chains of generational and personal struggles is an integral part of my journey, a commitment written into the very fabric of my soul.
Now, I am passionately committed to sharing these healing modalities that have created such positive change in my own life. My ultimate intention is to empower, nourish, and heal the collective as I believe that our interconnectedness is what gives meaning to our existence.
Life is nothing short of a miracle. Each breath a testament to the infinite possibilities that surround us in every moment. Let us be willing to put in the work to awaken to what is possible. Starting today, let’s keep the miraculous on the table.
BIG LOVE,
Teri

"I had the good fortune to do multiple breathwork sessions with Teresa during the first half of 2023. She brought abundant love and energy to her teaching and intuitively knew what I needed. Whether it was compassionately helping me process old wounds or pushing me to break down unnecessary blocks, she provided incredible guidance. Teresa has a profound understanding of the interplay between the Spirit and the body and expertly guides clients to use their breath to help the healing process. I would recommend sessions with Teresa to anyone who is either looking to begin breathwork or to deepen an existing spiritual practice."

"Teresa has an amazing energy that comes through in her yoga teaching. She challenged me to remember that I can do hard things and that falling is a part of balance in yoga and in life. Her yoga classes are truly transformative and her infectious energy is motivating,"
Beth, New Hampshire
"I was fortunate to experience breathwork with Teri for the first time, and it's been a pivotal part of my healing journey. Teri's guidance made the practice accessible, and she assured me that there were no expectations. She even shared her own initial doubts, making me feel at ease. She offered options like sage or palo santo, explaining their differences, and introduced essential oils, though they were optional. After mastering the breathing technique, I reclined on my yoga mat, surrounded by soothing music and Teri's comforting voice. Tears flowed as I released pent-up emotions, and after 30 minutes, I entered an altered state, shedding light on something I needed to heal. Teri's empathetic understanding and ability to read body language created a safe space. She allowed me time to release, guided me into a fetal position, and eventually, I opened my eyes. Teri checked on my emotional state and gave me the freedom to reflect privately. I am immensely grateful for this transformative breathwork experience with Teri, and I look forward to continuing my healing journey with her."
Melissa, Boston
"Teri's calm, guided instruction during my Breathwork session helped me to feel a sense of relief while my stress melted away. She helped me to release my anxiety match with old wounds and feel peaceful. I also enjoyed the personal playlist of music that Teri made just for me during my session. (She even sent it to me after our session) She helped me to focus on my breaths and to relax. She was able to hold space for me. Really, I cannot say enough about how life changing breathwork with Terry has been for me. One hour of breathwork has felt more gratifying than therapy. I have spent years in therapy, the release that I had was Incredibly healing with her."
Alyssa, New Hampshire
"It's easy to teach a class like everybody else, but the Universe didn't design Teresa to be average and to follow the masses. That’s the type of teacher Teri is. Our classes were never average in fact It always felt as if she created an experience to stand out and help you step outside yourself. While still making you feel so grounded and supported. She creates a uniqueness that attracts a TRIBE to follow her. Offering multiple options for all Levels of yogis. While still challenging you. I feel like People aren't looking for same ol’ same ol’... They are looking for genuine. Flawed. Vulnerable. Fierce. Passionate. Not perfect. But with their individuality on Fire She is that, understands that and embraces it... It makes people flock to her . She is an inspired leader instead of a "fit in the box"leader. No mater what class she is teaching, she has a DO NOT hide your flaws and imperfections attitude. Embracing all the wobbles, because that's where strength and genius emerge to create something beautiful."
