WE ARE EVOLUTION COUNSELING AND YOGA
Welcome
Offering holistic wellness services for the mind, body, and spirit in Medina, Ohio. Our integrative approach parallels the current research and shift in the field guided by the principles that human beings are made to be well and interactions between the mind, body, and spirit have a profound impact on well-being. Evolution Counseling and Yoga empowers individuals with the tools and support necessary for wellness: “a conscious, self-directed, and evolving process of achieving full potential”- National Wellness Institute. Wellness is a dynamic process of change and growth. Everything we do, think, sense, and feel relates to our well-being. In turn, our well-being directly affects our thoughts, actions, sensations, and emotions. It’s an ongoing loop. When we achieve our optimal wellness, we subdue stress, reduce the risk of illness and live our best lives with lasting positive changes. Our clinicians are trained in integrative, approaches to wellness. We offer individual and couple psychotherapy services, trauma informed yoga classes, meditation, and reiki.
You…
We believe you, yes YOU, are designed for wellness, in mind, body, and spirit. You have a predisposition to being well. You were meant to not only survive but thrive. You have the capacity to heal yourself. You know this, sense this, feel this, or experience this to be true on some level. You have a voice, perhaps a whisper somewhere deep down within or maybe screaming out loud affirming your capacity for wellness, your hunger for it. You have a story, a journey filled with thousands of life experiences. Some have brought you closer to your voice, some further away. Your voice called you here, now. You deserve to fully embody your true self in mind, body, and spirit. When you feel your true self, you have a greater freedom within yourself, relationships, and the world. You are a human being, developing, becoming, forging, refining. You are evolving towards your true self.
“Living never wore one out so much as the effort not to live.” -Anais Nin
