For the past twelve years Deanna has devoted her life to the healing arts, yoga, and meditation. After an abrupt career change from engineering, Deanna quickly saw a new path and a new way unfold before her. She would learn that to follow the wisdom of the heart, when making choices in life, is to follow a path of joy that will lead to a life of happiness and contentment.

Deanna continually gives and receives healing and inspiration through her massage practice, through her yoga and meditation practice, through these teachings, and through sharing these teachings with others.

YOGA & MEDITATION

Deanna is a certified and registered yoga and meditation instructor. She has been a regular practitioner of yoga and meditation for over a decade. Her background includes classic Hatha, Ashtanga, Iyengar, and Kundalini Yoga. Deanna draws from this background to create inspiring heart-centered, alignment based classes incorporating creative and often spontaneous sequencing. Her meditation and spiritual practice is a culmination of years of self-inquiry as well as drawing from the teachings of Satya Sai Baba, Amma Karunamayi and Paramhansa Yogananda. Her practice deepened exponentially after her first trip to India, an encounter with Satya Sai Baba, and studying extensively with Amma Karunamayi.

MASSAGE

Deanna’s work in the healing arts has grown and evolved over the last twelve years. She is a nationally certified and licensed massage therapist with a full-time successful private practice in Santa Fe and Eldorado, New Mexico for twelve years. She specializes in an intuitive and relaxing deep muscle and connective tissue massage, relieving chronic pain, and facilitating the recovery of soft tissue injuries. Deanna has over 1500 hours of training in massage therapy and various other adjuncts including myofacial structural bodywork, treatments for soft tissue injuries, energy therapy, reflexology, aromatherapy and herbal medicine. Deanna customizes each session to incorporate a variety of the forenamed modalities or administers them independently to meet one’s particular needs. Increasingly, her massage practice is moving into the realm of sacred touch healing.

Deanna aspires to bring practical, insightful, and intuitive knowledge to all of her sessions… massage, yoga and meditation.
