Yoga, Meditation and Reiki
“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”
Viktor Frankl
Stress is a natural part of life and an essential part of how our nervous system learns and adapts. But when stress becomes chronic—shaped by habits, environments, and sometimes unresolved trauma—it can condition the body into patterns of tension, fatigue, anxiety, and overwhelm. With mental and emotional health challenges increasingly recognized as nervous system challenges, learning to regulate our internal experience is a key foundation of resilience.
Evidence continues to show that body-based practices can support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and overall well-being. Practices such as yoga, meditation, breathwork, and therapeutic relaxation have been shown to support autonomic regulation, improve vagal tone, reduce stress hormones, enhance interoception (the ability to feel internal states), and increase emotional capacity. These practices help us move beneath surface-level reactions and connect with the systems that govern safety, calm, attention, and connection.
As a Reiki Master and certified Yoga and Meditation instructor, I draw on training and learning gathered internationally, combined with trauma-informed clinical practice. Together, we explore approaches that support nervous system balance, resilience, and embodied presence. Depending on your needs, our work may include:
breath practices that influence autonomic regulation
grounding, centering, and interoceptive awareness
nervous-system-informed yoga and mindful movement
restorative practices that support down-regulation and repair
techniques that gently stimulate parasympathetic (vagal) calming
spacious stillness practices that help the system reorganize and integrate
Reiki as an additional supportive modality for nervous system settling, symptom ease, and subtle body awareness
There is no “one-size-fits-all” pathway. Different bodies respond to different practices at different times. This work is not about performance, perfection, or spiritual bypassing. It is about cultivating regulation, capacity, and connection in a way that honors your timing, your system, and your lived experience.
Think of this as an invitation to discover practices that help your nervous system breathe again…without needing to become a full-time yogi to benefit.
“When I started private yoga and meditation sessions with Bianca, I had trouble sleeping, and experienced anxiety and stress. I work the suicide line, and was feeling really overwhelmed. Bianca was calming and gentle, and gave me space to process my stress. She showed me effective yoga practices, some breathing techniques for my energetic body type, and taught me how to meditate without putting pressure on myself. I was also curious about Reiki, and after a couple of sessions, I started sleeping better. I am still regularly using the tools she gave me, and feel calmer and more confident. My mental health has definitely improved. Bianca is insightful and gentle, and truly cares about the people she works with.”
