Nurture In Nature

Book your wellness adventure today!

Hi! My name is Kerry and I have been a student of yoga for 23 years and teaching for more than 10! I have studied and taught several lineages throughout the years, including:

  • Power Yoga

  • Dharma Mitra

  • Anusara

  • Shivananda

  • Kundalini

  • Restorative

  • Jivamukti

  • Iyengar

  • Vinyasa

  • Hatha

  • Yin

I have been submerged in the wellness field and healing arts for over 15years. A combination of surviving a traumatic childhood & sudden chronic illness led me on a journey towards self-healing and empowerment. Yonah Mountain Yoga & Wellness Adventures is the result of that process.

I was a very sensitive to energy as a child and often felt like a misfit, wondering how & where I fit in. Aways a deep feeler with a strong sense of “knowing,” I was told by many in my young adult years that I had extra sensory abilities and that’s when life began to make a bit more sense.

It was no accident that the illness was a huge catalyst in bridging the gap between my childhood experiences and the reality of how far off my path I had ventured. I was essentially forced to slow down, pivot and re-direct my focus and life choices. Our bodies are so intelligent and our higher selves our always working in our favor. The “illness” was in essence a guidepost, leading me down a different path and showing me a new way forward.

I have since explored both spiritual and clinical avenues to healing and what I have come to realize is that healing is in the LIVING. See my Blog post, “Healing in the Wild”.

I ‘ve obtained multiple certifications thoroughout this process, in a persistent pursuit for wisdom, including:

  • 200RYT (Hatha)

  • Aerial Yoga

  • Trauma Sensitive Yoga

  • Chinese Medicine for Yoga

  • Nurtured Heart Approach

  • Mental Health First Aid

  • Wilderness First Aid

  • Elementary Education

  • Health & Wellness Practitioner

  • Peer Recovery Coach

  • SMART Recovery Facilitator

  • Mental Health Professional (Pursuing a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling)

I created a Youtube video underlying some of the traumatic events that brought me here, if your interest is piqued:

I am so grateful to have you visit and look forward to adventuring with you!

Stay Wild
