Co-Founders
Selena
Hi! I'm Selena, founder of Nadi. I began my official healing journey over 15 years ago. I struggled to find a reason of existing, had minimal support, and felt lost. One day, I started to revisit a small piece of my childhood, yoga. I began to explore more Eastern methods, gaining insight on the history and cultures, and I was amazed at how I responded to ancient practices: I finally discovered my Purpose. I finally felt safe to exist, not only in the world, but with myself. This is my Purpose. To be an option for you, a Guide, to help navigate the tricky ebbs and flows of life. Whether you are searching for peace, clarity, strength, Nirvana, or simply to explore safely.
Nichole
Hi! I'm Nichole, founder of Moving Mountains. I embarked on my own spiritual journey of healing in 2010 when going through a traumatic divorce. With this learning experience, I was compelled to share support to those who may feel lost or overwhelmed in life. I empower a journey of self-discovery and transformation, while providing a safe place to heal the mind, body and spirit. It is my passion to provide opportunities of connection, movement, release, stress management and nutritional guidance, all through the lens of self-love.
PRACTITIONERS
Amanda
Hi! My name is Amanda and I started my yoga journey in 2015 in Charlotte, NC. I was looking for a way to “exercise” that I would enjoy, and what I found would change my life forever... Restorative/Yin yoga.
The mind/body connection I experienced as I began to slow down and allow myself to rest, release and let go was truly transformational. I wanted to share this with everyone I could, so in 2019 I obtained my 200-hour certification at the Asheville Yoga Center in Asheville, NC.
I am so excited to share my experience in Des Moines! Come to my Evening Reset classes and find the rest and release your body and mind craves. Classes will incorporate longer held poses to release tension deep in your connective tissues, as well as short, guided meditations, affirmations, and a warm, inclusive, safe space to release the tensions in your mind and soul as well. I can’t wait to join you on your journey.

Elizabeth
Hi! My name is Elizabeth and I’m the founder of Wholehearted Healing.
My journey began in 2015 while working in mental healthcare, where my curiosity led me to my first yoga class. Once I started practicing, I knew that there was a different way of being, and I was devoted to learning more. Eventually, I followed my heart to massage school and graduated in 2017. Since then, I have found so many alternative and
holistic systems, learned about different spiritual practices and fallen in love with stillness-based yoga.
My classes and services offer you space to slow down, unwind tension, and navigate the transformative portals of life. It is truly my pleasure to share these practices so that you, too, may embody the spirit of
rest.
Emily
Joining us soon!
Hi! My name is Emily and I look forward to connecting with you! I spent my whole life as an endurance athlete, and for a long time I strictly believed that if whatever I was doing (whether in exercise, work, or even just life!) wasn't hard, then it wasn't worth it. For years I taught intense bootcamp, HIIT, circuit training and barbell classes, which in the end left me feeling rundown and broken.

Heidi
My name is Heidi and I look forward to connecting with you on our mats. I found my way to my mat in much the same way you likely did. I was looking for a new way to be with my body, mind, heart and spirit. And what I found on my mat is radical acceptance for all of myself, that without the mud, there is no lotus and that transformation involves loving our tattered wings, not trying to have perfect wings.
I took my first yoga class in 2010 with a Ukrainian teacher and friend while living in Moscow after decades of intense endurance sport. I knew in a single class that while my broken and battered body was not ready for the practice my heart, mind and spirit were. For me, yoga is deeply intimate and sacred practice that is meant to be held in intentional community and taken off the mat by unblocking our minds, hearts and bodies so our Loving Spirit can shine in the world. We practice saying yes and the wisdom within will make it so.
Kimberly
Hi, I’m Kimberly, founder of Sacred Flow Healing Arts. My spiritual awakening journey began around 2009. Much searching and healing later, I realized that my purpose is to help others heal. The process of healing can be both painful and fear-filled, but is ultimately freeing and joyful.
My process will allow you to feel safe while healing through Reiki and coaching. Reiki is a beautiful healing Universal Energy that is intuitive in itself. It goes where it’s most needed: body, mind, and spirit.
Along with this beautiful energy, I incorporate my expert coaching to support you in your healing, learning about yourself, and reaching your goals.
I am also a certified Akashic Records practitioner and artist. With my diverse toolkit, I hope you will find in me a loving conduit to assist your healing.
