About Onatah
I have a lot of love inside of me. I love the Earth, I love humans, I love life and I love the Divine. I am so grateful to be alive and I am amazed at the journey we are all on- unique and also intimately connected. It is from this place of love and knowing that we are one family that my teaching, healing work and music flows.
I am grateful for yoga as it started me on the path of Self knowledge. It helped open my heart and inner life like a flower. I want to help us all heal. I want to help us to know who we truly are so we can stop hurting ourselves, each other and the Earth.
My desire for this led me to learn about the miracles of our human bodies, healing through touch, alignment, herbal medicine and health. I believe we can balance ourselves with love and become the change we want to see in the world.
I live in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts and travel often to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
