Surviving and thriving after a devastating car wreck in 2004, Sally sustained a traumatic brain injury.  The expereince of trauma, as well as the expereince of growing up surrounded by addiction shaped Sally’s interest in healing through spiritual-somatic integration. Using breath to regulate the nervous system’s function in the body, using yoga postures to connect the mind to the soma and using meditation to overcome fear based existence are tools Raspberry uses to guide and empower others. Sally offers massage therapy, nutritional guidance, spiritual counseling and trauma informed yoga practices to bring healing and empowerment to those who have struggled with addiction, depression, anxiety and pain.

Each year Sally travels to breath-taking landscapes to teach Yoga, Sound Healing, and Meditation retreats. By 2022 Sally’s dream is to offer YTT and retreats in Hawaii, Iceland and Costa Rica.

Sally’s daughters inspire her to do her best in all aspects of life.  Truly, they are her greatest teachers. She is overflowing with gratitude and pure joy to be a mama to these astounding, exquisite human Beings.
