Leza Vivio, Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider, Vibrational Sound Healer

Leza is a Healing Arts practitioner focusing on integrative wellness and intuitive counseling. At the foundation of all of her work is a deep understanding of trauma-informed care, radical personal transformation, and self-empowerment.

Over the years, she has been a speaker in a variety of settings ranging from salt caves to state symposiums and that is only important to me because of the human connection that it fostered.

Nicole Howell, Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Personal Trainer

I am a licensed massage therapist and certified personal trainer. My primary mission is to facilitate and teach awareness through somatic sensation; through touch, movement, breath, and sound. My practice approach exemplifies the philosophical and spiritual stance that mind, body, and soul are in fact one; that every person is created for generating and receiving love, and that restoring proper alignment and connection of the anatomy is a portal of entry for healing and purification of the whole being that expands one’s capacity for inhabiting and emanating this love. This work is deep, and illuminates the shadows. Individuals who are inspired for whole-being regeneration will experience awakening through this work to the extent that they are willing and ready to see. With that said, it is not my role to heal; only to intuitively guide and facilitate each individual’s somatic therapy in a fashion that parallels his/her current place on their life journey. As a practitioner, I will always meet you where you’re at; I will hold space with the utmost honor and care, but will also challenge you to usher in the transfiguration that only you are truly capable of stepping into- for the sake of your own freedom, and for that of the human race.
