Guided by Love. Come as You Are.
The path that brought us here. A glimpse into our past, now moving forward wholeheartedly with the Lord.
Hello, Beautiful Souls!
Welcome to My BodYoga! I'm so glad you're here.
Whether you're visiting for the first time or have been part of our community for years, I hope you feel welcomed, valued, and right at home. I've always believed that every person has a story and that kindness, genuine connection, and caring for one another can make such a beautiful difference.
Much of my life and work has centered around people, healing, creativity, community, and the art of wellness. As an entrepreneur for most of my adult life, I've had the vision of creating spaces and experiences where people could care for themselves, connect with one another, and explore what it means to live with greater presence, meaning, and purpose.
I've always been deeply curious about the human experience and the mysteries of life. What shapes us? What creates the strongholds that keep us stuck? How do we heal, forgive, let go, and grow? What gives our lives meaning? How do we care well for our bodies and minds? What does it mean to live with purpose, love, and connection? And where does God fit into it all?
That curiosity led me through decades of study and exploration, from the human body, therapeutic movement, bodywork, and nervous system care to relationships, emotions, creativity, consciousness, faith, spirituality, and some of life's deepest questions.
And along the way, one of the greatest gifts was the community itself.
Over approximately 22 years, the spaces I helped create grew and evolved, each bringing its own beautiful chapter. What began as a little yoga studio and treatment room in our home during those wonderful years of raising our family eventually blossomed into a holistic yoga and day spa overlooking the Occoquan River in Historic Occoquan, Virginia.
Oh, what a magical little place that was! Once a recording studio, we transformed it into a beautiful wellness sanctuary. We created a little garden oasis on the outdoor deck overlooking the river, where we shared spa lunches, laughter, and meaningful moments with our clients. A spiral staircase led up to a charming lighthouse area where we would retreat for quiet moments of meditation and reflection. There were live music gatherings, intimate concerts, workshops, and even a farmers market that brought people together in such wonderful ways.
Our journey later continued in Woodbridge, Virginia, where My BodYoga grew into another vibrant wellness studio. Over the years, thousands of beautiful souls walked through our doors, and alongside incredible teachers, practitioners, musicians, and the community itself, we created so much more than a place for movement and bodywork.
Oh, the memories and the wonderful people who made it all possible!
These spaces became so much more than places to move and care for the body. They became places for friendship, laughter, meaningful conversations, heartfelt connection, and simply doing life together.
A New Chapter, New Eyes
Since closing the doors of our beloved Virginia studio in the fall of 2024 and moving to a little beach town along the East Coast, God has been working in my life in ways I never could have imagined.
For many years, I had a genuine, daily relationship with Jesus Christ. I loved Him, prayed, studied His Word, and sought to walk with Him. Yet somewhere along the way, I also exploring New Age teachings and spiritual practices that I believed could coexist with my Christian faith.
I wasn't intentionally worshiping other deities or placing them above God. But through my exploration and participation, I now believe I was inadvertently making spiritual agreements I didn't fully understand.
And perhaps the most difficult part to recognize was how beautifully it was all presented.
So much came wrapped in glittering invitations of love, light, healing, higher consciousness, and spiritual awakening. I believed I was discovering greater wisdom and drawing closer to God, when in reality, I was drifting further from the truth of His Word.
I hadn't stopped loving Jesus. But I had allowed so many other spiritual influences into my life that I didn't recognize how far I had wandered.
And then, by God's incredible grace and love, the veil began to lift.
Through His Word, God began opening my eyes to what I couldn't see before. What I once believed was spiritual freedom, I now recognize as an illusion of freedom. What appeared to be enlightenment had become, in my experience, a counterfeit of the truth found in Jesus Christ.
I came to recognize that not everything presenting itself as light leads us toward God. Some experiences brought temporary comfort or feelings of peace, but they could never compare with the lasting transformation and fruit of the Holy Spirit.
What I thought was light had led me into darkness. What I thought was freedom had become bondage. And what I thought was wisdom could never compare to the truth of God's Holy Spirit, His Word, LOVE, grace and forgiveness.
I believe it was only Jesus who lovingly delivered me from that darkness, opening my eyes and teaching me what it truly means to surrender my whole life to Him as Lord.
No spiritual experience, hidden knowledge, or promise of enlightenment could ever compare with His love, mercy, grace, and truth.
My beliefs have changed, but my heart for loving and serving people has only been amplified.
And to the many beautiful friends and souls I've met throughout my journey, especially those still exploring the spiritual paths I once walked, please know this:
I love you. I love you.
The friendships, kindness, and moments we've shared remain precious to me. My journey has changed, but my love for you hasn't.
I simply encourage you to ask questions, seek truth, examine God's Word, and bring your questions to Jesus. Don't be afraid to question what you've been taught, just as I've had to question so much of what I once believed.
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” — Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV)
As My BodYoga continues to evolve, I'm bringing forward the love, creativity, compassionate care, and meaningful connections that have always been at its heart, now with a foundation firmly rooted in Jesus Christ.
I'm still curious, still learning, still growing, and still finding joy in this extraordinary gift of life. Only now, I'm learning to see it all with new eyes.
Whether you're here for bodywork, nervous system care, coaching, meaningful connection, or simply because something brought you to this little corner of the world, I hope you find a place where you feel welcomed, respected, and cared for.
Whatever your beliefs, background, or season of life, you are welcome here.
I'm grateful you're here, and I look forward to what we may share along the way.
With love,
Alice
Be Love. Live Love. Give Love. Receive Love.
