Meet Nadja

 

Welcome to my journey

The Story Behind the Practice 

 

Nadja is a passionate and experienced holistic wellness practitioner, blending her work as an Integrated Bodywork Therapist, Yin Yoga teacher, and Holistic TCM Practitioner.

She’s a longtime San Francisco Bay Area resident, deeply connected to the diverse and health-conscious community, which continues to shape and inspire her work.

Her path into holistic healing started with her own yoga journey. As a dedicated student, she quickly realized this work was her true calling. She was drawn to Yin Yoga for its deeper, therapeutic benefits and discovered it was a powerful way to help students release tension, build awareness, and find a sense of calm from within.

 

Evolving Wellness

Nadja is engaged in Doctoral research on focus on women’s health through Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), reflecting her deep commitment to ongoing learning and growth.

Drawing from the principles of Daoism, TCM and acupuncture, she helps clients restore balance by clearing energetic blockages and restoring the natural flow of energy through the body’s meridians.
