Wellness With Debora - Santa Cruz, California

Lisa Halpern

I highly recommend Debora Cohen as a Yoga Instructor and Healing Practitioner.

After months of struggling with a psoas muscle issue, which was not responding to physical therapy, I began attending Debora’s Yoga for Balance and Posture class. I experienced significant pain relief after the very first session. I’ve felt welcomed and encouraged to participate in the class, and appreciate Debora’s relaxed and supportive way of teaching.

I attended Debora’s recent Energy Self Care Workshop and was introduced to many new avenues of self-healing, such as Chakra Clearing and Balancing, and Meridian/Acupressure Tapping. By the end of the workshop, I felt noticeably less affected by the things around me, and much more centered and balanced within myself.

Working with Debora was such a blessing. I came to her very anxious, unbalanced, and thinking I just needed to solve external problems. While it’s important to reflect on life, she helped me get to a place of listening and trusting my body rather than listening to external feedback… she showed I needed to let my body take precedence and I learned that the body holds my answers to peace and neutrality - if I slow down and listen. .
While working with her I learned to quite things happening outside the body, so that I could tune into healing.

With her help I feel comfortable breathing through an experience, checking where my emotions are, and being ok with my reactions. Telling myself “*this* happened and it’s ok, I’m human and it’s ok”.
If I’m feeling discomfort, I don’t need to relive & over analyze experiences. I’m allowed (and need to) give myself quiet time & space, and heal where the discomfort is being held in my body.
Nothing has to be solved, nothing has to be answered … I’m allowed to focus on me and getting my body & spirit to a place of alignment, peace, and possibly even neutrality over what’s happening in my life - and most of the time, doing that healing work will allow the answers for things to smooth out externally as well.
