      <image:title>MINE for Power - M.I.N.E. for Power guides compassionate Black women achievers to realize and walk in their inherent power. M.I.N.E. for Power is a comprehensive coaching program that helps Black women MINE and LEVERAGE their influences (the things that bring you out of alignment with yourself), to live a liberated life. We can't control the world around us, but we can control how we engage with it.   As the Liberation and Wellness Coach, I guide leaders like you to understand how these influences affect your relationship with yourself and your relationship with others, so that you can walk in your power and live the liberated life God called you to live.</image:title>

      <image:title>Wellness - Yoga for Grief</image:title>
      <image:caption>Grief comes in many forms: losing a loved one ending a marriage or long term-relationship, including platonic friendships voluntary or involuntary separation from a job a geographic move releasing the idea of the life you planned versus the one that’s unfolding before you No matter the source of your grief, there is still deep sorrow for your experience. Grief tends to take up space in our body, calling our attention to it by way of pain, dis-ease, mental frustration, challenging thoughts, and heartbreak. Using the healing properties of yoga, which include asana (poses and movement), pranayama, self reflection, and meditation, I will guide you to source your tools to carefully navigate your experience with your grief. You can participate in a one-time session or select a 4 or 7 session package to support your journey.</image:caption>
