Raphaela's journey through yoga and healing arts spans over three decades of dedication and
growth. Her unique blend of movement, breath, alignment, and energetic anatomy forms a
holistic approach to yoga and body work. Starting at the age of 19, her journey led her to
complete her hot yoga training in 2001, international yoga competitions, and become certified in
both Bikram and Anusara styles. While these methods inform her practice, she has been
teaching from the the well spring of her own experience since co-founding Nectar Healing Arts
and Steady As She Goes Retreats with her husband in 2009. Their devotion and love forms the
blueprint for her commitment to creating unique spaces for women's workshops and retreats,
empowering women to connect with their bodies and spirits.

Beyond her dedication to healing through all things embodiment, she finds one joys in
motherhood & partnership on her families emerging farm and mini retreat center in Barnardville,
and is currently completing an online women's course set to launch in 2024, focused on the
Divine Feminine and the lucious sensuality that remains all women’s birthright.
