In the darkening days of November 2020, when we were all reaching out online for human connection, our founder, Emily Zachar, was invited to join with other women in a virtual ceremony to celebrate the cycles of the moon. That moon ceremony and those that followed led her deeper into her own inner guidance and to pursue shamanic training, which led to Reiki, which led to Yoga Teacher Training... and it goes on. She listened to her intuition, moved other things around in her life to make space (with deep gratitude for being able to do so), and followed where the universe was leading.

In early 2023, after 12 years of law practice and 4+ years as a marketing leader, Emily left her corporate job and began offering yoga, soul coaching, and sound healing through her newly-founded business. But the real magic began with the Winter Solstice of 2024, when we started gathering monthly in ceremony to celebrate and connect with the divine feminine. As we sat around a central flame to reflect, share, and heal together, something profound shifted. Ever since, these gatherings have been Emily's dream come alive - watching women connect to other like-minded souls, give themselves space to release old stories and wounds, and rise together in alignment with their own highest healing.

It was in those sacred circles that the deeper truth emerged: none of us have to do this work alone. We can call in from the goddess and from the universe the exact right energies and support we need. We can release, with gratitude, energies that no longer serve us. We can create something sustainable in our beautiful studio space that continues to fulfill not just ourselves, but everyone who steps through the door.

And so Soul Healing Collective is born.

Today, we are Jade - a goddess of sensual and somatic movement, a dancer and yoga instructor who guides others to connect deeply with their sensuality and express it through beautiful movement. She brings both solemnity and grace to our studio, along with an incredibly generous spirit.

We are Amanda - a masterful storyteller who began as a practitioner renting space for her own women's circle and has blossomed into her own as a yoga teacher. She brings wisdom and authenticity to everything she offers.

We are Regina - a highly skilled sound healer and yogini with deep experience in embodiment and awareness practices. Regina has studied with renowned sound practitioners from around the world. She epitomizes generosity and gratitude and profound reverence for each soul she meets.

We are all the practitioners who use our space for sound baths, reiki training workshops, meditation, breathwork, sacred rage ceremonies, grief circles, and rites of passage. We are the Collective Practitioner members who believe deeply in an abundance mindset - that the more of us able to offer our gifts successfully, the more we raise the vibe of the planet.

And we are every person who finds their way into our beloved space - because we know what our teachers have taught us: you are your own best healer.

We want you to unlock your own magic, just as we have. To come home to yourself and realize you already have everything you've ever needed to live your highest timeline, starting right now. To remove the blocks that stand between your heart and your fully actualized self. It sounds like a lot of woo-woo, we know. We thought so too, and sometimes we still do. But here's what we've learned: you already know what's right for you, and we'd love to help you locate that wisdom and let it set you free.

Whether you join us for ecstatic dance to move your body and spirit, sit with us in ceremony to honor the cycles of life, practice yoga to integrate mind-body-soul, or simply show up to be held by a community that sees you - you belong here.

We can only share the paths we've walked, and our hope is that we've each taken steps and learned things that will resonate with you on your own journey. We're here because of everyone who has ever loved us into being and all those who support us and this studio in its becoming. We hold infinite gratitude for this web of connection that brought us together.

If you're feeling called to it, please reach out. We hope to connect with you very soon.

With love and highest healing,

The Soul Healing Collective team
