Background:
Charise is a truth warrior and healing artist, who believes in radical self-care—that the act of tending to our well-being sends a message to our own minds and spirits, as well as to the world, that we value ourselves, and others. She uses meditation, Reiki, and TRUTH Journaling to help clients unlock blockages, release old patterns and habits, and to live their lives with joy...and has utilized each modality in managing anxiety, grief, chronic pain, and PTSD in her own life. Charise sees these tools as vital components of her own personal wellness, in coordination with
good nutrition, Gyrotonic, breath work, sound baths, and daily laughter.
Charise is an Unplug certified meditation teacher, trained by davidji and Suze Yalof Schwartz; a Playing Big Facilitator, trained by Playing Big author and coaching specialist Tara Mohr; a Reiki practitioner; and a business person, artist, filmmaker, writer, and mother of four. She is also the founder of Hollywood Chick Mafia. And even though she is full-on LA convert, you might catch an occasional Madison, Wisconsin accent, or an NYC twinkle in her eye.
Why I Teach Meditation:
I believe that finding my way to a daily meditation practice saved my life. I was at a crossroads, on every front. Discovering that I had this power within me to quiet the storms, excavate what needed to be cleared away, and set my sights upon a new path that could feed all the parts of my soul, was a quiet revolution. And if this Type-A polymath has been able to find peace...I know that anyone can. I find great joy in helping other humans (and our family dogs!) find their own patch of sunny calm amidst all of the noise in this life.
