Sharing the Love~ Community Offerings by My Amazing Clients!!

I’ve been thinking a great deal about each and everyone of us as we are navigating this new uncertain terrain we’ve found ourselves in. My goodness how life can make such a drastic change in just one weeks time!

I recently checked in with all of the clients that I’ve worked with over the past year to see how they were holding up and to offer my support and love. They are all such kind, thoughtful leaders in our community and so I want to share with you all their offerings during this time. Many of them have moved their businesses completely online, while others have come up with creative solutions to keep their businesses afloat during the storm.

My photography work spans a WIDE variety of people and businesses! (and this is only some of them~ as I’m still awaiting responses from others) Please scroll through the offerings all the way to the bottom of the post and see if there’s anything that speaks to you that could be of service during this time. I’ve tried to keep them in categories for easier finding of what you might need.

RADIANT COMPASSION ~ ALISON CHRISTIANSEN

Personal Branding Photographer, Upstate NY NYC

Alison is a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), 500hr Kripalu Yoga Instructor and Reiki Master. She works in private practice in Los Angeles, specializing in treating anxiety and trauma through mindfulness-based modalities and self-compassion approaches. Alison is passionate about using mind-body modalities for healing and helping individuals access self-acceptance. Prior to living in Los Angeles, Alison lived in Ithaca, NY for a decade and has enjoyed reconnecting with so many students online!

She writes~ During this time of uncertainty, it’s crucial to take care of ourselves on all levels; body, mind and soul. Carving out space to ground and practice self-compassion can start on an individual level in your yoga practice – moments of slowing down, connecting to your own needs, and offering yourself kindness. As you cultivate those qualities within, you can also offer that energy to your family, neighbors, communities and the world as a whole. Yoga also provides so many tools for managing stress, anxiety and boosting your immune system – a practice that can truly support and sustain you in the face of uncertainty.

I’ve enjoyed offering online yoga classes and providing space to connect within and to community. All classes are one hour and donation-based.
Wednesdays and Fridays 5pmEST/2pmPST All-levels YogaSundays 8pmEST/5pmPST Gentle and Restorative Yoga. You can register for her classes by visiting her website HERE.
