What an eye opening deep conversation we had with Pamela O'brien.  Today we talk about finding your path, how emotions get trapped in your body and manifest in physical pain, and the deeper side of yoga and hypnosis.  Pamela owns Greenleaf Yoga Studio in Saint Charles, IL.  Here is what she has to say about this very unique space she has created:

"To say Greenleaf is simply a yoga studio would be like saying the Magic Kingdom has a roller coaster. Greenleaf is so much more, and it's evolution has gone along with my own lifelong journey to feel healthy and whole . . . physically emotionally and spiritually. 

Even to say Greenleaf is a therapeutic studio would be perhaps misleading and might just attract those who are injured or need much modification due to physical challenges. 

To describe Greenleaf as a yoga and meditation studio might lead some folks to see it as all yogi- like and only for those yogi like folks who are like, "Ommmmmm!"

And if you heard we do hypnosis then you might think, oh so this woman is going to make me crow like a rooster or infiltrate my thoughts......or you might picture being helped stopping the unhealthy and toxic habit of smoking, or release a long-held phobia. But nope. Greenleaf is more than yoga, more than meditation, more than helping a client (really a kindred spirit, I like to call my student/friends ) quit an unhealthy habit or release a phobia. Greenleaf is my way of offering a methodology that encompasses three legs of a stool that is my personal health foundation: Body (yoga that is modified and crafted for folks of every walk of life), Mind (mindfulness, meditation, hypnosis and creative visualization methods which help with stress, depression and anxiety that today's pace and circumstance of life seems to throw our way),  Spirit (philosophy and meditation and inspiration )".

How can Greenleaf help you?

1. Helps you enjoy, find freedom, strength and healing in your body.

2. Be empowered to take over the reigns to your health and well-being

3. Learn real concrete tools for living intentionally through mindful thoughts, word, and action coaching.

4. Helps you dream big again and design the life you've always wanted . . . perhaps the one you envisioned but have yet to realize.

5. Release the stress, fear, insecurity that has held you hostage  . . . be it in an unhealthy body, mind or spirit.

 I honestly feel like it is my honor and privilege to share and teach what has helped me change my life and as you said, Gina, live intentionally. It is so interesting that you used those words. When I first got divoreced over 7 years ago that was my mantra. I'd been married 27 years give or take. I was about to take a leap and live intentionally no longer on auto pilot....so here we go again. I think it's been time for a reboot for me....thus the hypnosis addition, which brings this journey full circle for me to when I was introduced by my favorite high school, to the idea of creating your best life back in 1981 through the book Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain.

Cheers!

Pamela
