Experience:

Wren’s Yoga and wellness path began seven years ago while working with Olympic/Professional level jumping horses, her interest in taking classes at nearby studios grew to better her mental health and

finding a physical release from things that no longer served her.

Wrens personal practice developed over time into a profound love for yoga. It not only helped her find peace during difficult times, but it also opened the door to so many other modalities and limbs of yoga and wellness therapies. As she has confidently found her voice on the mat and spent years cultivating her new life, it came so naturally to spread her wings and lean in to take on new and aligned action once again by becoming a certified Level 2, 12th generation Usui Reiki practitioner.

Wren brings sunshine in her pockets and an awe-inspiring sense of self everywhere she goes on her never-ending journey as a student of life.

Philosophy:

Wren's intention at Moondog is to celebrate the energetic body, and perhaps more importantly, to have fun! She believes that a mindful life practice extends way beyond the mat or reiki table and is infused in everything we do. In her Usui Reiki sessions, you can expect to be safely guided through breath /energetic bodily alignment with a focus on self-love and relaxation.

Her hope is to have her clients in such ease that people leave her sessions feeling stronger, calmer and more in touch with the mind + body + soul connection, reminding you to not forget the real practice transcends the mat + table

Wren feels most aligned with herself (outside of work) while indulging in a relaxing salt bath, lost in nature hiking, collaborating with other creatives, and uninhibitedly dancing to music in her kitchen while cooking
