Scarlette began her yoga journey in 2017 during a deeply challenging period of personal upheaval, marked by emotional hurt and a loss of safety. Yoga offered her stability in that turbulent season, and over time her practice evolved into something active and strengthening. It was only upon meeting Gabrielle and encountering restorative yoga that she discovered another dimension of practice: slowing down, listening inwardly, and finding safety in stillness.

In 2022–23, Scarlette joined a restorative yoga retreat and completed the 30-hour OASIS Restorative Yoga training hosted by Gabrielle. What began as professional curiosity soon became a profound personal and clinical discovery. Restorative yoga is a gentle practice that uses supported postures, breath, and stillness to cultivate deep rest. Unlike more active forms of yoga, its focus is not on exertion but on creating safety in the body—a space where stress can be held, released, and transformed.

The value of these practices became especially evident during Scarlette’s pregnancy and postpartum season. In a time of significant change and vulnerability, restorative work offered grounding, softening, and a way to return to herself. This experience has shaped her therapeutic perspective, reinforcing the belief that meaningful healing happens when we feel both understood and safe within our bodies.
