WHO IS THE FACILITATOR?
My name is Yasmine Aker, and I will be your guide. My formal education is in psychology, somatic exercises, Reiki energy healing, early child development, education, music, music therapy, and Eastern chanting. I have over fifteen years of teaching experience and a wealth of experiential knowledge and expertise in healing modalities. I also host mental health advocacy events for at-risk communities here in LA.
By trade, I am an actress. You may recognize me from television, where I play the role of Angelica on Hulu's "Good Trouble." You may also recognize my voice from some of your favorite video games.
My life's passion is to help people find their alignment. Struggling with my own mental health and past trauma led me to the start of my own healing journey. I had been living my whole life, as many of us do, avoiding the painful traumas of my past. A series of unfortunate events, including an MS misdiagnosis, my father's death, and a divorce, finally led me down the path of healing.
I have trained and experienced various modalities such as yoga, meditation, EMDR, TMS, conventional therapy, and various alternative medicines. My quest to heal led me to TRE, mindfulness practice, music therapy, a somatic therapy apprenticeship, Reiki certifications, ayahuasca and psilocybin ceremonies, silent retreats, and becoming a Zen Buddhist.
I share my experiences and insights openly, offering workshops and curriculum that integrate multiple healing approaches and modalities such as sound healing, breathwork, somatic therapy, movement, meditation, and traditional mental health tools to empower people on their healing journey.
My teachings are rooted in research and science-backed modalities with strong supporting data. I am deeply spiritual, but I take a data-driven approach to healing and mental health.
The classes I teach and facilitate serve as a safe sanctuary for you to return to regularly; and realign your mind, body, and soul.
My suffering has become my offering and gift to you.
A calm nervous system and a sense of peace is your birthright. I look forward to meeting you and being of service.
