Meet Raylen Williams, LMT

My love for movement led me to my first yoga class in 2011. Towards the end of the class, I was shocked to discover how much I struggled during the final resting pose (savasana). Doing "nothing" was hard for me! Humbled by this awareness, I attended a yoga teacher training (YTT) program eager to learn more. One of my biggest takeaways from YTT was developing a daily meditation practice. I began to feel the benefits of cultivating stillness in addition to my movement practice; so in 2014, I attended my first meditation teacher training.

A few years later,  suppressed memories of trauma started to emerge. I sought help immediately.  I was struggling tremendously with complex PTSD and severe dissociation. Working with many layers of support, I explored ways of learning how to safely inhabit my body, tend and befriend what is arising, attune to its innate wisdom, and live with more ease. I found certain forms of bodywork to be beneficial in my process, which led me to becoming a practitioner of a variety of integrative healing modalities with meditation as my foundation. These offerings include Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, John F. Barnes' Myofascial Release, and Visionary Craniosacral Work.

I feel grateful for all my teachers, mentors, and beings in my field of care and hope that offering this work serves as an opportunity to pay it forward. If you sense a connection with me and would like to explore working together, please feel free to reach out. It is an honor explore infinite possibilities and BE with you along this sacred journey.

I enjoy seeing the Beauty in simple moment to moment experiences such as coddiwompling in nature and snuggling with my partner and our precious fur baby, Halo.
