Profile: Brandi has been a mover since she was a child and has been a professional teacher and performer since 2002. In 2014, Brandi gave her life to Jesus in a time of grief and change. Movement has been essential to her faith expression and development over the years. This, combined with over a decade of teaching dance, led to the birth of her desire to support the spiritual lives of others through movement. After the pandemic-forced closure of her dance studio, a serious bicycle accident made it nearly impossible for Brandi to dance, to teach – to even sit or stand – without pain. Confronted by these major shifts, Brandi had a lot of time to reflect, pray, and listen to the spirit.

Amidst all these bodily changes, Brandi completed a Christ Centered Yoga teacher training in 2023. She now offers classes that are loving, judgment free, and full of grace for each person, regardless of body type or ability. She offers adaptations for those who are managing pain or in a healing process. She just finished a two-year training program for spiritual direction, where she has learned to become a spiritual companion to help others to attune to Jesus and walk on their faith journey. Brandi also offers breathwork, and contemplative prayer, all in service of ever finer attunement to Christ.

As a spiritual director/companion, Brandi will walk alongside the directee on a soul journey to acknowledge how Jesus has shaped your life over the years and where you see Jesus currently. We lean in with a posture of curiosity, with love, grace and without judgement. During our time together we may pray, read scripture, engage in imaginative prayer, sit in silence, journal, all while turning your heart toward the loving gaze of God, and what God might be doing in your life.
