connecting to the humansol
The topic of healing has gained significant popularity in recent times. While its meaning may vary for each individual, one common thread unites us on this particular path of life. That is the choice to seek and discover ways to follow the path of least resistance, which nurtures us through all of the non-linear cycles of life.
It is also the path that enables us to recognize and celebrate the small victories, instilling a sense of worthiness within us. Through years of therapy and holistic practices that have contributed to the development of my mental health, I have come to believe that the power of healing is boundless, and we are forever engaged in this journey.
A holistic & spiritual journey, characterized by a gentle approach unique to our self, resulting in a transformative experience that helps us uncover a deep and nurturing relationship with our inner world.
Whether through yoga, meditation, somatic practices, art, mindfulness workshops, or other such modalities, the mission of humansol is to assist all individuals in finding their own niche for healing integrating all parts of self, through all of the phases of our lives.
I am Merlin—a mother, wife, artist, and wellness facilitator practicing in New York City. I have a biology, nursing, end-of-life care, and holistic practices background, including 200-hour yoga teaching training, trauma-informed yoga, and reiki. I am currently pursuing a graduate degree in mental health counseling. My mission is to facilitate inner healing for humanity.
Becoming a mother to a premature baby girl in 2022 was a life-changing and transformative experience that reshaped my perspective and life's trajectory. Despite the challenges of navigating motherhood without my baby girl in my arms initially, I embraced the unknown with surrender & trust. After this life-changing experience, my commitment to advocating for women's health and facilitating mental well-being awareness remains unwavering.
Driven by a passion for guiding individuals toward inner healing, I transitioned my career in health care to focus on this purpose. I am now in service leading group yoga classes, I also offer at-home/in-studio personalized yoga, reiki & meditation sessions and guide wellness workshops emphasizing mental health awareness.
Lastly, I feel incredibly fortunate to walk through life alongside a partner who supports every aspect of who I am. My husband has been a constant pillar of support through all my transformations in recent years. Together, we are dedicated to spreading the message of healing. We have embarked on individual and shared healing journeys, with raising a family now being our most significant role. Our shared dream, humansol, is a realization where we collaboratively build and introduce healing to the world through the eyes of nurturance.
