ABOUT ME

Yvonne Ackley
I’m truly passionate about working with you to help you live a Happy and Healthy Life! You deserve to learn, grow and feel ALIVE, and to age gracefully in body, mind, and spirit.
I love leading personal growth workshops and have seen how people light up when they discover how to put a positive thinking approach into practice and feel better about themselves. When you leave my workshops you’ll walk away loving yourself just a little more or for the very first time!
Together, we can find ways for you to enjoy your life more, find more time for what makes you feel alive, and create inner peace and calm. I hope you’re inspired to learn more about my workshops or to book a one-on-one appointment with me to start your journey of aging gracefully in body, mind, and spirit.
My Personal Journey
I found in my 50’s, as my child raising years were winding down, that there was a void in my own life. My family was growing up and setting out for new experiences as my husband and I always wanted for them, but I was in need of some new experiences as well. In fact, as my third and last child set out for college he said to me;" It's All About You now Mom"! My day to day, week after week, year after year job truly was over. I began to listen to his words and to create the life I wanted.
I had a wonderful massage therapy practice, but I was looking for more. I began to look deeper at what was going on inside of ME.
Becoming a yoga instructor was an important step, it helped me to become more present in my life, yet I knew there was more. When I began the Holistic Health Practitioner and Life Coaching program the uncovering of my true self and what I needed emerged. With awareness, adjustments and determination, I was able to fill in the void and really enter a world of true joy and happiness.
