**Jaqueline Hodges of Jaguar Lotus** Our special guest sound healer for the Gong Journey. *After Jaqueline’s first Yoga class, she immediately felt a deep calling to explore the science of yoga. In 2012 she completed 600hr Massage Therapy certification at Collinson School of Massage in Colorado Springs, CO. Here she developed an in-depth understanding of Anatomy and Physiology. This is also where she discovered her passion for Reiki. After receiving her Mastery certification this really helped her understand the relationship between the subtle energetic body, and the physical body. This journey ultimately led her to the alchemy of sound healing with the Gong, among other ancient instruments. After experiencing the power of the Gong, intensive sound training’s and other sound baths, she was eager to share this with as many students as possible, infusing Reiki, movement and meditation to enhance students healing journey.*
