Cathy Brooksie Edwards
Listening to Your Soul Integration Services
NCLCMHC #2733 | LMBT #692
I offer healing practices spanning a variety of modalities, such as energy work, body talk practices, gentle guidance, Qigong, Kundalini Yoga and music.
I follow the orientation that deep stillness, unconditional love, non-judgment, and kindness hold a holy healing space. Internal change happens from a daily practice of committed self-care rituals, and some times support and guidance.
To book a session contact Brooksie at listeningtoyoursoul@gmail.com or text 919-548-4963 to schedule an appointment. Brooksie is the Executive Director of www.heart2heartnc.com.

Melissa Russell
Evolve Yoga Therapy
I work one-on-one with individuals who are facing ongoing physical or emotional challenges and are ready to explore new ways to find relief. Whether it’s shoulder pain, anxiety, depression, autoimmune issues, chronic fatigue, stress, or insomnia, I support clients in creating a daily yoga practice that brings balance and ease back into their lives.
My clients are often juggling a lot and may not realize that slowing down and committing to even small, consistent practices can truly transform how they feel and move through the world.

Private sessions last between 60 and 90 minutes. I’ll listen carefully as you describe your unique situation and goals, and then I’ll recommend yoga practices tailored specifically to you. These practices might include meditation, movement, or breathwork, depending on what will best support you. My recommendations draw from my work with individuals, my personal experience, and my extensive training. When you return, we’ll refine your practices to ensure they’re helping you achieve the relief and growth you’re seeking.
You don’t need any prior yoga experience—just a willingness to make a change, explore a new approach, and open the door to greater well-being.
