Paula Lazaroff is the owner of Essential Healing Arts where she has worked with numerous sensitive people who are looking for more balance, focus and peace in their lives. She helps them learn to meet strong emotions and runaway thoughts, and heal traumas that are often the root cause of their overwhelm, isolation and lack of joy teaching them the skills and practices used by wisdom traditions for thousands of years now backed by science.

Paula has been in the healing arts business for over 30 years, long before it was mainstream! and recently completed her 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training in Sva Ha (300 Hour) and Kaula Tantra Yoga(200 Hour). As much as possible you will find her swimming in the ocean, at least when it’s above 50 degrees. And FYI you might not want to get between her and a bowl of popcorn!

In 2004, Paula began studying with Lisa Ishwari Murphy receiving advanced training in Energy Medicine including Sacred Sound Healing, Reiki lll in the Bon Po tradition,, natural law teachings and initiations in the Q’ero Inca and Bon Po shamanic traditions, Sva Ha Yoga and Energy for Life Coaching. It is these embodied teachings along with Lisa's healing guidance that supported Paula on her own transformational healing journey.

Paula currently teaches The Foundations of Sound, Anatomy and Pranayama in the Sva Ha yoga teacher training as well as Energy Medicine 2 and Shamanic Practices and Earth Based Medicine with Sarah Boehler in the Training Academy. You will also find her out in the community doing Synergy of Sound Meditations and Shamanic Heart Journeys.
