I’m Jaci McCarty and I help heal and empower people to manage their own stress response and feel more at ease in their own mind and body using tools from restorative yoga, meditation, and mindfulness.

My unique method, The McCarty Method, encourages the activation of the “rest and digest” response and moves patients away from the “fight or flight” response. The Method includes four pillars: mind, body, breath, and heart.

Allowing the mind to slow and settle through meditation and present moment awareness. Also facilitating the mind-body connection.

Mind

Body

Creating a safe and supported posture with the use of props and blankets, calming and warm atmosphere, and guided relaxation.

Conscious breathing practices that are calming for body, mind, and heart and activate the relaxation response and allow for emotional release.

Breath

Heart

Attention to the qualities of Greater Good and Heart Centered Mindfulness Practices that soothe and calm the inner being, allowing for acceptance of emotions.
