Amazing Life Changing Insight!
Stephanie Adams Owner of Flow studio
My embodied astrology session with Paleena was absolutely transformative. She wove together astrology, intuition, and wisdom in a way that felt both profoundly grounding and expansive. I left with a deeper understanding of how my chart lives and breathes through my physical, emotional, and energetic patterns—offering real, embodied insight rather than just concepts. Paleena’s presence is warm, wise, and deeply attuned; I felt completely seen and supported. The clarity and validation I received continues to ripple through my life. Truly a soul-nourishing experience.
-Dr. Cathleen King, Creator of Primal Trust
"My embodied astrology session with Paleena was affirming and transformative in ways I never expected. What could have been a simple chart reading became a profound journey of self-discovery and personal insight. She didn't just interpret my astrological chart, she provided a compassionate roadmap to understanding my inherent strengths, hidden patterns of what has been challenging for me m, and life's deeper purpose which was a surprise! I’m supposed to learn to play- the very thing I often avoid!
One of the most powerful moments was realizing that my current mission and work are precisely aligned with my soul's purpose. Seeing my life path mapped out in the stars took immense pressure off me. I realized I don't have to force or struggle- I'm actually fulfilling exactly what I'm meant to do! This insight brought me a deep sense of peace and permission to trust my journey.
Through her nuanced interpretation, I gained clarity about my tendency towards burnout, my unique gifts of service, and the critical importance of self-care. She illuminated aspects of my personality and life path that explained long-standing behavioral patterns, helping me see them not as flaws, but as meaningful parts of my journey.
What makes Paleena’s approach special is her ability to translate complex astrological concepts into practical, actionable insights. She didn't just describe my chart but she gave me tools to actually implement change, showing me how my astrological blueprint could be a guide for personal growth and healing.
For anyone feeling stuck, seeking deeper self-understanding, or wanting to align more authentically with their life's purpose, an astrology session with Paleena is more than a reading, rather it's a transformative experience that can provide profound personal guidance and healing."

In our therapeutic session, Paleena led me through physical and mental work. The mental work helped me find and rework a traumatic event from my childhood that was stifling my recovery — and from fully experiencing joy. The physical work helped me find my true core and learn how I position and use my feet was extending the misery as well.
My session was a cathartic, supportive, empathy-filled experience! Paleena went to lengths to help me and is one of the sweetest, most caring, intuitive people I've ever met. A true, authentic healer. The experience wasn't just "therapy" or "physical therapy" — it was a holistic and unique healing experience drawing from several different disciplines and practices. It beautifully complimented the traditional physical therapy I was doing at the time. Honestly, I've also been happier and more mindful since the session too. I love the movement map she made me! Thank you so much, Paleena!

Paleena's yoga/movement therapy is an incredible tool for some serious in depth exploration and discovery of the body's clever mechanisms for holding onto not so beneficial physical patterns that can hold pain or dysfunction. Paleena's gift is in seeing how the physical body holds and compensates on a very subtle but deep level. As she walks you through yoga movements she has a unique and skilled ability to guide you into feeling this in your own body and knowing it for yourself as well. The awareness of how my body should and should not be moving has been very benefical. During my sessions I have also had emotional releases and felt energetic shifts in a big way. It"s like a moving awareness/meditation practice that has serious benefits for the proper functioning of the body. Paleena, you have been a huge influence in my life. Thank you !!!

Paleena, Is so intuitive and knowledgeable about the body and mind and the emotional connection between them. In just a few sessions I was able to get on my feet again and with her guidance, tune into my body to help it heal itself. Very profound for me yet so simple. I highly recommend her for anything from physical to emotional pain or trauma.
Working with Paleena has taken me on a journey into self discovery. She has a talent sharing her awareness of the body and the way it aligns with mind and soul. As we explore literal balance through my body’s bone structure, my ability to feel my body grows, helping me heal, and clarifying my life’s figurative balance. I am so grateful to be able to work with her!

As a life long athlete, I had prided myself on having an incredible mind body connection. My body has been my sacred tool. Always strong, always steady … then I lost my brother to brain cancer. My parent’s fell into a deep valley of grieve and could no longer comfort me. Within a year my mind and body became disconnected. I was having unexplained arm numbness, heart racing and I could never fully catch my own breath. I was scared, exhausted and deeply confused as to why my body, my sacred tool, was failing me.
Paleena Moyer came into my life at a pivotal moment. I knew as soon as I met her that I wanted to be in her yoga classes to be near to healing energy. Ultimately I was fortunate enough to work with her one on one.
She was able to see and hear my story with love and tenderness. Through a gentle guided practice, Paleena allowed me to slow down and dive into my own layers, ultimately helping build back a healthy mind body connection. Through slow ‘movement meditation’ my somatic nervous system began to create new healthy patterns. Paleena stayed steady and present with me on my healing journey. She has the ability to see where you are holding tension in your body and uses her treasure chest of knowledge to help you find release, reconnection and tenderness for yourself. She has gifted me with knowledge and tools that I can use in a daily practice to stay more grounded and present in my own body.
My mind body connection is healthy once again. My soul is forever filled with gratitude for her.

“Working with Paleena, I learned an embodied version of “everything is connected.” I initially sought out Paleena’s skills to help resolve symptoms of whiplash and concussion. I was a little surprised to find that when we followed the thread of healing, it meant delving into clearing old traumas from my body. Paleena created an atmosphere of love and safety while also utilizing her technical skills to help facilitate this healing.
I have changed emotionally and physically as a result of working with Paleena. My gait and body carriage are more aligned. I am more aware of my embodied self, more integrated, and it’s literally easier to breathe deeply.
Thank you Paleena,

"For about three years, I'd dealt with a cluster of hip, back, and shoulder overuse injuries that left me effectively disabled for a couple of years. At my worst, I couldn't walk more than a couple hundreds yards without burning pain and I had to give up on exercise, beach walks, surfing, yoga, and dance. Routine chores like housework and yardwork were hard to keep up with due to pain. (There was an underlying condition behind it.)
By the time I met Paleena, I had finally had a few good months of progress, after about 2.5 years of very slow progress. There was still a LOT I couldn't do. Plus, the experience of going from ripped to disabled for that long had harmed my mental health.
In our therapeutic session, Paleena led me through physical and mental work. The mental work helped me find and rework a traumatic event from my childhood that was stifling my recovery — and from fully experiencing joy. The physical work helped me find my true core and learn how I position and use my feet was extending the misery as well.
My session was a cathartic, supportive, empathy-filled experience! Paleena went to lengths to help me and is one of the sweetest, most caring, intuitive people I've ever met.

Paleena’s insights into movement both through life and in the body can be transformative. Her encouragement is both gentle and, at the same time, motivating. She is not simply fixing problems — she is teaching internal curiosity and then passing on the knowledge needed to explore and connect in ways that ground both the body and soul.

“I loved attending the Movement Junkie’s surfskate camp! We learned different movement exercises to help us build our awareness in both balance and moving our feet, the foundations of surf skating, as well as mindful exercise and discussion that helped me show up as my whole self.
I am so excited to have found Paleena’s surf skate camp where she builds both awareness of body and mind, which are very much connected. Highly recommend attending to help build on your surf training on land.”

I got so much more than expected out of your event, WOW!! So grateful! Raysha Latham, Newport OR
Taking the mind, body, board workshop from Paleena and Skye I was able to learn how to connect better with both my surfboard and skateboard. If I had not taken this workshop I would have never got on a skateboard! I recommend it to anyone of all ages who wants to learn more about what your body CAN do.

I've been meaning to reach out to you to tell you how much I loved the surf skate event! Like so so much. The somatic movements we did were amazing. And I would love to do more of it! If you have space for some one on one movement sessions I would love to book some with you. Soon or anytime through the winter too!
