Healing isn’t about fixing your past — it’s about training your nervous system to stay steady in the moments that matter most.
For the woman healing from childhood trauma who wants peace, not just coping.
You are not “too emotional.” You are not behind. Your nervous system adapted to survive.
Now it deserves to learn how to rest.
I teach women healing from trauma how to regulate their emotions, rebuild self-trust, and create daily rituals that support a life of calm, clarity, and connection — from the inside out.
• Response, not reaction
• Boundaries that land without explanation
• Relationships that feel safe

Most women healing from trauma already know why they feel the way they do.
Knowledge isn’t the gap.
Integration is.
My work bridges that gap by combining:
-
Ashtanga Yoga → grounding + somatic safety
-
DBT Skills → emotional regulation + communication
-
Ritual & Rhythm → consistency that reshapes identity
This is not coping.
This is repatterning.

Meet Mandi — Author, Guide, Survivor, and Seer of What’s Possible for You
I’m Mandi Gardner — author of RISING: A Woman’s Journey of Healing Through Rituals and founder of Holistic Evolution Shala.
My work is rooted in lived experience.
The Lived Truth Behind My Work
I grew up in emotional chaos and carried it into adulthood — into relationships, identity, and my nervous system.
For years, I moved through life overwhelmed, dysregulated, and trying to hold myself together without ever truly feeling safe.
I spent nearly 15 years in talk therapy.
It helped — but not in the ways I needed.
The real healing began when I learned how to:
-
Regulate my nervous system through grounding ritual and embodiment
-
Rebuild trust in myself — slowly, gently, steadily
-
Communicate my needs without shutting down, shrinking, or exploding
-
Create relationships where connection actually felt safe
My healing wasn’t fast.
It wasn’t linear.
It wasn’t perfect.
But it was honest.
It was deep.
And it lasted.
The Practices That Changed Everything
My healing came through:
-
Ashtanga Yoga → a pathway to grounding + safety in the body
-
DBT Emotional Regulation Skills → tools to navigate emotions + communication
-
Daily Rituals → the rhythms that retrained my nervous system
These didn’t just help me cope.
They helped me repattern — from the inside out.
Today, I live a life I once believed wasn’t available to me — one of emotional steadiness, supportive relationships, and peace that comes from within.
Now, I Guide Women Ready to Rise Too
I don’t teach from textbooks or theory.
I teach from embodiment, depth, and lived transformation.
If you're here, it’s not because something is wrong with you.
It’s because your body never learned safety.
And now — gently, steadily — we teach it.
You don’t have to perform your healing, force breakthroughs, or do this alone.
You get to heal with support.
With reverence.
With compassion for every version of yourself you’ve been.

What Others Are Saying
 "Mandi's guidance quite literally changed my life. Her courage to share her story and the tools she teaches helped me work through CPTSD with compassion and clarity, breaking cycles I once thought were permanent.
Because of her work, I healed my mother wound, restored my relationship with my mom, and learned how to move through fear instead of being ruled by it. The impact has rippled through my family, my daughters, and the next generation.
This isn't just insight. It's transformation. I am endlessly grateful!"

 "In addition to the life changing content, Mandi has a way of creating a safe and inclusive environment where everyone can express themselves as much or as little as they feel inspired to. She shares personal experiences that I really resonated with and that helped me understand the content even more. The yoga was challenging for me as someone with limited strength and flexibility, but just taking the time to be in my body, whether I was able to do all of the poses or not, was incredibly helpful to me. After just a few short weeks, I can see why Mandi has chosen to incorporate yoga into the course. A powerful combination indeed."

"This program was thoughtfully designed for you to learn, grow and apply yoga techniques and DBT skills. The DBT skills were a game changer for me, they empowered me to make changes in my personal life. Mandi gives real life experiences and examples that directly taught me. Hearing from the group gave me confidence I wasn't alone. This course truly helped me create more self-control and better relationships. It offered so many answers and validations I had been seeking to find and learn. I'm forever grateful for Mandi. Mandi gives you everything you could need and more: step-by-step guides, practice worksheets, and videos. She really does prepare you and give you the tools needed to succeed. She offered personal support along the way, and you can feel she really does mean it. This course is a true revolution for healing relationships, trauma and overall happiness and well-being in life. It truly does give you a whole new life, I'm not just saying it. If you follow the course and do the yoga, your life will change right in front of your eyes. It's not a quick easy fix but it's permanent changes and skills you can use forever."
