Greetings, Beautiful Souls

​

I AM Gretchen, the Founder and force behind Vibrant Awakenings Global Wellness, LLC —a movement born from my own transformation and created to inspire yours.

​

                                                                     My wellness journey began during a season of deep personal reckoning. I                                                                     was working in a high-stress corporate job, disconnected from my body,                                                                       battling weight gain, anxiety, and exhaustion. Yoga found me when I                                                                             needed it most. movement, breath, and stillness, I didn’t just lose over 100                                                                   pounds—I found my way back to myself.

​​​

                                                                     That journey awakened a calling. I became certified in yoga through Three                                                                   Sisters Yoga, then went on to earn certifications in personal training and                                                                     nutrition through NASM and Precision Nutrition. But it didn’t stop there. I                                                                       became a student of mindfulness, trauma-informed healing, and                                                                                     movement as medicine—for the body and the soul.

​​

 

​Now, over a decade later, my work lives at the intersection of healing, movement, empowerment, and rest. Through transformational retreats, corporate wellness programs, and embodied practices, I create space for women especially women of color—to breathe deeper, move intentionally, and rise in their wholeness.

 

Whether I’m leading a yoga session under open sky or guiding a company team through a mid-day reset, my approach is always the same: grounded, joyful, deeply personal, and intentionally inclusive.

 

Vibrant Awakenings is more than a brand. It’s a reclamation. It’s a reminder. That your body is sacred. That rest is resistance. That healing is your birthright. And that you were never meant to do this alone. 

​

Let’s rise together.
On the mat. In the mountains. In the workplace. In your life.

​

With love & deep gratitude,
Gretchen
