MEDITATION, YOGA AND WELLNESS COACH
After a decade studying Yoga, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine and several meditation techniques, immersed in Buddhist monasteries and Hindu ashrams in India, Australia, Nepal and Brazil, she’s been in San Diego for a few years teaching and coaching clients towards wellbeing and fulfillment. Having healed from depression herself through meditation, she believes it is the most important tool in supporting any healing journey or self development path her clients are on.
Upon hearing from many students “I can’t meditate” “I can’t sit still” “I’m too active to meditate” “I’m too busy” and observing how stress slows down their productivity and diminishes their quality of life, she wanted to create a way for busy people to experience the benefits of meditation and feel successful while living their regular lives. That’s how Uplift Meditation was born! Uplift is a technique that includes movement, laughter, breathing techniques, mindfulness and self inquiry.
Uplift Meditation is designed to stimulate the release of feel-good hormones (dopamine, serotonin, endorphins and oxytocin) fast, so practitioners can feel the results such as improved mood and clarity of mind after the first session.
Another challenge people face with meditation is to commit to it consistently. So Uplift offers LIVE-STREAM classes and real time support.
Laughter is powerful because it can break patterns and raise the vibration fast, which creates a self healing process and a sense of wellbeing. It all happens in a supportive and likeminded virtual community

CHIROPRACTORS
Dr. Suzanna Wong
Dr. Kira Capozzolo, DCDrs. Suzanna and Kira’s awareness of the mind-body connection and holistic approach to wellbeing stemmed from their parents, who were both dancers, artists, and visionaries. This awareness deepened after their father suddenly passed away from a heart attack when they were 10 years old. What was the missing link to their father's passing? Was there a deeper component at play? They quickly learned that there must be something more to our physicality. This lead them down the path to become gentle-touch chiropractors, with a focus on the nervous system and trauma release.
Drs. Kira and Suzanna practice Network Spinal, a chiropractic technique and holistic approach to wellness, founded by Dr. Donald Epstein. Network Spinal uses a “whole” person approach that dives deep into the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health. Instead of the “cracking” and “popping” type of chiropractic, Network Spinal uses gentle touch points, known as contacts, along the spine to help unwind stored tension and trauma within the body and nervous system. These contacts are made in places of ease and resource within the body–similar to paddling “downstream” and going WITH the current.
The twin doctors believe that everyone has the capacity to heal, grow, and thrive. As a team, they help people ignite the fire within, turn the power on, and unwire those habitual patterns that hold you back, so you can live the life you are truly meant to live.
