Hi, I’m Mariah McDonald, LPC.
I created Moving into wholeness for there to be a safe space for individuals to create, move, and find healing. The goal is to bring long lasting Wholeness, belonging, and identity to those aching to become a restored human.
Moving Into Wholeness is committed to offering a unique yoga and counseling experience. My fusion classes take a holistic approach that is designed to balance and restore your overall wellbeing. I use thoughtful and body-centered techniques to support you in exploring your own practice in a safe and nurturing environment.
I grew up dancing my whole life and then moved to doing yoga and pilates through college. Movement has been the source that started all my healing in my life.
I graduated from Madonna University with my Bachelors of Arts. My degree is Interdisciplinary Studies- Contemporary Issues: Women and Culture.

My Approach
I have always believed movement, especially in nature, connects us to our mind, body, and spirit. We can talk about the science of movement or nature and how it benefits us, but I want to focus on the deep need our human selves have to be submersed in both. You don’t have to be an amazing dancer or have a crazy love for the outdoors. Just allow yourself to be touched by one in the slightest to feel the freedom it brings.
I take movement and nature to bring our souls back to ourselves. Whether that is a walk on the trails, yoga, or sitting surrounded. by trees, all can bring us a little closer to ourselves and each other.
Movement in nature brings our souls back home.
