She Rises:
A Sacred Shift Sanctuary

A trauma-informed nonprofit empowering women impacted by sex work, addiction, incarceration, and military service. Through yoga teacher training, holistic healing, and community support, we help women rise into purpose, leadership, and a life they deserve.

Our Story

She Rises: A Sacred Shift Sanctuary was born from the belief that healing is not only possible—but powerful. Founded by trauma-informed yoga educator and healing facilitator Vanessa Murray, She Rises was created for women who’ve faced some of life’s deepest wounds and are ready to rise into something more.

We serve women impacted by sex work, addiction, incarceration, and military service—offering them a path of transformation through certified yoga teacher training, holistic healing practices, and unwavering community support.

Our signature program, Journey Within Therapeutic 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training, isn’t just about poses—it’s about purpose. Through our $4,000 scholarship model, we create space for women to become certified instructors, nervous system educators, and empowered voices of resilience.

This is more than a program. It’s a sanctuary.
A shift.
A rising.
