I'm Angelique Shofar, Director of the Spirit of Wellness. I am a double agent. My dual lifestyle shapes me as a radio personality where I host and execu-produce "Africa Meets Africa" a talk show out of Washington, DC. My other side bestows the gift of healing as a Yoga teacher, Bodyworker and Inspirational Speaker & Coach. My holistic life extends to my role as a mother - the stablizing factor between both worlds. Becoming a mother brought with it the responsibility of being teacher and student, flexible and structured. Motherhood challenges me to live with integrity and intention. My work as a healer has a blend of many cultural therapies. From my homeland Africa to Asia, to South America and beyond Native American healings, I integrate a bit of each world accordingly. I utilize the energies and powers that exist for all of us to embrace. Fusing intuition, culture and spirit, I am doing what I love doing and what comes to me naturally.

The gift of healing is an intricate part of how I exist as it crosses over into the various structures in my life. My practice allows me to be a part of an exchange that works to raise the vibration of humans, the earth and all that is.

Yoga & Relaxation in the Workplace

As a Body worker, I focus on relaxing the energy body so that it guides the physical body into a deep letting go. With gentle reminders to focus on the breath, I am able to extend the stretch further into the muscular-skeletal system to increase circulation, oxygenation of the cells and facilitation of the removal of toxic from the blood and internal organs. I honor the body as a consciousness in itself, with each part, each organ needing to be honored and recognized not merely for its function but as a part and symbol of your wholeness. I inspire my clients to "invest" in their own well-being and to reap the rewards of freedom, deep peace and self wisdom. I encourage my clients to allow their bodies the gradual expression of its poetry. I remind them to listen with their whole body.

YOGA ~ Through asanas (yoga postures) we sense blockages, identify emotions and those limiting thoughts that hold us back. Through deep breathing exercise we bring more energy to the heart, oxygenate the cells and restore balance to the body and mind. Through creative visualization we create a mindset of peace and self-empowerment as well as an atmosphere to explore your own magic. Through meditation we create spiritual and mental serenity that calms the nervous system. An ancient African form of healing that applies the ebb and flow between movement and stillness.

My work is magical. I focus on empowering my clients to tap into their magic and passion to live and create mindfully. I am non-mainstream and somewhat unconventional in my approach to healing. I am ecclectic in my therapeutic styles and teachings. My philosophy is energy based and thus I empower my clients through contact with a deeper potent power that exists beyond the images and illusions perceived by the eyes. I guide them to move into this unseen world and to move through the gateway of their own heart. I am the magician.

I believe that our deeper self communicates through the body. And when we have gone too far away from the center and our life force needs recharging the body calls us back through pain and discomfort, illness and disease.

You can not truly heal until your deeper, basic self is ready to heal!
