THE SOZO STORY

After teaching elementary school for almost ten years while simultaneously working in the church, Casey found that managing her emotional and mental health had become, well…umanageable. A visit to her medical health professional gave her struggle a name: Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Receiving her diagnosis while starting a new career as a brand new worship artist was difficult, to say the least. Lifestyle change, medication, yoga, and many other tools became a part of her quest to serve God well not just through her music, but through the way, she took care of her body, mind, spirit, and emotions.  

 

Soon Casey realized that her call was not just to take care of herself, but to serve God’s people through helping them find their own intersection of faith and wellness. Casey graduated from the prestigious Asheville Yoga School in 2019 with a 200 Yoga Teacher Certification and has been certified with the Yoga Alliance to serve others in their journey of self-care. She has a passion to help others find a daily wellness practice, as the combination of prayer, biblical study, mindful eating, meditation, yoga, and physical exercise has literally changed her life. 

 

Her philosophy is that “you can love the Lord with all your heart and still need support in your mental and emotional wellness.”

 

Sozo wellness is a passion project that started simply as Casey’s story and has now become a beautiful space to share and shape the stories of many.
