aley is a lover of many forms of movement. Whether it be running, yoga, strength training, hiking...but most of all she loves to run. On December 4th 2011 she went to cheer on a friend running the California International Marathon. That day, as she watched all the runners cross the finish line, she decided she was going to become a runner. She has been running ever since and blogs about her journey at runnertransformed.com    Haley's running journey started in Sacramento, CA but she now lives in San Diego, CA. The transition to SoCal life hasn't been easy, but the running community in her new home town has been welcoming and she is finding new areas to run, explore and have fun! Haley's goal with her love of running and movement is to encourage others to find what they love to do to live an active life; she strongly believes we take our ability to run (walk, swim, move...) for granted and hopes to show others that movement is fun. It doesn't have to be something we dread or something we feel we

One day when I was 9 years old, I remember feeling sad and confused about the harsh realities of the world. In a moment of tears I found myself at the foot the Jade plant and clutching its fleshy green leaves I asked, "Why am I here?" It was then that I heard bright and clear that I was here to be a healer of the plants and to share plant magic healing with people. In this way they, the humans, will learn to remember why they are here as well. From that day on I knew that the magic of the garden would always live within my soul. I named my business after the rhythms of the earth that called me to my purpose souls dharma. This love for healing modalities has taken me on a magnificent journey and I find myself happiest when I'm learning or talking about herbal healing. Many people are looking for answers about their state of dis-ease and this flames my desire to share herbal and Ayurvedic wisdom with my community. My highest calling is to use herbal nerdiness, by making herbal formulas, guiding others into heal
