Life Coaching
Are you changing careers, navigating a major loss, starting a new business, retiring after a long career, or just struggling to find your spark again? Our unique approach to life coaching is focused on helping you navigate change, tap into your unique gifts, and become the hero of your own journey.
Developing a Daily Meditation Practice
Daily meditation is one of the most simple things you can do to support your health and wellbeing. We are trained in various forms of meditation including iRest® Yoga Nidra, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Transcendental and Himalayan meditation techniques. We also have experience with the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza. We can help you learn to meditate and develop a daily practice that best suits you and your life.
Detoxification & Digestive Health
Your gut is your "second brain" and foundational to your immune system and overall wellbeing. The path to good health starts here, and we are here to help you navigate it.
Yoga Therapy
We teach therapeutic yoga, breathwork, and meditation adapted for people of all ages, abilities, and disabilities. Susan is a Certified Yoga Therapist (I-AYT) who's been working with amputees, elderly, and children for two decades.

About Us
Jamie & Susan Alden
We are healers, teachers and servant leaders. Our dedication to service stems back to our time in the military. We are both West Point graduates and former Army officers.
Our journey into the health and wellness industry began in 2003 when we launched The Open Door in Fayetteville, NC, the first holistic wellness center of its kind in that community. During this time, we also started leading transformational retreats in partnership with organic farmers and Native American elders. In 2007, we put down roots on Oahu and immersed ourselves in the Hawaiian culture and healing practices. We started leading retreats with some of the most impactful elders in the Native Hawaiian community. Over the past 20 years, yoga has been a consistent presence in our lives personally and professionally. Our yogic lineage extends to where we trained in Northern India and the ancient teachings of the Himalayas.
Our military service, the training and work we've done in Western healthcare models, and our vast experiences with indigenous elders have impacted our lives and influence what we teach. We like to think of our unique offerings as ancient medicine for a modern world.
