Briana Waddell

Aura Institute Founder, Somatics Coach, RYT 200

My life is a mission to support others in their healing and harmonizing process. The daughter of two holistic doctors, I’ve always held an insatiable hunger to learn and study with the best psychologists, spiritual teachers, and wellness minds. From a young age, I’ve been fascinated by anything that helps us live a life aligned with our most divine nature.

My love of wellness led me to become a yoga teacher and Integrative NLP practitioner. I also studied HUNA, an ancient form of Hawaiian medicine. Through all my studies, one message continued to resurface: healing trauma is essential to any wellness path, and that starts with the body. This insight is what led me to create the Aura Institute.
