The Heart Behind EmpowerMe

I’m Briana Morford, a licensed special educator and yoga teacher with a passion for supporting others in reaching their full potential.

I have served this population in various capacities over the past 11 years. From providing respite and habilitation care to teaching K-12 students, advocating, case managing, and coaching, my journey has been deeply fulfilling.

My experiences have shaped a deep appreciation for the power of mindful movement, yoga, breathwork, and community. Seeing the transformative impact of these tools, I founded EmpowerMe to offer a holistic approach to development beyond the limitations of traditional school systems.
