Peace of Mind Yoga, Counseling, and Wellness Center

It is a beacon for individuals seeking guidance, support, and transformative experiences as they navigate life’s challenges and strive toward a balanced and peaceful existence.

The center is the brainchild of Kristina Silvestry, a passionate, committed, and seasoned professional in the field of mental health. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey, Kristina’s journey into wellness was profound and multifaceted. Inspired by her encounter with Sandplay Therapy under the guidance of Ruth Castellano, she began to explore more deeply the intricate relationship between mind, body, and spirit and its significance in holistic healing.

This exploration led Kristina to become trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and earn her Certified Clinical Trauma Professional designation. These modalities, combined with her extensive work in non-profit organizations in the trauma field, fortified her commitment to providing a safe and nurturing environment for individuals to grapple with and overcome their unique life experiences.

Kristina’s endeavor didn’t stop there. She recognized the integral role of somatic wellness in mental health and earned her 500-hour yoga teacher certification from NJ Yoga Teacher Training. Her journey further took her into the world of Trauma-Informed Yoga with a certificate from BodyWise Foundation. She also undertook training with the Accessible Yoga Training Academy. She embarked on specialized trainings like Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga and Healing Trauma Training, deepening her understanding of the intricacies of trauma and its healing.

Yet, it is not just Kristina’s professional achievements that shape the ethos of Peace of Mind Yoga, Counseling, and Wellness Center. Her journey plays an equally important role. From being a dedicated mother and wife, a curious lifelong learner, an avid swimmer, a student of meditation and yoga, a lover of nature, a gardening enthusiast, to an iced mocha aficionado, each facet of her personal life contributes to her holistic approach to wellness.

In finding and renovating a space adjacent to the existing Peace of Mind Counseling practice, Kristina realized her vision of creating an environment where individuals could feel safe, accessible, and comfortable. A place where they can delve into movement and meditation and embark on their unique path toward holistic health and wellness.

The Peace of Mind Yoga, Counseling, and Wellness Center values every individual’s journey. The wide range of offerings, including EMDR, Sandplay Therapy, Trauma-Informed Yoga, and Trauma-Informed Meditation, underscores the center’s commitment to meeting the unique needs of every individual who steps through its doors. Every service is designed to nurture the body, soothe the mind, and invigorate the spirit, creating a bespoke healing experience for each individual.

In a world that often feels fast-paced and stressful, Peace of Mind Yoga, Counseling, and Wellness Center is a haven where individuals can slow down, breathe, and focus on their wellness journey. Guided by Kristina’s unwavering dedication and a holistic approach to health and healing, the center embodies a unique blend of professional expertise, personal touch, and genuine empathy. It is more than just a wellness center. It’s a home, a guide, and a partner on the path to self-discovery, healing, and peace.
