Meet HLY Owner, Alyssa Mancini: Herbalist, Yoga Instructor, Reiki Master, Holistic Health Coach & Science Educator
Hi, I'm Alyssa!
Yoga and herbal medicine have been guiding lights on my journey, helping me navigate the demanding world of teaching high school biology and chemistry in New York City for over thirteen years. The profound impact these practices had on my well-being and resilience inspired me to deepen my knowledge and pursue my passions.
Driven by a desire to share the transformative power of yoga and herbal medicine, I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2013. This training deepened my personal practice and equipped me with the tools to guide others on their own yoga journeys.
In 2016, I embraced the world of herbalism through a clinical herbalism apprenticeship. During this apprenticeship, I helped take care of a herbal medicine wheel at a community garden. It was in this garden that I fell in love with learning about plants. After graduating from my apprenticeship, I taught herbalism in the New York City School System for two years. My students and I would venture on plant walks, exploring the school's courtyard and identifying native medicinal plants. We nurtured and cared for our own grow boxes, cultivating a deeper connection to nature and the healing properties of plants. Through hands-on activities, my students learned the art of drying and processing herbs and creating their own herbal tea blends, tinctures, oils, and salves.
As a dedicated practitioner and educator, I bring the wisdom of yoga, herbal medicine, and science together, empowering individuals and communities to discover their own path to wellness and vitality. With a focus on holistic healing and mindful living, I offer herbal consultations, yoga classes, herbal workshops, reiki sessions and personalized wellness protocols.

My name is Dorin McBride and I am a level 3 Master Reiki Practitioner. I have been practicing Reiki since 2015 and I completed my Level 3 training here with Alyssa Mancini in November of 2023. I am very excited to offer Reiki services now at Herbs Love and Yoga! I use my intuition to help guide my hands and my focus during each session and I strive to make our time together as insightful, restful and rejuvenating as possible. I believe that Reiki can be beneficial for all (humans and animals) and I will start each session by discussing your comfort levels and goals.
If you would like to schedule a Reiki session with me, I can be reached by email at dorinmcbridereiki@gmail.com. I follow Herbs Love and Yoga’s store hours for private sessions. Rates: 1 Hour = $100 30 Minutes = $60 |
