The Team

Julia Reed
Founder of One of a Kind Yoga
Hi! My name is Julia, and I am the founder of One of a Kind Yoga. I'm 23 years old and a Buffalo Native. After working in Skilled Nursing Facilities as an OTA, I realized my calling was elsewhere. To help people heal their body, mind, and soul through holistic art practices. When I lived in California for a short time, I met an amazing group of Women who inspired me to bring my passions back to the 716 and start One of A Kind Yoga. I perform 1:1 Reiki, cupping therapy, Human Design Readings, as well as teach somatic dance classes & 3 different level yoga classes!

Alyssa Nicotera
Power Yoga Instructor
My name is Alyssa Nicotera and I have been practicing yoga for seven years. My journey with yoga began after finishing my collegiate volleyball career and looking for a new way to move my body as I aged out of competitive athletics. As someone who has had dedicated gym time since 14, I wanted something that didn’t feel like work. Power yoga gives me the satisfaction of a complete workout, by combining strength with cardio, without having to strain my joints in the process.

Emily Bernier
Childcare Lead & Photographer
Hi, my name is Emily Bernier and I am a portrait photographer from Buffalo, NY! Photography has been a passion of mine since I was 16 years old. I graduated from Alfred University with my BFA in Art and Design and focused on photography throughout my time there. I love capturing a special moment that can last a lifetime and telling stories through creative imagery. I currently work with Bella Baby as a newborn photographer which has made me great with babies! I have years of experience with childcare, as well as a love for playing with my boyfriends niece and nephew.
