Practitioners
Dan was attuned to Reiki at 13! He has been fine tuning his practice ever since then, and became a Reiki master in 2010 in the Usui Reiki Ryoho lineage. His kind heart, sense of humor and authentic spirit shine through his healing work.
On the days he is not assisting at the studio or holding sessions, he is completing a degree in history at Temple University or treasure hunting for beautiful things for the studio boutique. He is a fountain of amazing facts- ask him just about anything, and then be prepared to sit for awhile and get a complete rundown on whatever you asked!
Dan is available for Reiki sessions at our healing Cottage on Mondays, Wednesdays, and some weekends.
One of Dan's recent clients commented on his healing sessions, "Dan's energy was completely different from any other sessions I have experienced." Another said, "I felt my anger flowing out of me and I felt better than I had in months." (BTW - she was not mad at Dan ☺)
Katie is a certified Reiki master. She loves using this healing energy on others, especially all of her animals. She is training to become a Bach Flower Essences practitioner for humans and animals. Katie has a BA in English from Temple University and is a certified Red Cross Instructor teaching CPR/AED/First Aid courses at the studio and other locations.
She also loves to cook, and is always whipping up delightful treats for studio functions or just whenever she feels like it! She walks, especially with Sophie, her German Shepard, and writes and paints. She plans on writing a book someday. Among her other duties are studio manager (she can fix anything), boutique buyer, and keeping Liz focused doing what she is supposed to do!
Liz is our resident yoga guru and "Chief Peacock." Her light and breezy air inspires all around her to practice with compassion, humor and always with joy. She
leads her classes with enthusiasm, and feels this practice is magical- bringing joy, sweat, peace and life to you each time you step onto the mat Liz is an E-RYT
500 Yoga Alliance teacher and has studied with Shiva Rea, Baron Baptiste and many others. She received her Reiki Master training in 2001, and uses this healing
energy everyday.
If she's not leading a yoga class or teaching future teachers, you can find her running behind her flock of guinea hens and chickens, herding the goats or leading a
pack of dogs around the pond. She has been known to spontaneously break into song and dance and is always laughing. She envisioned her own yoga studio on a serene, farmhouse setting many years before it became a reality. It is a labor of love that she works tirelessly to perfect. making sure each student is greeted with a smile and feels right at home. She is humbled by what life has provided her (family, a menagerie of pets, homestead, yoga community) and is constantly reminded that life is good.
Join her- it will change your life!
Theresa is an LMT and RYT, and joins us in the Healing Cottage after practicing in both the fitness center and chiropractic office settings. Her personality and style of corrective massage therapy match the energy of the property - calm and peaceful. She brings a soft, yet effective, touch to "deep tissue" massage working to help her clients to regain pain-free ease in motion. Her pet peeve is the misconception that deep tissue therapies are painful. As a cross fiber deep muscle and myofascial release therapist, she believes that a specific and a comprehensive approach to releasing soft tissue restriction facilitates the body's natural ability to repair and restore itself.
Like the ever-present sounds of the rooster crowing and the peacock singing, Theresa's love and knowledge for anatomy resonates throughout her conversation with her clients and students alike. She believes that the best gift you can give your body, mind and spirit is your attention. The thought helping her clients feel ease and vitality at every age lightens her heart.
When Theresa is not next to her massage table, teaching in front of a class, or on her mat in the studio, she may be enjoying a day in her garden where weeding and bird watching are the days exciting events. On weekends watch for the convertible MG Midget in town and you are likely to see Theresa navigating a rallye with her husband Larry. They hold the record for the most first prize wins in their club. Her most treasured days are when her children, granddaughters, and 7 brothers and sisters with families in tow gather in a backyard for a barbecue and a swim.
