Meet Your Wellness Professionals…

Jessica Merwin - Owner of new moon yoga studio

A war veteran, turned yogi… Hi! I’m Jess, and I’m on a mission to help people master their energy, release stress, cultivate inner resourcefulness and become radically resilient. I am a certified HeartMath Mentor and an actively practicing Kundalini Yoga Teacher and I’ve spent over a decade studying the effects of stress on our bodies and quality of life.

As someone who started a career in the military and later on went to numb my discontent with toxic substances, I spent way too many years consumed by stress. It wasn’t loving to myself and I knew that. Which is why when I saw a different, more self-conscious, self-compassionate way to live, I made the decision to change.

While it’s been a continuous process of mastery and self-love, I’m proud to say that I’m in love with life, I live in a deep state of gratitude and my deepest desire is for more people to experience what changing stress into inspiration and empowerment feels like.

Shelley Smith

Hi, I’m Shelley. As a longtime ashtanga yoga practitioner and teacher I've experienced the power of yoga to create positive change in myself and others. Devoted yoga practice can be a path to greater self-awareness, enhanced wellbeing, and deep personal transformation. It’s also a healthy and effective tool to manage the stresses of life in our ever-changing world.

I invite you to join me in vigorous ashtanga or soothing yin classes, detailed intro-to-yoga courses, and monthly moon circles.

Kellie Schneider

Hi, I'm Kellie Schneider - a sacred sound practitioner with a passion for sound healing, breath awareness, meditation, and yoga. My background includes training in various modalities such as sound healing, therapeutic harp, and yoga. As a registered yoga teacher (RYT 200) with additional certifications in Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra, I blend gentle yoga, meditation, and sound to create an integrated experience.

I'm deeply committed to sharing therapeutic sound-based practices that promote relaxation, healing, and inner resonance in a gentle and nurturing way. I believe that prioritizing rest and intentionally engaging with the resonant power of sacred sound can unlock profound physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits that reverberate through every aspect of our lives, leading to a greater sense of wellbeing, connection, and wholeness.

Join me for a journey into the transformative magic of sound in an upcoming class or private session. Learn more about these offerings at https://ritma.rest/ and feel free to reach out to me directly at kellieschneider@gmail.com.

With gratitude, and wishing you harmonious blessings,

Kellie

Courtney Wiggins

Hello friends! This is Courtney Wiggins (they/them). I am a Vibrational Sound Therapist, End-of-life, lay herbalist, Reiki 1 practitioner, and community lover/dreamer/builder/weaver/facilitator/activist.

I received my Vibrational Sound Therapist Certified Practitioner (VSTCP) certification in September of 2019. I am a proud graduate of the Vibrational Sound Association’s VSTCP program.

My goal is to help you find peace and relaxation through the gentle tones and soothing vibrations of Himalayan singing bowls and other interesting instruments. The bowls I use are designed specifically to produce greater vibrations and resonance when used on the body. The vibrations and sound work together to entrain our brains, which can put our mind/body into a theta or even delta state – much like meditation. Relaxation is key to letting the body return to good health. These bowls are also amazing for sound immersions, which I will be facilitating or you can reach out to schedule a private sound immersion or sound therapy session at joyfulnoisesoundtherapy@gmail.com.

I look forward to being in community with you!

DAN WALTER

Dan Walter certified meditation and breathwork coach and 9dbreathwork facilitator. I have taken many paths in my life. My journey started 30plus years ago finding my roots connecting with nature following down a path of a shaman. As I stayed grounded to the earth, my path took a turn and I let alcohol take control. Deciding it was time to take my life back, I turned to breathwork.

Part of my healing is to help others heal themselves, Reconnect, release and let go of the past, live the life we all deserve. The 9dbreathwork session's I facilitate work with somatic breathing techniques and sounds. Working from the bottom up, connecting the body, mind and spirit.
