As a Holistic Health Practitioner, E-RYT 500 Yoga Teacher, Intuitive Massage Therapist, and Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist for the past 40 years, I have integrated a variety of yoga styles that I have practiced and been trained in and Dantayama (rehab) Yoga was the result. The most defining feature of Dantayama Yoga is, “Support=Release”. Properly supported yoga poses allow muscles to let go of tension and return to their natural, relaxed state. In order to quiet the mind, we must first quiet the body to access a deeper, sweeter sense of self.
Monday: 11 am to 12:30 pm

After living in pain for many years Grace experienced amazing results doing posture therapy exercises, as described in the book, Pain Free – A Revolutionary Method for Stopping Chronic Pain, by Pete Egoscue. Prior to discovering the Egoscue Method, she was a NASM certified personal trainer, corrective exercise specialist and senior fitness trainer. But she and many of her senior clients continued to have pain and limitations, despite all of that training and diligent efforts to follow learned protocols, and to do the “right” thing. When Grace started doing posture therapy exercises and found that they helped to keep her pain free and active, she became certified as a posture alignment specialist through the Egoscue Institute. She felt she had finally found what it was that she wanted to do forever. She is now also a PTX-licensed and concierge therapist with PTX Therapy, and she sees clients privately in her studio in downtown Sequim.

Francesca is now offering monthly Sound Baths and Tibetan Bowls at Blue Mountian Yoga+. She is a Maha Reiki Teacher/ Practitioner, a Maha Cranial Practitioner, and a Certified Reflexologist.
She founded Artemisia Healing Arts in 2019 with the desire to be of service. At the time, she was studying Reiki and Tibetan Cranial was given the opportunity to serve the Tacoma and Sequim community. As she stepped into the work she was guided on how to tune in with subtle energies. When engaging with the archetypes such as Art, Harmony, and Nature’s healing frequencies we easily tap into Joy, Passion, and Prosperity Consciousness. We then begin to receive unique gifts and can inspire others by simply being ourselves in the most natural and authentic way. The Universe supports us completely as we align with our purpose.

Olivia Avery is a holistic wellness coach in the Pacific Northwest. She is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer Nutrition Coach and a Certified Flexibility Coach with Yoga Body. She works with people online and in person to help them feel connected with their bodies, enjoy movement, and build healthy sustainable habits. Health and wellness are not one size fit all. Olivia approaches each client knowing their needs, goals, and values will be unique to them. With this client-based approach, Olivia can help people align with their goals and gain confidence in navigating the ebbs and flows of life. Understanding everyone is unique, it is very frustrating to know what is right for you when we are bombarded by conflicting ideas of health and wellness on social media and in diet culture. Frustrated by this and her own experiences, Olivia set out in 2019 to learn for herself what happens to the body when we exercise and became a Certified Personal Trainer with NASM. Recently she finished her Certification as a Nutrition Coach to help people understand nutrition and how to create realistic, sustainable healthy changes in their life.
