Dantayama Yoga (rehab yoga), E-RYT 500
As a Holistic Health Practitioner, 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 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. We like to affectionately refer to this style as rehab yoga!!

From an early age, I have been fascinated by the impact words, colors, and music have on our inner and outer worlds. And, throughout my life I have explored this impact in multiple ways. From using my words to open the minds of my clients when I was in the business world, to bringing people’s beings to life in my pastel portraits, I have always striven to help people articulate and find their truths. And then there is the music and the movement that helps us anchor those truths in our bodies, most often through dance.
This lifetime passion to better understand and embody the power of words, colors, and music, and to use those tools to help myself and others become our clearest selves, has led me to explore multiple communication, creation, and transformation modalities over the years. And thankfully, 2 years ago that passionate exploration led me to Chakradance, Rhythm for Your Soul. I cannot imagine a more beautiful, complex, yet uncomplicated way to feed my passions, and bring deep peace and healing to the people I serve. Come dance with me…feel the words, embrace the colors, live the music!
In addition to being a Chakradance Facilitator I am a:

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.
