Wellness Practitioners

Trisha Schackmuth

Licensed Massage Therapist

Trish’s wellness journey was born from personal experience. Shortly after completing her degree in Health and Human Sciences, she faced a significant injury where massage therapy played a vital role in her recovery.

Inspired to help others achieve the same relief, she became a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2015. During this time, Trish also began a consistent yoga practice to rebuild her own strength and mobility. What started as a way to get “fit” soon evolved into something deeper. She discovered that the combination of movement, breath-work, and meditation brought a new sense of peace and perspective to her life. Eager to share these benefits, Trish has dedicated herself to continuous learning. She completed her first yoga teacher training in 2016, became a certified personal trainer in 2017, and has since advanced to become a 500-hour certified yoga instructor.

When she’s not in the studio, you can find Trish enjoying a book, practicing yoga in the park, or on a long walk along the river with her partner and dog.

Emily Weiberg

Licensed Massage Therapist, Somatic Energy Worker

Emily Weiberg began her yoga practice over 10 years ago. While the asanas (poses) drew her in, it was the lifestyle that yoga provided which changed her life. The way her life transformed through practicing the mindful movements and philosophies of yoga opened her eyes to a whole new world of healing. This journey led her to becoming a Massage Therapist, Energy Worker, and Yoga Instructor so she could share these healing gifts with others.

Emily brings her knowledge of all elements of the body, physical-emotional-spiritual, into her practice. Honoring the true nature of yoga, meaning union. She enjoys providing hands-on massage techniques to support her students in releasing tension in the physical body. While moving and stretching aids in releasing the stored emotions in the body’s tissues.

Roxanne Gordon

Reiki Master Teacher, Breathwork Faciliator, Life Coach

Roxanne is a heart-centered practitioner whose work is rooted in presence, intuition, and embodied healing. Her journey began in the health and wellness world, where she earned her B.S. in Kinesiology and built a strong foundation in anatomy, movement, and the science of the body. She later became a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach, supporting clients in physical transformation and holistic well-being. Over time, her curiosity expanded beyond physical health.

While navigating her own cycles of burnout, overwhelm, and emotional disconnection—and witnessing the same patterns in her clients—Roxanne became deeply drawn to the connection between the body, emotions, and intuition. This personal exploration led her to somatic practices, breathwork, and energy healing, where she experienced the profound impact of slowing down, listening inward, and allowing the body to lead. Inspired by these shifts, Roxanne pursued extensive training in life coaching, trauma-informed breathwork facilitation, and Reiki Master Teacher certification. She now blends science-backed somatic principles with intuitive guidance and energy work, creating a grounded and holistic approach to healing. Her work honors the whole person—physical, emotional, and energetic—and reflects her belief that true change begins in the present moment.
