Christin Shaffer LMT / CST
Hello beautiful soul. I’m Christin. A little bit about me: I am a creative, expressive & active person! In my free time, I spend a lot of time learning, making art & music. I am constantly listening to audiobooks & podcasts related to my field of work or personal development. I practice daily movement & meditation to harmonize with my joyfully flowing schedule & I encourage all of my clients to instill these practices for themselves. Most importantly, I believe that authenticity is alchemy & I have woven that into the fabric of how I do work & do business. My goal is for my clients to feel safe, seen & held in their authenticity.
I began my bodywork journey with the desire to help people process trauma out of their body through Somatic therapies. I wanted people to be able to break the cycle of disconnecting from their body & learn how to trust being fully in & listening to their body as an active participant with life. Thus my business motto “transformation for every body” was born.

Hello beautiful soul. I’m Alicia. A little bit about me: I am a giant nerd in my free time. You’ll find me playing Dungeons & Dragons with my family while I snuggle with my cats. I also geek out on physiology & have a solid deadlift form, so I’ve got you!
My career journey began in biochemistry, but I quickly discovered that engineering allopathic drugs was not my scene. I went on to teach science & math, but I only continued to burst at the seams with unresolved purpose. Everything changed when I discovered Reiki, which led to becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist (& I have never looked back!).
My favorite aspects of being a healer are allowing people space to experience unconditional acceptance & giving them hope. Hope their bodies can heal; hope their futures will be brighter.

Ember Orion MMT
Hey soul explorer! I'm Ember. A little about me: I’m a science and fantasy enthusiast, so when I’m not out hiking or enjoying some live music, you might catch me nose-deep in a book about particle physics or writing my next D&D campaign. I’m fascinated by the way science and spirituality intertwine, and I love exploring the "why and how" behind what makes us all tick.
I’ll be honest–when I began my trauma recovery journey 6 years ago, I never could have guessed this is where I would end up! My path to becoming a meditation teacher and mindful wellness practitioner has been full of twists, turns, and many dark nights. But it’s given me an immense love for helping others heal, and a tremendous amount of insight into how trauma (and healing!) impacts the mind and body. I’m still in awe of what I’ve been able to accomplish in my own healing work, and I’m so excited to be able to share all of the tools I’ve learned and developed over the years!
If there’s one thing I hope my clients take away from our time together, it’s the belief that each of you, as you are right now, are absolutely worthy of love, belonging, and a life full of authenticity and joy. And no matter where you are on your journey, you’re exactly where you need to be to create your best possible future.
With love,
Ember Orion
