Maura Riordan

Yoga, Chair Yoga, & Reiki 

Introduced to meditation and yoga at an early age by her mother, Maura has always been passionate about the mind/body connection and the benefits yoga provides. Her dedication to her personal yoga practice led her to the Ahimsa School of Yoga where she completed her 200 hour certification program. She studied traditional Hatha yoga from the Sivananda Lineage and has experience teaching classes such as Chair Yoga, Prenatal, Meditation and All Levels from Beginner to Advanced as well as teaching at retreats and leading workshops. She is also a Certified Reiki Practitioner and attained an Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Certification. Maura finds that the practice of yoga is about finding balance, peace and strength both on and off the mat. She believes that in order to create peace within our families, communities and world, we must first find that balance and peace within ourselves. She has found that a consistent practice allows one to honor their True Authentic Self while cultivating compassion. By teaching students to mindfully move their bodies while connecting to their breath, she guides them through their own unique personal journey of self transformation.

Pam Kinckner

Personal Training & Chair Fitness

Hello my name is Pam and I started my Personal Training career in 2014.  I had to stop my business and head back to the office, 3 1/2 years. I realized I was miserable.  I made the decision to get recertified again this past August. Working with my clients gives me such happiness.  We get to know each other to the point were we become friends.  I love guiding them through their workouts and helping them become a stronger and healthier person.  I am a high energy trainer who believes in laughter.  With me you will laugh a lot and become healthier and actually enjoy working out.

Circuit Training will include stations set up (5 or 6 time depending) that individuals will perform. They will be timed exercises. Example: 45 seconds doing squats, 20 seconds to move to next station and/or to get ready for next exercise, then 45 seconds to do bicep curls, 20 seconds to move to station, etc. Depending on the time of class (30/60 minutes) we will try to do 5/6 rounds, with a warm-up in the beginning and end with stretching.

Shea Kennedy, CHom, C.HP

Sound Baths & Homeopathy

Shea Kennedy, CHom is a classical Homeopathic and Sound and Vibration Practitioner. I started this wonderful journey over 15 years ago when my oldest was an infant. I noticed that after each well visit, he would become sick. Each time I would call his pediatrician they always prescribed antibiotics. I began to feel that conventional medicine was not the approach I wanted for my children. I became interested in homeopathy upon my research in an alternative approach. I found homeopathy helped with many common ailments including colds, ear infections, behavioral and emotional issues, including ADHD, and PANDAS. Every problem that came up was improved with the help of homeopathy.

Eventually our entire family was using homeopathy as our main form of healthcare.

After seeing the improvement homeopathy provided for my children, myself, family, and friends I decided to pursue my interest to begin studying homeopathy and sound therapy. I am a graduate of Lotus Health Institute and I continue my education with Northwestern Academy of Homeopathy, PHI Institute, and I have my certification as a HP supervisor from FHCI (Free and Healthy Children International).

Jeff S.

Sun Kyeong

A fortuitous encounter with a Korean Qi master 18 years ago forever altered the course of Jeff’s life.  Jeff reluctantly accepted a QI Session from this unassuming man.  In the days and nights that followed, he felt a relief that was immediate and profound.  “It was like someone had released the air out of a very tightly filled balloon, I slept deeply. I could not remember feeling this content. I was filled with curiosity and questions. How could someone possess the power to create a shift so vast and meaningful in the course of one session?” Six months later this curiosity took Jeff deep into the mountains of South Korea where he trained alongside some of the world’s foremost Qi masters. As the months and years passed he felt stronger, more positive, lighter. In 2011, Jeff became a Qi Master.
