Tanya Kelly

LMT, ERYT200, CYT 500

Tanya practices therapeutic massage with a specialization in Abdominal Therapy (Maya Abdominal Massage) She is a lifelong learner who enjoys connecting multiple modalities to create an empowered healing experience. She has a passion for demystifying the body so that her clients better understand their body and its healing processes. This is especially important to her because her learning process has been sparked by her own physical challenges. 

Tanya’s areas of study have included yoga, breath work, movement, pain science, anatomy with deeper dives into plantar fasciitis and foot pain, back pain, core and pelvic floor function, scar work and abdominal massage. She understands that many common challenges of “normal aging” can be successfully addressed through movement, mindfulness and massage. 

Tanya loves working with clients who are curious, willing to explore both modern and ancient traditional healing methods and who want to live more fully. “ITs about being able to take walks, get up and down from the floor and live life in the way that you want”.

Lisa Moran

BS, CI, CH

Lisa experienced her first hypnosis session at a spirituality program in 2012, where she became aware of the power of the subconscious mind. Through her ongoing study of hypnosis and other transformational tools, she learned to tap into her mind’s potential to create its own positive change. This allowed her to let go of limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns, release blame and judgment, and cultivate a positive mindset to create a life she loves. Now, Lisa is dedicated to supporting individuals on their own journey toward self-discovery and well-being. 

Lisa earned her hypnosis certification in 2020, as well as a bachelor’s degree in instructional design, so she could help others discover the wonderful power and potential that each of us holds within. Her unique combination of training and background enable her to create personalized and effective experiences tailored to each person’s specific needs and goals. Lisa has a passion for helping people succeed and has assisted people in overcoming challenges such as phobias, unwanted habits, feelings of overwhelm, as well as in achieving goals, boosting confidence, and simply enjoying life.
