Whether this is your first time trying yoga or you've been practicing for decades, yoga offers an opportunity to deepen our connection with ourselves. By becoming consciously aware of our movements and our breath, we not only strengthen our physical body, but our minds, as well.

Melissa Stout, Yoga Instructor
RYT 200
I’ve been teaching yoga for the past 10 years, and I’m constantly amazed by the connection it brings to the body, mind, and soul. Yoga is a gift I’m excited to share with others, encouraging individuals to feel “at home” in their own bodies. As a cancer survivor, I started gaining a deeper interest and understanding of eastern and holistic medicine, and I’m currently working on a Masters Degree in Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine with the goal of becoming an Ayurvedic Practitioner.

Cassy Burlingame, therapist
SISU is a Finnish word that closely translates to strength of will, determination, and perseverance. Sisu is tapping into the strength beyond what you initially thought you had. As your therapist, I aim to help you find your sisu and overcome barriers keeping you from experiencing well-being and peace while providing the affirmation you need to feel supported.
My experience as a school social worker and a medical social worker in a tier-one trauma center has given me a well-rounded perspective of the unique challenges children, professionals, and adults experience in these settings. I specialize in evidence-based trauma treatment, family therapy, and multi-systemic therapy utilizing a holistic perspective.
