About the instructors:

Shelby holds a bachelors degree in psychology from Quinnipiac University. Additionally her professional career as a therapist began after she received her masters degree in Marriage and Family therapy from Eastern Nazarene College. As a LMHC Shelby worked with families needing support after traumatic events. When she started her family in 2005 she put her profession aside to focus on raising her two daughters.This is where her interest in natural remedies started. She always had an interest in wholistic treatments for her family and that increased when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2007. Because of that diagnosis she has become committed to her health and wellness. This commitment began her introduction to essential oils and the multiple uses to achieve wellness. Her passions include yoga, barre and nutrition. Over the last few years her business as an essential oil advocate has grown substantially as she educates others on using oils as part of a more wholistic approach to wellness.

Sarah is a wife, mom and paraeducator in New Boston. She is YogaFit certified and currently teaches kids and teens all about yoga and mindfulness. She has a love of health and wellness as well as moving our bodies for fun. Every day is a blessing and she does not to take that for granted. Namaste.
