Our story

Amanda Bailey is passionate about creating spaces where people can simply arrive as they are, without expectation, performance, or pressure.

Amanda believes that healing doesn't come from becoming someone new - it comes from returning to ourselves. Through mindful movement, meditation, sound healing, and immersive retreats, she encourages others to cultivate presence, resilience, and self-compassion while reconnecting with the wisdom that already exists within them.

As a Hot Pilates instructor, sound healing facilitator, microblading artist, entrepreneur, and founder of Luna Alchemy, Amanda is known for her nurturing presence and intuitive guidance. Her sound journeys are immersive experiences designed to support deep relaxation, reflection, and restoration. Whether someone is navigating a life transition, carrying the weight of everyday stress, or simply longing for a moment to breathe, she creates an environment where people often feel deeply held, supported, and renewed.

When she's not teaching, facilitating sound journeys, creating beautiful brows, or hosting retreats, Amanda can often be found exploring the mountains, hiking, paddleboarding, or spending time with her two adventurous boys. She believes some of life's greatest healing happens through simple moments - sharing a meal, walking beneath the trees, taking a deep breath, and connecting in genuine community.

Likhita is a yoga teacher, movement guide, ceremony facilitator, ThetaHealing practitioner, and the creator of E-Motion Movement. Through these practices, she creates grounded and welcoming spaces where people can soften, listen inward, and reconnect with their own wisdom.

Her approach is intuitive, embodied, and deeply rooted in the belief that the body is an intelligent instrument - one that is always communicating, guiding, and inviting us into greater presence. Her yoga classes are woven around themes, intention, philosophy, and reflection, allowing students to drop more deeply into their bodies and experience the practice beyond the asana. She is especially passionate about Yin Yoga and the wisdom it offers: through longer holds, stillness, and mindful sensation, students learn to remain present with discomfort rather than immediately resisting, fixing, or escaping it.

Beyond yoga, Likhita guides ecstatic dance through thoughtfully curated musical journeys that invite freedom, play, and authentic expression. Through E-Motion Movement, cacao ceremony, and one-on-one ThetaHealing sessions, she creates opportunities for emotional release, deeper self-awareness, and meaningful connection. Across every offering, her work carries the same invitation: to slow down, come home to the body, and trust what is within.

Ren is passionate about creating cohesive classes that connect breath to movement in a grounding flow.

Katelyn was 8 years old when she attended her first yoga class. She had so much fun that she knew right away yoga would be a part of her future - she never imagined she would be teaching it at the ripe age of 16, and she's so grateful that she is.

Katelyn teaches warm, fun, and inclusive all-levels yoga classes for adults, creating a welcoming space where everyone can feel supported in their practice. She is also a Master Reiki practitioner and offers private Reiki sessions, providing a safe, nurturing environment for relaxation, release, and realignment, supporting each person's unique journey toward balance and wellbeing.

Hannah grew up in a musical family loving music - and moving to it - since before she can remember. Countless hours were spent dancing up and down hallways and living rooms with her sister to a wide variety of instrumental albums, the expression and creativity flowing freely with joy.

She brings a variety of music to her offerings, creating a sacred space to allow your authentic self to express through dance and movement. From peaceful gentleness to expressive tribal bass beats - and some fun, funky stuff in between - your invitation is to drop in and refresh yourself: spirit, body, and mind.

Kathryn believes movement is medicine and considers ecstatic dance a spiritual practice that fosters a profound connection with our most authentic selves. She uses music as a platform for radical self-expression and a way of emotional release and grounding - it can be deeply healing, restorative, and fun.

Kathryn will lead you through an exploration of self and the world around you through her thoughtfully curated playlists. She loves big tribal bass beats and incorporates a diverse range of music from around the world. Kathryn is also a Reiki Master and likes to blend spiritual inquisition and reflection into her classes. Come dance and feel good!

Noelle began practicing yoga 15 years ago, sparked by the transformative experience of motherhood. Since then, she has immersed herself in the practice - a space for continual learning, presence, and transformation, whether through movement, stillness, breathwork, meditation, or group work.

She infuses a mix of modalities and training in different fields, from yogic principles to somatic experiencing with attention to the nervous system and trauma, melding them together in a way that informs and forms her own creative style - a style that neither ignores the technical, nor forgets the mystical aspects of life.

One longtime student reflects: “I love Noelle's classes because she is amazing at creating a flow that brings new life to all areas of my body, and frankly, my mind, with spot-on breath and alignment cueing - as well as creating a space that is relaxing yet never boring, because she has new variations in each practice.”

Julia is a certified health and wellness coach who works as a YMCA lifestyle coach and in Winter Ridge's wellness department. She believes in the transformative power of small groups and has participated in and facilitated women's circles for over ten years.

She is passionate about creating a more beautiful culture that is life-giving, nature-connected, and healthy for children. She loves spending quality time with her friends and family, reading a good book, sharing a good laugh, learning and growing as a person, and enjoying the lake and mountains around Sandpoint with her husband and kids.

Melissa is a certified Laughter Yoga Leader living in Sandpoint, Idaho with her husband and son. Her journey began with a commitment to heal her body through brain-rewiring techniques - and along the way, she found healing for her heart and spirit as well. Laughter Yoga has become one of the most powerful tools in her transformation, helping her reconnect to love, joy, and ease.

With warmth and joyful playfulness, she leads Laughter Yoga sessions that invite us to rewire old patterns of fear, apathy, and despair into vibrant well-being. Through voluntary laughter, child-like playfulness, deep breathing, visualization, and gentle affirmations, Melissa leads with the dream of cultivating joy and love in our hearts so we can express our truest nature.

Arleen is a 25-year, diversely trained, trauma-focused clinician with extensive experience across a wide range of clinical presentations. She is licensed in eight states - and while relocating to one of them, she fell in love with Sandpoint after her first unsuspecting visit to Evans Brothers for a quick coffee. Sandpoint is now home.

Arleen believes a good practitioner is one who has been on their own healing journey - a practitioner cannot fully show the way to a place they have not yet been themselves. Her work incorporates somatic breathwork and nervous-system healing practices for people carrying trauma, accumulated stressors, unprocessed emotions, and limiting beliefs they may not even be aware of. She is also a certified HeartMath practitioner who incorporates heart coherence and teaches heart-rate-variability training as part of healing the central nervous system.

Why does she do this work? To heal connection. First we must connect to ourselves, so that we can fully connect to others and create space within to fully experience this life.

Janet facilitates the monthly Community Grief Circle.
