Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB), the highest voluntary credential a massage therapist can obtain within the profession—it is above and beyond entry level state licensure. By becoming Board Certified, I represent a community of therapists who have gone above standard educational and work experience requirements with a dedicated and lifelong commit to continuing education. Furthermore, I live up to higher standards and ethics in alignment with The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). To achieve my Board Certification, I provided proof of a minimum of 750 hours of education, 250 hours of professional, hands-on work experience, passed a criminal background check, agreed to uphold NCBTMB's Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics, and passed the Board Certification Exam. By passing the BCETMB and meeting all requirements, I demonstrate advanced assessment and critical thinking skills, as well as a commitment to excellence. I wear the credentials BCTMB with pride for myself, my profession, and, most importantly, my clients. Certified Pilates Teacher Pilates is a form of exercise to build balance and strength. We will work the full body with specific focus on controlling the core through movement. I teach 2 types, Mat pilates and Reformer pilates at this time which gives my clients options depending on ailments and the work that needs to be addressed in their body. I look forward to creating a strong healthy body for you. Certified Yoga Teacher Yoga, connecting mind and body through pause, breath and movement. Yoga classes with me are an integrative style that build throughout the session to progress into deeper more vibrant poses. This way of class structure warms the body, builds the balance and strength to waken those muscles that will be the accent of the session.

Pilates Teacher

I started doing mat pilates when I lived in China during quarantine and lockdowns. The movement, focus, control, breath helped me appreciate and cultivate gratitude for the ways I could use and take care of my body though I couldn’t step outside. While abroad I was able to access pilates studios and try a variety of Reformer, Mat, Lagree, Mega-former, and Pi-Yo fusion classes offered in different locations. The beautiful thing about trialing these while abroad, is that the focus and function for the classes all had a common denominator, and brought so many different bodies together for a common goal: function, mobility, strength, longevity and appreciation for movement. I moved home from China, and was met with an unexpected and unfortunate reality that my dad was diagnosed with a terminal brain illness. I commuted from Laramie to Cheyenne to care for him, and found respite at Wellness Collective taking pilates and yoga sculpt classes as a way to take care of myself while care giving. The connection to the studio blossomed into me teaching yoga, then getting certified to teach mat classes, then the spark to become a pilates teacher so I could share the gift I received (continue to receive) from it, with others. I continue to recreate outdoors doing activities I love and use the knowledge I have from anatomy, movement principles, and pilates foundations to access those hobbies with form that will allow me to do them for as long as possible! That helps keep the flame ignited and burning bright to infuse into classes and to support individual client goals for movement. Getting certified is nothing to be trifled with; it requires time, commitment and to have a mindset of being a life long learner. With that being said, my goal is to continue with training to become comprehensively certified, and then hope to take the NPCP test to become a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher. For me this is important because I have a deep interest in the original method, the purpose behind it: the mat work, the equipment, the biomechanics, and the discipline that Joseph Pilates intended. Pilates has evolved so much in the last 100+ years, which brings innovation to the method- as well as myriad instagram reels, influencers and the attainment of a “pilates bodies.” I want to protect the integrity of the method. Advocate for every BODY having access to movement; for me a certification of the full-system represents my commitment to my clients, the roots of the work, and teaching with depth and precision.

Chellie Kirkwood

Pilates & Yoga Teacher

I’ve explored Mat Pilates on and off for a few years, but it really became a consistent practice and something I fell in love with more recently once I stepped into a studio environment. I’ve practiced yoga for over 20 years and became certified in 2023, beginning to teach shortly after. Pilates was something I had played around with here and there, but it wasn’t until I joined the studio when it first opened that I really fell in love with it. Something about the method, the precision, and how it made me feel just clicked. With the support and mentorship of Misty Peterson, it grew into a true passion and something I felt really called to share with others. I also know I’ll always be a student of the craft, continuing to learn and grow right alongside my clients. Taking care of my own body is a big part of how I’m able to show up well for others. I prioritize my own movement practice, along with regular visits to the studio’s massage therapist to help keep my body supported, aligned, and feeling its best. Staying consistent with my own movement is a non-negotiable for me. Continued learning is something I really value and stay actively engaged in. Some of my continuing education includes The Art of Touch/Spotting, Reformer on the Mat, Foam Roller 101, Kettlebell training, and Breathwork. I’m always drawn to anything that deepens my understanding of anatomy, connection, and how to better support people in their movement. What matters most to me is creating a space where people feel capable exactly as they are. I’m not here to teach toward an aesthetic or an ideal shape. I truly believe every body is already capable of strength, control, and progress without fitting into some imagined box. Whether it’s someone’s very first class or they’ve been moving with me for a long time, I want them to feel confident stepping in, knowing they are able, supported, and fully capable of doing the work in front of them.

Donna Homkes

Pilates Teacher

I have been teaching for 30+ years. My desire to be certified in pilates came from my passion for dance. I wanted to work on my personal goals to truly understand core engagement and movement patterns. I spent years practicing and applying that knowledge into my life and my years of teaching. I am always learning. Education has been a crucial part of my life. I continue to research topics of interest. I am continuously reviewing my many books on pilates exercises. Every time I read how to execute a movement, I feel as though I have learned something new. My love for exercise, of all forms, started early in life. I first became a certified group fitness instructor while in high school and taught classes within our military community. My life has been an amazing journey involving dance, travel, teaching, and endless learning. My educational journey has been so rewarding. Attaining my Ph.D. has allowed me to experience life on so many different levels. My general fitness experience includes, but not limited to, certifications in personal training, yoga, aquatics, and kettlebell training. I love love love to teach beginners! I get such pleasure in seeing the clients make mind-body connections. Certifications: DK Body Balancing Method Powerhouse Pilates

Pilates Teacher

Pilates truly changed the way I experience movement. It showed me that you can feel strong, supported, and challenged all at the same time, without needing to push or punish your body. That shift is what led me to teaching. I wanted to share something that feels sustainable, encouraging, and genuinely good. I take care of myself by staying consistent in my own Pilates practice and spending time moving outside, especially walking and hiking. I also love cooking and incorporating strength training to stay balanced. I’m continuing my education and plan to complete Reformer Levels 2 and 3 over the next year. I hope to curate a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and confident in your body. Movement that meets you where you are and leaves you feeling better when you leave.
