Bridgett Erickson, CMT
Teacher, Mama, Artist — Bridgett started teaching yoga in 2005. She fell for meditation as she started motherhood in 2006. She woke up to her calling to thai yoga bodywork and the healing qualities of mandala in 2017. It was a childhood delight, creating pattern and shape, that she lost through the rigor of traditional mathematics. Both studies have enriched her understanding of her personal pleasures and life’s mysteries. Nature. Breath. Space. Embodiment. The internal landscape of a body and the potential expansiveness of our human experience are intertwined in her attention to sacred shapes in the body and in art.

Lo Opseth, CMT 
Lo graduated from Health Works Institute in Bozeman, MT and has been practicing massage since 2006. Over the years she has acquired skills from working at spas and chiropractic/ PT offices. She feels lucky that her previous work environments deepened her knowledge of treating the body with effective modalities that she was taught and trained in from other massage therapists and healthcare providers. She loves being able to aid in the healing process of the body and the connection it brings with her co-workers and clients.
