About Richelle

Over 17 years ago Richelle recognized her affinity for the inner workings of the human body.  Her education and work in the fields of injury treatment and rehabilitation began early in her life and has continued through today.  She started in sports medicine, but evolved toward a career in massage and yoga therapy which focuses on injury, chronic pain and postural distortion.

Her studies in anatomy, physiology and kinesiology offer her the advantage of a deeply functional understanding of the systemic engineering of the body and the importance of always working toward balance; at EVERY level of the body/mind. Through the years Richelle has learned to integrate her various schools of practice into a multi-faceted approach to healing and teaching. She is able to tailor each treatment to the individual, combining massage treatment techniques (passive body), yoga asana (active body), breathing and meditation practice (mind body) to address the whole person.
In 2004 Richelle’s professional practice took on a whole new dimension when her yoga practice became an integral part of her own health care. She undertook Teacher Training through various avenues, which culminated in 2007 with the Yogaworks program. She earned her RYT200 certification and a position as adjunct faculty for Yogaworks, teaching the Anatomy Section in Seattle, WA and then in Vancouver, BC. She is now an integral part of the Semperviva Yoga College Teacher Training program in Vancouver; bringing a deeper understanding of anatomy to the quickly growing teaching community.
Both Massage and Yoga have taken Richelle through many amazing experiences, as a student, teacher and studio owner. As she transitions to life in Austin, TX, she looks forward to the newest incarnations of her practice.
