Kristy Wumkes
Spiritual Coach, Quantum Healer, Intuitive Guide
Are you doing all the “right” things but still feeling stuck, drained, or disconnected from the life you truly desire? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate this journey on your own.
I’m Kristy Wumkes, a Quantum Energy Healer, Channel, and Ascension Guide, here to help you clear energetic blocks, activate your divine gifts, and align with your highest timeline. By accessing the quantum field, I intuitively remove outdated energies, frequencies, programs, and soul templates that no longer serve you, while channeling divine guidance to realign you with your true path. This is your time to rise. You are being called to reconnect with your intuition, release limiting beliefs and old patterns, heal on all levels—physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual—and step fully into your divine feminine power and soul mission. When you shift your frequency, you naturally begin to manifest with ease and live in full alignment. Through quantum healing, energy activations, and intuitive guidance, I help you bridge the gap between where you are and where your soul is calling you to be—so you can experience real, lasting transformation. Are you ready to step into your next-level self? Explore my offerings and begin your transformation today.

Oliviah Shaffer - Soothe Wellness
Spinal Energetics Practitioner
As a passionate practitioner of energy and somatic work, my expertise lies in helping you release emotional and physical pain, as well as tension from your body and energetic field. I firmly believe that somatic energy healing is crucial for overcoming pain and illness, enabling individuals to transition from merely surviving to thriving.
When we don't process our thoughts, emotions, and memories, the energy they carry becomes trapped in the body, leading to blockages in our life force energy (Qi). If left unresolved, this stuck energy can impede personal growth, hinder life experiences, and may even manifest as mental and physical illness.
In my practice, I utilize Spinal Energetics, Usui/Holy Fire III Reiki, Chakra balancing, and Inner Child Embodiment, to support your healing process. It is my mission to guide you in peeling back the layers of limitation, pain, and conditioning, so that you can come home to yourself and live an aligned, rich life.Check out my website: SootheWellness.org| Follow Along: @Soothe_Wellness
Sheila Cullen
yoga and quigong teacher
I have been a long time practitioner of the more sublime movement practices of Hatha and Yin Yoga, somatic movement and Qigong. The first time I practiced Yoga Nidra, I experienced a depth of inner connection that was indescribable. The emotional release and after effects were extremely powerful. A regular combination of all of these connections with body, mind and heart have built a true sense of belonging.Check out my website: SheilaCullen.com | Follow Along: @ProjectQuietPlace

Lisa Hostetler
Kundalini Yoga Instructor
I’ve been doing Kundalini yoga for a couple of years, and it made a huge difference in my life. I had done yoga for fitness, along with other kinds of exercise activities, but Kundalini yoga is different. It helped me to tune into my internal landscape and process a lot of stored thoughts and emotions. It was so rejuvenating that I got certified as a teacher so that I can share it with others.
My previous career path was very heady and intense, as I’m sure is the case for many others. Kundalini yoga practice is the perfect counterbalance!Check out my website: LAH-Yoga| Follow Along: @LAH-Yoga-Roc

Stacie Colaprete - Paradigm Health and Lifestyle
Integrative nutrition health coach
I grew up in the Buffalo area with an absolutely wonderful family - that was the easy part. Fast forward 25 years, and I'm now located in the Finger Lakes region as a wife, mother of boys, avid reader, gardener, and crazy chicken lady with an endless (occasionally annoying) level of curiosity. Paradigm is the culmination of all my related passions - health, cooking, organic farming, education, continued learning and most importantly, a paradigm shift in the way I saw myself, the world, and myself in the world. One of the things I discovered in that shift was how vitally important to my own health it is that I find purpose and deep meaning in my work. Consequently, this health and wellness practice is born. We're all on a journey - it would be my honor to be a small part of yours. 2023-Current Institute for Integrative Nutrition (SUNY Purchase)

Holistic medicine and natural modalities of healing have always been something Lauren has been passionate about. Working as a registered nurse and registered yoga teacher, she strives to incorporate these interests into her work as a healer.

Outside of the studio, you can find Lauren buying cosmetically-challenged vegetables from the farmer's market, reading three books at a time very slowly, or supporting the robust local businesses in Rochester.

Kayla Egresi
Yoga Teacher
Yoga has continued to impact my life. First in the physical, to build strength and work through injury. Then, that impact began to grow beyond what I ever imagined, way beyond the physical. Along with maintaining my personal practice, I utilized Yogic values and skills within my career skill-building with children and families in trauma-informed community programs. Yoga is a powerful tool in teaching us about ourselves, how to be mindful, to regulate, but also how to create positive impact beyond our mats and in our relationships and our communities. I am passionate about the adaptability of Yoga, each of us exploring how it fits into our lives, strengthening the relationship we have to ourselves and the communities around us. The impact of Yoga can be profound, and we can tailor that impact to exactly what we are needing based on our unique bodies and minds. It is such a privilege to guide folks in exploring what that means for them and I am grateful to be here.Check out my website: Intention Yoga LLC |Follow Along: @intentionyogallc

Betsy Woldeyohannes
MA, 200RYT, Y12SR Peer Support Guide
Hello! My name is Betsy Woldeyohannes (they/them). I am a 200 RYT (trained at Breathe Yoga with primary training in Vinyasa), a certified Yoga of 12-Step Recovery Peer Support Guide (trained with Nikki Myers), and am currently undergoing training with Judith Lasater to become a Relax and Renew® Level 1 Certified Yoga Teacher. I have been an educator for almost 10 years and hold master’s degrees in English and Classics, but I decided to leave traditional academia and my doctoral program behind in order to teach in a more holistic and socially relevant way through yoga. Despite this, my yoga teaching and practice are deeply informed by my study of ancient language, literature, and history; my practices at Frequency will therefore include the conscious integration of principles drawn from yogic philosophy and vedanta. My classes will be based in a mindful Vinyasa style, interweaving slower breaths and longer holds, yin postures, and/or sequences inspired by the Hatha yoga of Y12SR, and will conclude with a meditation practice. I will primarily use verbal uses with some demonstration.Check out my website: Yene Yoga |Follow Along: @yeneyogaroc
