Our Story

We met in 1998 while working in the finance industry. Tom had just moved from Oregon to the Northeast to accept a position at the same credit union where Craig worked. From the start, we recognized a deep spiritual connection and knew we would be lifelong companions. Our shared interests—meditation, Taoism, Tai Chi, and energy healing—laid the foundation for a journey that has spanned over two decades.

While spirituality was always a part of our lives, our professional paths led us into education, where we found fulfillment helping others grow. Along the way, we pursued creative ventures, traveled extensively, and continued exploring wellness practices. Still, something felt incomplete. We didn’t know what it was—until the pandemic shifted our perspective.

As the world slowed down, we reconnected with the spiritual practices that had brought us so much joy in the past. Deep meditation, energy work, and programs like Body and Brain helped us peel back the layers. A breakthrough came during a “Finding Trueself” workshop, where we realized our calling: to help others find balance, happiness, and a deeper connection with themselves.

This realization set us on a new path of intensive training in QiGong, yoga, meditation, breathwork, and high-vibration frequency practices. We saw how these modalities could complement each other, and we designed programs to make wellness accessible to everyone. Gratitude became a guiding principle of our work, aligning with our belief that it’s a cornerstone of spiritual growth.

We found the perfect home for this vision in Highland, NY, at 24 Main Street. Built prior to 1814, the building exudes history and positive energy. During a 2021 trip to Sedona, Tom had a vision of our studio as a place of healing for the community—a vision we’ve worked tirelessly to bring to life.

Tom personally oversaw the renovation, ensuring the space reflects our connection to nature and spirituality. Surrounded by forest, the studio is designed to be inviting and supportive, helping members reconnect with themselves, strengthen their bodies, and find peace. Today, we live above the studio as proud members of the Highland community, grateful to share this journey with all who walk through our doors.
