Meet your teachers

Hey, I'm Dr. Marsha

I’m a naturopathic physician of 15 years, founder of Flow Natural Health Care, creator of the Wild Pursuits Method, and a lifelong athlete. After spending years working within a dysfunctional healthcare model and decades pursuing the best way to eat, train, and supplement as an athletic woman, I built a new model – one that truly supports women and especially active women going through perimenopause and menopause. 

Perimenopause and postmenopause are a normal transition that can disrupt and derail almost every area of your life. Despite the fact that every individual with ovaries will go through menopause, there are very few effective and viable solutions being offered to women. 

The truth is, you do have control over your body in perimenopause and menopause, it just takes strategy and working with your hormones. 

I'm excited for you to join us and an incredible group of women to learn, move and explore a holistic approach to managing peri & postmenopause!

 

Hi, I'm Savonn

I'm the co-founder of Sellwood Yoga and bring over 27 years of teaching experience to my yoga related offerings. I believe in providing skillful and detailed instruction, grounded inspiration, and a non-dogmatic approach to help students connect with themselves and their practice. I am a certified “Menopause Coaching Specialist” and “Health Coach,” and I integrate these specializations into my teachings, making me an ideal guide for navigating the changes and challenges of menopause.

I recognize the importance of an integrated approach to health and well-being. My classes, workshops, programs and retreats offer a transformative experience that combines group practice with the power of personal inquiry and expression. You can find out more about my approach at savonn.com and sellwoodyoga.com 

Beyond my extensive yoga teaching, I offer consulting services to health and wellness professionals and small businesses, reflecting my commitment to holistic well-being and community empowerment. My passion for travel and outdoor activities further enriches my approach, bringing fresh inspiration and perspective to my practice and teachings.
