Welcome to Northwoods Velvaere Studio
Somatic Therapy and Holistic Wellness for Women in Minnesota
Northwoods Velvære Studio provides private-pay somatic therapy for women throughout Minnesota via telehealth.
Seasonal nature-based sessions are available in New York Mills from mid-April through mid-October.
If you have spent years caring for everyone else, pushing through stress, or feeling disconnected from yourself, you are not alone.
Somatic therapy helps you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and create lasting change from the inside out.
Together, we explore the connection between mind, body, emotions, and nervous system patterns so you can move beyond simply getting through the day and begin feeling more grounded, present, and at home in your life.
This is not about becoming someone new.
It is about remembering who you are beneath the stress, expectations, and survival strategies that no longer serve you.
You are allowed to slow down.
You are allowed to take up space.
You are allowed to begin again.

✓ Recover from chronic stress and burnout

Why Private Pay?
Many clients choose private-pay therapy because they want greater privacy, flexibility, and the freedom to focus on personal growth rather than insurance requirements. This allows our work together to be guided by your goals, values, and unique experience rather than a diagnosis or treatment limitations.
What I Offer
Somatic Mental Health Therapy
Somatic Therapy that honors the wisdom of both mind and body.
Rather than focusing only on thoughts, somatic therapy helps you understand how stress, emotions, and life experiences are carried within the nervous system and body.
Together, we create space for healing, self-discovery, and meaningful change while building greater resilience, self-trust, and connection to yourself.
Yoga & Embodied Movement
Gentle, body-aware movement that supports nervous system regulation, mobility, mindfulness, and self-connection.
Classes are welcoming, accessible, and guided with curiosity rather than perfection.
No experience is necessary. You are invited to move in a way that feels supportive for your body.
Workshops
Seasonal gatherings designed to support reflection, restoration, learning, and connection.
Topics may include nervous system health, burnout recovery, mindfulness, self-compassion, seasonal living, and embodied well-being.
Come as you are and explore practices that support a more grounded and connected life.
