Rachel Legendre
Rachel has a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Maine at Farmington. She is also a registered 200-hour Yoga teacher and a certified Health & Wellness Coach, enthusiastically practicing since 2019 and 2020 respectively. She most enjoys designing a wide variety of specialized classes, ranging anywhere from vocal yoga (for singers) to yoga for athletic recovery. She also teaches mindfulness and meditation, and through her self-led business Wise Up Wellness, has developed a Full Circle wellness course that can be adapted for presentation of 1-15 informative and engaging classes. Rachel is also passionate about her role as a Health Promotion Coordinator at Healthy Androscoggin, as this work supports an important shift in focusing wellness programs and plans from individualized strategies to incorporate more community-centered perspectives. During her free time, Rachel enjoys seasonal time outdoors from swimming and kayaking to hiking and snowshoeing, cooking, reading, writing, photography, music, films, and vintage/antiques.
Rachel leads the Wednesday night Yoga Foundations (Hatha) class 5:30 to 6:30 pm class.
Ree Russell
Ree Russell is an experienced yoga and meditation teacher who believes in the therapeutic and transformative power of slowing down and focusing on what truly matters to oneself.
As an introvert with an extroverted personality, Ree practices both yoga and yin meditation to find balance between these dualities and the demands of a busy modern life. In addition to her 200 hour yoga teacher training, Ree holds a 50 hr Yin Meditation training and a Yin yoga teacher training.
Rea leads the Thursday night Rest & Restore (Yin) Yoga 6:30 to 7:45 pm class.
Heather Laframboise
Heather is a Reiki Master, Certified ThetaHealing® Practitioner, and Meditation Teacher with a heart-centered approach to supporting others on their journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery. Her holistic trainings, combined with her degree in Recreational Therapy from the University of Southern Maine, provide her with a unique perspective on wellness that honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Drawing from her diverse background, Heather intuitively blends various healing modalities to create personalized experiences that meet each individual where they are. In addition to offering energy work and holistic wellness experiences, Heather’s passion for learning, teaching and collaboration inspires her to create educational workshops and sacred circles—welcoming spaces where people can gather, connect, share, and explore their own paths of healing and transformation. Beyond her holistic work, Heather serves as a Memory Care Director, a role that continually reminds her of the importance of presence, compassion, and finding joy in each moment. Through this work, she is inspired by the belief that every person deserves to be seen, honored, and treated with respect, dignity, and love. Heather’s mission is to create supportive spaces where people feel empowered to connect with their inner wisdom, embrace personal growth, and celebrate the sacred journey of becoming.
Heather runs the monthly Sacred Circle and collaborates often with Melissa for other special events.
Millie Barnard
Millie Barnard is a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher with a background in movement, fitness, and wellness. Her approach to yoga centers around the belief that yoga is for every body, and that our practice should meet us where we are rather than asking us to fit into a particular pose, ability, or expectation.
Millie’s classes encourage curiosity, offering options and variations that allow students to explore movement, build strength and mobility, and develop a deeper connection with themselves. She believes yoga can be both a physical practice and an opportunity for personal and spiritual growth. Her teaching welcomes people from all walks of life and faith, creating space for each person to explore what that deeper connection means to them.
At the heart of her teaching is a desire to help people discover new ways to grow and flourish—on the mat and beyond it. She hopes students leave class feeling more connected to their bodies, more confident in their own practice, and reminded that there is a place for them in yoga exactly as they are.
Jamie Gendell, Massage Therapist
I believe body work to be an incredible tool for emotional, physical, and mental well being. My work is rooted in nervous system regulation, trauma-informed principles, and offering deep intentional techniques to help you reconnect with your body. I’m passionate about supporting clients dealing with chronic tension, headaches, and stress-related pain. Outside of work you can find me hiking, writing music and playing guitar, or practicing yoga and Tai Chi. Looking forward to working with you!
Jamie and Melissa collaborate monthly to offer you Yoga + Massage.
