Tracy Hovde - Owner, Yoga Instructor, Massage Therapist
BCTMB, LMT, E-RYT 200, RYT500, YACEP
​
I am passionate about supporting individuals on their path to wellness through massage therapy, yoga, and holistic practices.
​
My journey into healing work began when I experienced a dance-related injury while working as a professional dancer and dance instructor. Discovering the profound benefits of massage during my own recovery inspired me to shift my focus from dance to the healing arts.
​
I graduated from CenterPoint School of Massage and Bodywork in 2002, where I received training in Swedish massage, deep tissue techniques, and trigger point therapy. I have also completed additional training in Thai Massage and Lymphatic Drainage, and I hold a certification in Aromatherapy through the West Coast Institute of Aromatherapy. I am licensed to provide massage and therapeutic bodywork in the state of Wisconsin and am nationally certified through the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB).
​
In addition to massage therapy, I am a registered yoga teacher. I completed my 200-hour training through Devanadi Yoga and my 500-hour advanced teacher training through Green Lotus Yoga Center. My yoga practice and teaching are grounded in the same intention as my massage work: to support the body’s natural ability to heal and restore balance.
​
I believe that true healing comes from within. While I cannot heal you, I can offer a safe, welcoming space and skillful techniques to help you reconnect with your body, reduce stress, and support your own natural healing process.
Libby Higgins - Yoga Instructor
Hi! My name is Libby. I live just outside of Star Prairie on a hobby farm with my husband, my 4 children and grandson. I have been practicing yoga since 2001 and teaching yoga since 2010. My favorite part of teaching yoga is helping people to tap into their intuition and learn to listen to their body. I focus on alignment and good form in my practice in order to cultivate a life-long love of the practice. I look forward to being a part of your yoga journey!
