Gretchen Burchi graduated in 2003 from the American Institute of Massage Therapy in south Florida, where she focused on Swedish massage and deep tissue massage and was introduced to a handful of other modalities. She is forever grateful to use her experience and knowledge to help each individual through any season of their lives.

Gretchen enjoys working with prenatal clients through their journey of carrying baby to encourage both mom and baby are being cared for during such a meaningful time. She also completed her Oncology Massage certification in 2019 to improve symptoms from both cancer as well as the side effects of cancer treatments.

When she’s not helping others enhance their well-being she is forever working on her own. Gretchen has a fierce love for nature so hiking, trail running, yoga and camping with her family are what makes her world go round.

Next she became a registered 200 hr Yoga and Barre instructor. She loves being able to guide people through movement and breath, and incorporates that into her massage techniques as well. In 2024, she also became a certified Thai Massage Practitioner through Simplified Yoga Method. She then completed additional advanced training in Traditional and Table Thai Massage in 2025. In 2026, Ashley received her certification for Oncology Massage Therapy.

Finally, she successfully graduated from Great Lakes School of Massage in June of 2025. Becoming a LMT has always been her main goal, but adding all these other modalities leading up to the LMT created her unique, intuitive and efficient technique style! Ashley is also a Reiki II practitioner, receiving her placements in 2026.

When she is not helping others feel better in their bodies and nervous systems, Ashley loves live music, dancing, travel, yoga, weight lifting, kayaking, hiking, skiing and spending time with her husband, step son, 2 dogs, and 2 cats. She is currently working on building a homestead where her family can have farm animals too! She has a hippie heart, a free spirit, and loves caring for others.

Jessi is a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, and Certified Sound Healer whose work is rooted in mindfulness, movement, massage, and authentic joy. Her journey began practicing yoga alongside her mom growing up — planting the seeds for a lifelong path of awareness and self-discovery.

In 2022, she became a 200-hour yoga instructor and later completed her 300-hour training in Costa Rica — an experience that was both expansive and transformative. With a continued passion for holistic healing and education, Jessi discovered a newfound calling into massage therapy.

Her goal is to help clients feel balanced, at ease, and supported in their bodies.

Jessi loves warm summer days, the beach and lakeshore year-round, travel, adventure, and meaningful connection. She believes in living authentically — laughing often, smiling big, and finding lightness even in life’s depth. It brings her genuine joy to support others in experiencing more peace, presence, and freedom — together.

Reiki

Schedule
By appointment only. Please contact us to schedule.

Catherine experienced reiki for the first time in 2018, just before she opened The Yoga Zen, and felt such a profound sense of release and return to balance energetically and emotionally that she sought out reiki therapy many times since.

She received her Reiki I & II certification in March 2020 and her Reiki Master Practitioner certification in 2022.

Reiki has been a way for Catherine to ground and grow deeper awareness while navigating the complexities of daily life; she’s passionate about sharing healing experiences with others in her reiki sessions.
