  Massage therapist/ yoga instructor
  I worked here from day one, helping to build the community and clients. As a yoga instructor, I lead classes and workshops.

I also rented a room at the studio where I did massage therapy, seeing 15-20 clients per week and helping them with body alignments, injuries, and stress reduction.
- Fields of yogis festival
  Jan 2016 - Oct 2020
  Managing director
  I founded Fields of Yogis after experiencing yoga festivals across the country and seeing a need in our own community for something similar. Over four years, I organized dozens of presenters, vendors, sponsors, and volunteers. The festival grew every year and I’m proud of the benefits it brought to the community. I’ve since become an advisor to someone planning a festival in Iowa for this coming year in the hope of continuing the impact.

  Licensed massage therapist
  Ally has been a massage therapist and yoga instructor for over ten years. After getting certified in 2010, she quickly delved into various therapeutic modalities such as cupping, ashiatsu, and orthopedic massage. Her education led her all the way to Thailand, where she trained as a Thai yoga massage therapist. Combining her love for massage therapy and yoga, she has a mix of experience that allows her to empower others to lead strong, flexible, and pain-free lives. If you have shoulder pain, neck pain, or just general stiffness, Ally’s knowledge of myofascial release will leave you feeling renewed in your range of motion and ability to move easier. Show less
