Resilience and Renewal

Wooden hands holding a globe wrapped in vines against a neutral background.

Mother Earth embodies the planet's resilience and ability to heal and renew itself.

She is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, nature has a remarkable capacity to bounce back and thrive. 

She represents a place of belonging and connection for all living beings and she provides a sense of stability and continuity, much like a home does for a family. 

The concept of Mother Earth also serves as a powerful call to action, urging humans to respect and protect one another through the interconnectedness of all living things and the importance of safeguarding our planet for future generations. 

Nurturing women, like Mother Earth, similarly support the growth and development of individuals and the community as a whole, fostering a cycle of renewal and continuous improvement.

Like Mother Earth who connects all living things to the natural world, A nurturing woman connects her community by fostering a sense of belonging, respect, unconditional love, mutual care and understanding.

Michele Heuff

Certified Yoga Instructor, Reiki Master/Teacher, Intuitive Guide & Light Worker

Wellness Among the Vines is thrilled to welcome Michele to our community!

Michele’s exploration of human consciousness and well-being began early in life. With a deeply holistic approach, she believes that to live the life we truly desire, we must nourish and balance our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves. After many years of practicing yoga, Michele completed her Yoga Teacher Training in both Hatha and Kundalini yoga in 2018. She is also a certified Reiki Master/Teacher in Usui and Kundalini Reiki, as well as in Quantum Healing.

Moving slowly and gracefully through each pose, we will build strength, increase flexibility, and give special attention to our joints. With breath as our trusted partner throughout the practice, we will cultivate a deeper connection between mind, body, and spirit — ending with a beautiful, restorative Savasana.

bianca morello

A Whole Life Wellness Coach & Integrative Somatic Mind Body Connection Practitioner for Nervous System Regulation.

Bianca, Founder of The House of 24K Holistics and Wellness Among the Vines, is a certified practitioner in multiple complementary healing modalities, allowing her to intuitively curate deeply personalized sessions for each client.

Somatic Mind Body Connection focuses on the body and how it holds and releases emotions and trauma. Instead of revisiting the story of the trauma, somatic therapy works directly with the physical sensations, emotions, and stored energy in the body, helping to release tension, restore regulation to the nervous system, release symptoms of chronic pain, stress and anxiety, and foster a deeper sense of safety and connection from within. This somatic journey ultimately promotes a more joyous, vibrant lifestyle, empowering clients to reconnect deeply with themselves and embody true well-being.

In her one-on-one work, Bianca artfully blends integral sound healing with tuning forks and singing bowls, coaching, somatic therapy and meditation, mindfulness practices, energy healing, and non-surgical deep tissue bodywork — including her signature Heart Release technique. Her holistic approach supports emotional, physical, nutritional, and energetic healing at a profound level.

Bianca is also currently pursuing her Diploma in Naturopathy, further expanding her ability to guide others toward vibrant health and well-being.

Bianca will be leading a “Soul Gazing and Guided Somatic Meditation” workshop where you will step into a deeply healing space of presence and connection. Through the practice of soul gazing — holding eye contact with another — combined with guided meditation, we quiet the mind and awaken the heart. This experience invites you to move beyond words, beyond judgment, and into pure being, fostering a profound sense of compassion, self-awareness, unconditional love, and unity. Soul gazing and somatic meditation can help participants to regulate their nervous systems, foster intimacy, build trust, and experience a deeper sense of connection to themselves and others, even without speaking.

Come prepared to see and be seen — not just with the eyes, but with the soul.
