Sheila Dyche
Sheila has been a licensed Esthetictian and Massage Therapist for almost two decades, which lead her to create a small batch herbal skincare line, Urban Sage Goods. After studying massage therapy and aesthetics, Sheila found a passion in nutrition and clean-eating. She then attended the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, where she became a certified Health and Wellness Coach. Her drive in life is to promote environmental sustainability, help end food scarcity, and encourage healing through nutrition by creating healthy relationships with our food and where it comes from. Her consciousness of contemporary life, matched with a profound recognition of radical health from the inside out, set the stage for a comforting, well-rounded guide for the body and soul.

Sheila grew up in northern California and currently resides in west Sonoma county with her husband and daughter, wrangling chickens, cooking and growing food while tending to their micro-farm.

Jessica Astley
Jessica Astley grew up in the pacific northwest and spent most of adult life between Hawaii and Northern California. Jessica has been involved in the healing arts for over 20 years, spending many of them studying metaphysics and herbalism. She has a love and passion working within the botanical and energetic realms. Jessica is the formulator and owner of La Floresta Botanicals, a small batch herbal and body care line currently based in Sonoma.
With her deep love of travel, people and cultures she truly knows how to make people feel welcome, connected and more at home in their bodies and minds, I suppose you could say it's one of her special gifts. People comment often that she has a way of making you feel safe. A sacred space holder is another gift she is honored to share in abundance for all her students.
Jessica has been a practitioner of massage therapy since 2003, she is devoted to helping others release and heal in their physical and emotional body. Her devotion to healing her own body, mind, and soul has been a profound part of her personal path and she loves assisting others with her grounding and loving presence. Her work in the healing arts realm has always been a safe place for her to explore and dive deep as a healer and empath. For many years she didn't know that her ability to feel other people or places' energy was something she could explore deeper and use as a gift and tool rather than just internalize. She has first hand experience as a healer, and knows how important physical and energetic self care is. Jessica has learned an array of practical tools and lessons on her journey and is excited to share and teach others. Her wish is for all beings to be happy and truly empowered to live their best life
