Originally from South Dakota, Aria moved to Vermont in 2019 to be a Farm to Table Sous Chef. She has transitioned (happily) from the restaurant “service” industry- to being of service for her community in a much deeper way. After learning and applying wellbeing practices to her own life for a decade- Aria completed the 800 hr | Massage Therapy Intensive Education Program at Arizona School for Integrative Studies in Tucson.

By combining her skills as a massage therapist, spiritual teacher, wellness guide, and group facilitator Aria has found a way to make a positive impact in the world of holistic health and wellness.

Across all her offerings, Aria is committed to holding a space where clients feel safe, seen, and supported. Her work is rooted in the belief that each person already carries the wisdom and capacity for peace — and that healing unfolds naturally when we pause, listen, and reconnect.

I am a teacher, healer, and artist here to create the foundation for a new way of believing, seeing, and being in the world that aligns with the truth of love and abundance. I do this by designing spaces, building communities, and integrating healing forgiveness with presence. I navigate my life with a comfortable elegance that emits grace, peace, and the care of an unconditionally loving parent. 

“‘Life Undefined’ is a philosophy I pondered up years ago, born out of awareness, infinite potential, and navigating change. “Undefined” really represents that true essence in ourselves and others which can’t be put into words. The love, light, life force energy or chi, tao, however you say it… it can not be defined by a body, by a personality, by a job or a family. No matter how hard we try- our spirit, our creative power, our ability to extend love, who we truly are- can’t be put into words. We are constantly evolving, shifting and aligning our perspectives and perceptions, learning and applying what we learn. If we do try to define ourselves, it never seems to stick...

By incorporating moments of settling into that “undefinable” nature within ourselves, we allow space for wonder, presence, and miracles to come in to our lives. These moments lack expectation and are overflowing with openness. Phrases like, “I’m so curious,” “Let’s see what happens,” and “I wonder…” are perfect prompts.

When we allow this openness and curiosity into our lives, we are making SPACE. This spaciousness is what we are then able to grow into. 

It occurred to me that I could apply these same principles to my private practice.

Ensuring that I was holding space for others to be their undefinable selves. To connect with their true essence, and to ensure financial accessibility so no one is left behind.

In many ways, it’s important that the business itself remains undefined, we are able to adapt and fluctuate with the needs of our community, our team, and our world.

Thank you for coming on this adventure with us!”
