Thank you to Can Do Cancer for allowing me to be part of this event and to teach to their patient partners.

Thank you to our AMAZING Patient Partners! We had the opportunity to bring many of them together to thank them for all they do to mentor and encourage the patients who enroll in Can Do Cancer.

These gals have hearts of gold and are truly top notch when it comes to sharing their experience and helping others who are going through very difficult diagnoses. Can Do Cancer would NOT be the program it is without each and every one of these wonderful women! We missed those who were unable to attend, but we appreciate and thank them as well!

Thank you to Melissa Walker from Soulful Healing Yoga for sharing her expertise with our group about guided meditation and leading us through chair yoga exercises.

Thank you to Libby from Platters With Purpose for catering this event with her beautiful charcuterie board.

Together we CAN DO CANCER!

Thank you to Hannah The Clear Co. for providing these adorable heart-shaped clear quartz crystals for the attendees of Wintering!

Learn more about Hannah and support her business!

My name is Hannah & I am the owner of The Clear Co. Around three years ago, I noticed more people sharing pictures of their crystals on social media and my interest peaked. Before long, I was deep into crystal TikTok, reading lots of books & starting my own collection. This new passion combined with feeling unhappy at my job led to making some major life changes & creating The Clear Co. Crystals can be such a powerful tool to help us raise our vibration + acknowledge our power as individuals + become crystal clear on our purpose here. Creating a space that empowers beginners & life-long collectors to utilize the powerful energies of crystals is my mission.

You can find a variety of crystals & more information at shoptheclearco.com or find us at pop ups and events throughout Iowa. If you have questions or are looking for suggestions, please email hannah@shoptheclearco.com

Here's a little bit about essential oils and Michelle ...
Essential oils have become increasingly popular. They're powerful plant extracts that can be used to promote well-being and provide a natural way to make everyday life easier. Essential oils are dynamic - shifting and changing intelligently as they interact with the body's biochemistry. Each and every essential oil provides targeted support for the body both physically and emotionally. Michelle encourages learning more through educational classes she teaches weekly. Michelle is a recognized thought leader and educator providing strategic health and wellness plans to her clients helping them protect their personal well-being and their families. Her leadership is solution-driven, combining all aspects of Mind and Body awareness to focus on incorporating essential oils, fitness, and nutrition to eliminate the use of toxic products and behaviors. Michelle is a wife and mother of 4 young children and certified Fitness Instructor for Barre, Bootcamp, Yoga, and Cycling so understanding work-life balance is the foundation to a successful discipline. You can connect with her on Instagram: or email michelleasmus3@gmail.com

Thank you to Michelle and our other sponsors - Currently Co., The Clear Co. and Batch Balanced, as well as local yoga instructor Jenni Benson, who sewed the eye pillows for the evening.

Say "hello" to Katie! Katie will be filling in for me (Melissa) this week and next while I take some time away with my family. Katie is a graduate of Power Life Yoga Barre Fitness and teaches through Happy Heart Yoga Wellness You can find her classes at Power Life or at Yoga & Co.

Here's a little bit about Katie:

Hello everyone! I’m Katie. Yoga came into my life three years ago when I received a coupon for a local studio. I was 7 months postpartum with my second daughter and struggling with my mental and physical health. The mental transformation I felt after that first class and each class after, kept me coming back despite the physical poses challenging the heck out of me. I’m still so incredibly proud of that decision I made to step out of my comfort zone and into the yoga studio that day! Here I am, three years later, loving this practice more than I could have ever imagined!

I now get to share my love of yoga with others. Giving you a safe, non judgement place to be yourself. To give this beautiful practice of being, slowing down, moving, breathing, connecting and having a little fun, a chance. I will always encourage you to listen, to love and embrace your strong body. I hope for you to feel empowered to listen to your body throughout class with me❤️

I teach Kids Yoga as well and it fills my heart immensely. I love kids and being able to introduce them to this beautiful practice in such a fun, playful way is incredibly rewarding!

Outside the studio you will find me spending time with my husband Zach and two beautiful daughters Layla (7) and Tony Grace (3). I have l found a love for nature again since having little kids and if the weather is nice you will find us outside! We love to go to all the local lakes, parks and trails!
