Northwoods Velvaere Studio

Northwoods Velvaere Studio Hello! I’m Bobbi Jo, a somatic/mental health therapist, yoga teacher, and holistic practitioner.

I’m a somatic/mental health therapist/yoga teacher using compassionate, body-centered practices to help women who’ve always felt different reconnect with their bodies, heal from within, and create a life that feels aligned. I began my clinical journey in my late thirties, first working with children and later expanding my focus to support women in reconnecting with themselves and rebuilding confidence from within. My own experiences led me to this work, and I’m passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals and those healing from trauma. I believe growth happens through compassion, patience, and acceptance, not pressure or perfection. In my practice, I focus on ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, inner child healing, shadow work, and somatic therapy. My approach blends Somatic, CBT, mindfulness, inner child work, and body-centered trauma healing to help each person move toward self-love, self-trust, and a more peaceful, aligned life. I provide outpatient mental health therapy primarily for women, as well as adolescents ages 13–18, creating a safe and empowering space where healing can unfold naturally. 🌿

Have a Happy Samhain/Halloween! 🎃🍂🧡

Halloween often brings to mind costumes, candy, and pumpkins, but its roots go much deeper.

📖 A bit of history:

Halloween traces back over 2,000 years to the Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”), celebrated on October 31st.

Samhain marked the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, a time when the veil between the living and spirit world was believed to be thinnest.

People lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off spirits. Later, with the spread of Christianity, Samhain blended into All Hallows’ Eve, the night before All Saints’ Day.

Over time, it evolved into the modern Halloween we know today, but its themes of transition, honoring the dead, and preparing for the darker season remain.

✨ Deeper meaning:
Halloween is more than tricks and treats, it’s a reminder of the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. It invites us to honor our ancestors, release what no longer serves us, and welcome the quiet, reflective energy of the coming winter.

🌿 A somatic reflection for Halloween:

Light a candle and sit quietly for a few minutes.

Place your hand over your heart.

As you breathe, reflect on one thing you’re ready to let go of as the season shifts.

Offer gratitude for what has been, and invite peace for what is to come.

💛 Halloween is not only a night of costumes and play, it’s also a threshold, a moment to honor the past and step with intention into the new season.
