I write about yoga, walking, and conversations to help us know where we are.

About Renée

I live in McCall and Lucile, Idaho.

I bring a unique blend of perspectives as an educator, bodywork therapist, small business owner, mindset coach, retreat facilitator, community organizer, yoga teacher, and writer.

I taught high school English for seventeen years and gradually moved into shiatsu and bodywork therapy. I launched a second small business, Luminaire, to offer mindset coaching, retreats, public speaking, and event facilitation. This has been supported by the following:

 

  • Whole Health Educator™ and Coaching certification with the National Institute of Whole Health.
  • Facilitator training with Authentic World San Francisco and Integral Center Boulder.
  • Participation in the West Central Mountains Leadership Academy.
  • Development of a retreat and event venue, Mavens’ Haven on the Salmon River at Lucile. 
  • Himalayan Yoga Tradition teacher training in the Bharati lineage. Bharati translates as one who loves the light of knowledge.
  • Creation of Community Hub McCall, CUB, a community space for co-working, meetings, events, and meditation.
  • Assisting with the creation of the West Central Mountains Creative District.
  • Development of post-pandemic Yoga classes in McCall at Enliven Studio.  

The mission of Luminaire is to help people see themselves, their world, and their possibilities more clearly, and to show up with awareness, confidence, and respect for others.
