Kristine Keegan
Reiki Training

She/Her | Certified Thai Yoga Massage Practitioner | 500  hr Certified Yoga Teacher | Certified Sound Healer | Yin Yoga & Restorative Yoga Teacher  | Reiki III Practitioner | Arcana Reiki Teacher

Kristine started practicing yoga looking to provide balance to an over active, busy life. Time on the mat allowed her to take her focus inward. Embracing as much of the teachings she could get her hands on, she knew she found her passion ~ a true seeker on a path. Eleven years later, she still is deeply driven by the many aspects of the practice and to embrace the next steps as they come.As a teacher, Kristine loves to share yoga and its teachings to all the other seekers out there. Some of many teachers that influence her are: Jacqui Bonwell, Shiva Rea, Roberto Lim, Heidi MacVane, Danielle Toolan, and Sagel Urlacher.

Kristine is a graduate of the Sacred Seeds Yoga School and is also Yin Yoga and Restorative certified. As a Reiki healer, she offers energy work that can be often found woven into her classes. Kristine’s classes are energetic, fun and informative. All levels are welcomed.

 

Circe Moss MacDonald

She/Her | Licensed Massage Therapist | Integrative Bodyworker |Interfaith Chaplain | Polarity Therapist | Owner of Ritual Lab

Circe has been studying and working in the field of Holistic Health and Spirituality for 25 years after graduating from the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in 1998.

Her careful, practiced skill at releasing tension brought on by daily stressors, repetitive motion, holding patterns, pain, and trauma gradually unwinds accumulated layers of stuck, stagnant energy. She incorporates breathwork and vibrational medicine that can refresh and replenish tired muscles.  Chronic issues can be treated with her methodical use of neuromuscular therapy, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release; and soothed with hot stones, aromatherapy, or Reflexology.

Circe’s friendly and calm presence is focused on restoring balance and well-being. Her work as a Chaplain and Priestess has led her to practice Bereavement Bodywork: processing the physical and emotional impacts that grief has on the body, with gentleness and compassion. Etheric clearing and grounding, tending the soul, and elemental practices can be incorporated into a more magical session, upon request.

 

Natasha McCanne

She/Her | Licensed Massage Therapist | Reiki II

Natasha recently  moved to Maine in 2021 to farm after a few years of hiking and adventuring. She started her own personal healing journey in 2016, and it eventually led her to pursue her education in massage therapy. She graduated from Downtown Yoga + Healing Arts in Augusta, Maine in October 2023 and also trained with Arcana’s own Kristine Keegan in Reiki. She hopes to continue her education to expand her bodywork offerings.

Through her connection to nature and herself, she’s found that the conscious mind can only process and release so much; the rest of the energy is stored in the body. She believes that having a safe and supportive space to move through and release feelings in the body can provide profound healing both physically and spiritually. Natasha intends to provide this sort of space for others.  Her massage sessions include techniques from Swedish, deep tissue and trigger point therapy, Thai stretching, and myofascial release. Through these techniques she hopes to provide relaxation, respite and leave you feeling more connected to yourself.

 

Julia Parise

She/Her | Licensed Massage Therapist|  Reiki II

Julia has a BA in Psychology from Saint Michael’s College. Moving from therapy for the mind to the body, she graduated from the 750 hr training program of The Wellness Massage Center & Institute in Shelburne, VT earlier in 2023. Her hope is to impart the impact regular bodywork can have on your physical and mental wellbeing. Her signature massage is a relaxing Swedish that incorporates some targeted deep tissue work and Shiatsu “tsubos” for added balancing.
Julia recently moved to Maine from the Burlington, Vermont area with her husband, two kids & one ginger cat. Her loves include musicals, the moon, tea, collecting seashells, and sushi.
