Our Team
Cheyenne Hawks
Founder, Owner of Heart of Wellness
Retreat Director, Spiritual Wellness Coach
My inner journey began in 2012, when I started looking for deeper meaning in my life. I have worked with spiritual mentors, and coaches from special pockets of the world including Latvia, and India. My experiences with meditation, prayer, journaling, and patience have shown me a path of living in the now, and enjoying what this life has to offer. I am honored to be holding space for others, to help shine a light for their own path, and be a safe space to express all thoughts and feelings.
My passion is encouraging people to connect to their own inner being and purpose. By leaning inward, we are able to become clear on what we have to offer in our life experience. I specialize in customized meal plans to get you started on eating the right foods in the right proportions, for your unique body and situation. My clients have had great success meeting their goals with my unique meal plans and emotional support process.
My education is in strategic communication which supports me in being able to connect with you, on what mode will be most productive for your personal growth. My health training is focused in sports nutrition and the benefits of meditation. I have been a certified Yoga teacher since 2012 and believe that yoga benefits every body. I look forward to meeting you on your path to wellness.

Ashley now has over 15 years of experience in teaching yoga and many different styles of group exercise.
At 24 years old, Ashley wanted to expand her reach and partnered with a health + fitness company to encourage and support others on their health journeys throughout the country + internationally.

Ashley combines simple fitness plans, superfood nutrition, and a supportive community to keep her clients engaged and uses a method of teaching/promoting sustainability in wellness over perfection.

Michelle Rousseau
Yoga Teacher, Yoga Teacher Trainer, Retreat Facilitator
Michelle’s healing journey started in 2013 when she met her first yoga and meditation teacher. This journey led her to India, graduate school, and eventually Peru where she began to study and develop a deep connection with ancestral medicine and shamanic herbalism.
Michelle has a gift for helping people learn to be more present and embodied in a joyful and lighthearted way. She has a love for understanding the body and the healing power of movement. She has studied yoga with teachers in India and the US and holds an E-RYT 500 Certification with Yoga Alliance. She has been teaching yoga in Santa Barbara since 2014. In addition, she holds a masters degree in somatic depth psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. Michelle is a certified personal trainer from the American Council on Exercise, and is an on ongoing herbal apprenticeship with Marysia Miernowska and mother nature herself.
She is passionate about holistic wellness and believes that to be healthy one must tend to all levels of the body - subtle to the gross, mind, body, and spirit. The primary way that we can come back to wholeness and true health is by remembering our belonging to nature and returning to a life that follows the pace of Pachamama, earth mother. It is through this remembering that we can work with nature, and with healing plants to become our own best healers.
We can remember that nature is our own best healer. In her opinion, this is why the Sacred Valley of Peru is so magical. It is a place where one can experience the power of deep connection with nature, connection to the divine feminine, and remember how to live in reciprocity and balance.
