Hi, I’m Amy Musto,
a seasoned healthcare professional with a passion for holistic wellness that takes center stage in my remarkable journey spanning over three decades. My commitment to the ancient practice of yoga, combined with my extensive background in medicine and clinical research, has shaped me into who I am today. With a solid foundation as a licensed Registered Nurse MSN, RN, I have an impressive 33-year career dedicated to advancing medical science and improving countless lives. However, it's my deep connection to yoga that sets me apart. Trained by the revered Himalayan Institute as a Hatha Yoga teacher, I’ve embodied a commitment to holistic wellness and inner peace that radiates throughout my life. But my journey doesn't stop at the mat. Beyond my professional accomplishments, I hold the esteemed rank of a 1st-degree black belt in Isshinryu, showcasing my discipline, dedication, and mastery in martial arts. Additionally, I bring a spiritual and holistic touch to my work, with over two decades of experience as a Reiki Master, harnessing the power of energy healing to promote physical and emotional well-being. With this exceptional blend of clinical knowledge, yoga, martial arts, and proficiency in energy healing I stand as a beacon of inspiration for those seeking a harmonious balance between traditional medicine and holistic wellness. My multifaceted journey is a testament to my dedication to both individual well-being and the advancement of healthcare practices.

Debra has been training horses and instructing for over 25 years. Her passion for horses, understanding of herd behavior and their movement led her to apply the knowledge gained from the horses to help people. Deb was certified as a PATH riding instructor in 2005 and began to teach centered riding skills to children and adults with special needs. She began to develop a passion for those in need of social and emotional support which led her to study Sociology and Psychology in 2010 with the addition of a Biblical Counseling certification in 2014 from DEEP Institute. Applying her education along with the knowledge and understanding of the horse enabled her to help facilitate positive behavioral changes in her students. Debra has also had the opportunity to utilize her expertise as a leader and team builder in the non-profit corporate world working as the program director of a therapeutic riding facility as well as building a corporation from ground up as the President and Executive Director of Promised Land Equestrian Center. These roles allowed Deb to use her gifts within the corporations and create programs and facilitate groups for corporate team building, women, and families, as well as at-risk youth.

Andrea's background and formal education are in Exercise Physiology. For a large part of her career she worked as a licensed Athletic Trainer providing sports medicine support for middle school through professional level athletes. Assisting others with their physical health is an important gift she has always wanted to share. After years of working her body physically, she spent a semester in college working with a yoga instructor from India that introduced her to the idea that the mind and spirit, not the body alone, are critical components in our overall wellness. Andrea's love of animals has been part of her essence since childhood. Her passion for horses evolved a bit later. After suffering many personal traumas she was introduced to the healing power of horses. Their sensitivity and knowing were the balm for her emotional wounds that will be a part of her forever. Incorporating yoga, reiki and mindfulness practices in her holistic health journey, Andrea noticed how the shift in herself began to reflect not only during her time in the saddle, but any time overall that was spent with her horses. As a Yoga Instructor, Reiki Master and Meditation Teacher, Andrea is able to work with you utilizing these tools to support your purpose and presence in life along your wellness journey. Our mind, body and spirit need to be tended to as a whole in order for us to live a life that encompasses our joy and passions!
