Jenny Caffrey

Yoga Instructor, Owner/Essential Yoga & Wellness

Jenny’s yoga journey began 15 years ago during a very stressful time full of turmoil and change. Finding yoga brought peace and light when it was needed most. Since then she has attended hundreds of hours of workshops all over the Midwest, practicing privately and in studio classes to refine her practice. In 2020, Jenny decided to formally further her study at Indigo Yoga’s 9 month teacher training program leading ultimately to registration with the Yoga Alliance.

Her goal at the time was not to teach, just to learn. As Jenny progressed through training, the desire to bring yoga to her friends sparked and grew. Jenny mixes in a little laughter and fun into her classes while helping her students cultivate strength and awareness. Alignment and balance, both physical and mental, are the foundation of her practice and her teaching. Jenny lives in Springboro with her delightfully spirited yogi daughter and their two blue heelers.

Natalie Montgomery

Artist, Designer, Creator, Energy Healing Practitioner, Owner/Spiral Roots Apothecary, Columbus, OH

Natalie has been acutely aware of her spiritual journey since she was 18 years old when a family member took her to see her first transdimensional channel, Karen Cook. The experience was fascinating and steered her quest of self-discovery and remembrance. Natalie has always found joy in helping others. She absolutely loves inspiring others and showing them the magical healing powers in being creative. When she was a teenager, Natalie discovered a love for painting and has been painting ever since; mainly canvas and more recently murals. In addition to painting, she also wire-wraps jewelry and create orgonite. 

Having a child with chronic health issues has motivated Natalie to find alternative ways to optimize the healing process. After discovering orgonites about 6 years ago, she started Spiral Roots Apothecary to educate and share the amazing healing benefits of orgonites with others. While obtaining her Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, Natalie became intrigued with sacred geometry, also known as the blueprint of creation. She has been able to incorporate sacred geometry into many of her orgonite pieces, further enhancing their healing properties. 

Natalie has been part of the White Dove community for more than 6 years now. Natalie also teaches wire wrapping and various other creative classes at White Dove Circle.
