Meditation in Motion Massage and Healing Arts

Gerry Stowers is an intuitive practitioner of the healing arts and owns her practice, Meditation in Motion, in Downtown Staunton.  During her two decades of extensive study and travel, she has adventured across the globe, learning ancient healing practices. Gerry has studied and practiced a myriad of energetic modalities; she is a massage therapist, a Reiki Master, a yoga instructor, and a practitioner of Chinese Medicine. She recently graduated with a degree in Acupuncture from Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine. Gerry is also skilled in acupressure and reflexology.

The goal behind Gerry’s work is for everyone to know and connect with their own divinity. She seeks to help individuals discover and shine their own light.

Throughout her explorations and education, Gerry has come to understand the healing power of energy work. Everything is energy- as such, we have the ability to work with the elemental forces to transmute and heal both physical and emotional suffering. Gerry’s deep interest in medicine is lifelong. She experienced a cosmic transformation during a 2004 pilgrimage to Costa Rica, where a connection with Nature guided her on a journey of spiritual transformation. After this profound experience, Gerry began her study of Reiki. The beautiful simplicity of Reiki resonates with Gerry; she is now honored to share the knowledge of this spiritual energy with her community.

During her practice of Reiki, Gerry has worked in hospital with mothers who have just given birth, helping to guide new spirits through the Gates of Light. She has also worked with the hospice community for the last decade at Augusta Health, lovingly holding space & guiding individuals who are preparing to transition. As a gatekeeper, Gerry endeavors to help people to remember their divinity. She appreciates Reiki’s powerful ability to facilitate energetic exchanges on the non-verbal level, where deep transformative healing can occur. Gerry Stower’s mission is to help others to remember that wherever they are, they are safe. When we learn to shine our own light, the path to healing is always possible.

Hand Over Heals: Body Art

Eleanor felt the call toward healing touch early in life. She is trained in reflexology and reiki in addition to body art. Her first henna tattoo inspired her immensely and she began dreaming about doing henna herself, determined to practice and hone her skills. What began as an artistic hobby gradually grew into a profession doing something she loves, as she shared henna with more and more people. A great admirer of the traditional Indian style, the intricate lacy elegance of it, she is also influenced by the beauty she sees in nature and the world around her as well as the countless amazing artists online.
 
Certified in natural henna, her blend is made with lemon juice, jagua, essential oils and sugar for a deep brown stain that lasts about 2 weeks. Sparkle hair is the tie in of shimmery silk strands to individual hairs. They last anywhere from a day to many months.
 

Glitter Bee Art

The Glitter Bee is thrilled to be returning for her 4th Red Wing and this year she’s bringing a team! The Bee will be joined by The Sparkling Dragonfly, The Twinkly Lightning Bug, and The Fancy Mantis offering henna, face painting, glitter tattoos, hair tinsel, body glitters & gems, and sweat-proof grown up festival looks.
 
We are all so excited to see new faces and to be reunited with past years’ Red Wing families.

As always, The Glitter Bee only ever uses fresh, natural, handcrafted henna paste. If you have a G6PD Deficiency diagnoses, please talk to your artist before getting henna applied.​
 

Tim Witting

Thai massage has been an interest of Tim’s since spending a year traveling around South East Asia ten years ago. That interest flowered into a passion seven years ago while doing a 200-hour training at Thai Massage Circus in Laos with five amazing teachers and forty-five students from all over the globe united by their common enthusiasm for Thai massage. Much beyond thinking of Thai massage as a set of techniques, he learned to think of Thai massage as a powerful philosophy and a method to build deeper awareness. The quality of our touch, he discovered, is directly proportional to our mindfulness; in this sense, when one offers a Thai massage, they are doing their spiritual practice. After his month-long stint at Thai Massage Circus, Tim has continued his studies by exploring several other traditions as well as craniosacral therapy and Ayurvedic oil massage. He now offers sessions out of his Charlottesville office. 

Moon Roots Herbs

Celia Tumolo

My name is Celia and I started my holistic journey when I had small children. I started to really question what I was giving them and my desire to give them the healthiest options out there. At the time I also realized that growing my own herbs would provide what I needed, especially if I couldn’t find it elsewhere. My background prior to this was in veterinary medicine. I’ve been a Vet Tech for 30 years, so I knew I could make helathier options for my animals as well. 
All of the products I make I use daily for my family and animals. I truly believe that herbal medicine is where we should start when treating the issues that come up. I believe there is a time when western medicine is needed also. However, many times we can use herbal medicine as a preventative measure and can avoid synthetic medications. Then, if necessary, we can go to more western options. 
I am a small batch one woman business. I enjoy every aspect of what I do and I love sharing with people what herbal remedies can do.
