Meet Our Team
We bring different perspectives to our work, but we’re united by a shared passion for creative expression, mindful movement, and nurturing a sense of community.
Cheryl
After 25+ years in the corporate world, I started noticing my body and mind sending me clear signals: it was time for a change. I took a step back and spent the first couple of years reconnecting with myself—gardening, creating, and slowly finding myself again. Those quiet, creative moments reminded me of the joy and freedom that comes from making something with your own hands. It was during this time that my dream grew clearer: to create a space where everyone could experience that same sense of inspiration and self-expression. I believe creativity isn’t just a skill—it’s a part of who we are. Everyone has it, and everyone deserves a place to nurture it. My studio is that place: a welcoming space where people of all levels can create, explore, and feel inspired.

Yoga & Wellness FacilitatorTamu
Tamu has offered tarot readings and facilitated spiritual gatherings on Vancouver Island and across North America for over 30 years. In 2014 she discovered the benefits of yoga as part of a health and spiritual reconnection journey. At the height of the pandemic Tamu obtained her certification through the Online Yoga School - one of the first of its kind – and soon after launched Mumma Magma Yoga. Since then, Tamu has taught hundreds of classes across Southern Vancouver Island working primarily with people who are Gen X or older millennial who want to practice in a down-to-earth, inclusive, and non-judgmental environment; are dealing with mild to moderate mobility issues - or other health issues; and seek practical mindfulness and mind-body connection techniques. She is currently working to obtain her 800hr Yoga Therapy certification. Tamu offers regular hatha, gentle, chair, yin, and vinyasa classes at The Loft Studios, Kerry Park Recreation Centre, and Sylvan United Church in Mill Bay.https://mummamagmayoga.com/
