What they're saying…
The atmosphere at Ubuntu is so welcoming, calming and warm. I leave feeling mentally, spiritually and physically relaxed and renewed. The staff bring so much peace and joy to their classes and services!

Melissa Pierce is an incredible yoga instructor. She is very knowledgeable about all the yoga moves and talks through them during the class session. It is obvious she has been teaching yoga for a quite a while. Melissa is very conscientious of everyone’s strengths and weaknesses and gives alternatives for each move for the different levels of flexibility in class attendees. She uses breathing techniques as part of the yoga movements which are calming and relaxing. I started yoga almost a year ago and before I thought I would never do yoga as my body is very inflexible and it was something I could not do. I feel differently now, and Melissa is very patient while I work through my lack of flexibility. The yoga space is brick walls with wood floors; there is a diffuser that scents the air with a light, non-overpowering aroma, and a small bubbling waterfall. Melissa has good playlists to accompany the yoga sessions and overall, the atmosphere is wonderful and soothing. I leave my weekly session feeling like I had a workout, yet I am relaxed for the day. Now, I try to never to miss my weekly yoga session with Melissa.

Ubuntu Wellness is a GIFT to the community!
I cannot say enough good things about the staff, the space and the overall feeling when you enter.
I have used many of the services, including Restorative Yoga, Reiki, Raindrop Therapy, Massage and a Classes. I have also used the counseling services for years while dealing with an elderly, parent with Dementia/Alzheimer’s who lived with me for over 20 years and through her decline and passing. This service kept me whole and gave me the tools to process my situation, continue to care give and live fully while under extreme stress and while dealing with depression. The entire staff is filled with love and genuine care and concern for everyone who walks through the door. It is definitely my happy place! I know they are there when I need them and I am so grateful we have this incredible resource right here in the heart of Geauga. They are a BLESSING!!!!!!
