From Motion Arts Wellness to The Gentle Witch’s Nook: A New Chapter Begins
Change often comes gently—like a whisper on the wind, or the scent of herbs in the air. And sometimes, it arrives with clarity, like a full moon rising, showing you what’s been there all along.
This space began as Motion Arts Wellness, rooted in my journey as a professional ballet dancer, a woman living with chronic illness, and a seeker of balance through movement, sound, and physical healing.
Over time, Motion Arts became more than a studio. It became a home for mindful movement through Gyrotonic, a sanctuary for sound healing, and a center for holistic wellness where I could help others feel more connected to their bodies and breath.
But something deeper began to stir.
As I navigated motherhood—especially parenting children with high sensitivity and anxiety—I found myself turning more and more to the natural world. Herbs, rituals, and sensory grounding became not just tools for healing, but a way of life.
🌙 The Path to the Nook
When I began studying herbalism, I was struck by how the story always began the same way: with the witches.
Not the pointy-hat caricatures—but the women. The caretakers. The healers. The ones who passed down their wisdom from generation to generation, who understood the power of plants, breath, touch, and rhythm. Women who were often misunderstood, feared, or even persecuted—yet who held the kind of knowledge our world so desperately needs today.
Something in that story felt so familiar.
As I started making remedies for my family, writing magical stories for kids, and creating rituals to support sensitive souls (including my own), it became clear that this path was no longer just an extension of Motion Arts.
It was a new journey entirely—one that needed a new name.
🌿 Welcome to The Gentle Witch’s Nook
This is a space where everything I’ve learned, created, and loved now comes together:
-
The wisdom of movement and tuning into the body
-
The calming resonance of sound healing
-
The nurturing power of plants and ritual
-
The everyday magic of parenting with presence and softness
-
And the deep calling to share knowledge across generations
The Gentle Witch’s Nook is here to offer gentle tools for grounding, healing, and connection—for children, parents, and sensitive souls of all ages. It’s a place for stories, remedies, rituals, and remembering what we’ve always known deep down: that healing can be soft, slow, and sacred.
✨ What’s Next
You’ll still find all the heart of what I offered through Motion Arts—movement, sound, and holistic care—but now it’s wrapped in moonlight, roots, and the whisper of something deeper.
I’ll be sharing:
-
Herbal remedies and sensory tools from The Gentle Witch Apothecary
-
Creative ideas and stories from my Plant Guardian world
-
Supportive practices for navigating anxiety and overwhelm
-
Simple rituals for reconnecting with your body, your breath, and the natural world
-
And videos through my new YouTube channel, where you can join me in the Nook
Thank you for being here. Whether you’ve followed this journey from the studio or you’ve just arrived through the garden gate—I’m so glad you’re here.
Let’s keep growing, learning, and healing—together.
With love and wild herbs,
Veronique
