Short Summary
My dream was to put my hard work and energy into the community I grew up in. I graduated from the Institute For Integrative Nutrition and became a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner and a Health & Wellness Counselor. Passion Life Wellness opened its doors on March 31, 2014, in Alba, PA. I am also certified as a meditation instructor and a stress management instructor. I became highly aware of how busy and stressed-out our community is just dealing with everyday life, let alone the catastrophic times when they hit. Our mission is to provide top notch services, classes, workshops, and opportunities to those in our community.
We have an amazing fitness instructor, Jennifer Kropf, who has been with us since day one. Jenn has been teaching for over 4 years and loves helping others to reach their full potential. She is certified in Bokwa Step & Up, Hip Hop, PiYo, and POUND.
Our Massage Therapist is the talented Sharae Dean and she joined our team on November 1st 2014. She graduated from the Finger Lakes School of Massage in December of 2013 and has been working her magic ever since. She provides massage therapy, hot stone massage, prenatal, and postpartum massage to our clientele.
Our newest member of the team is Corrin Rockwell. She teaches Yoga for Kids, Yoga for Beginners, and Yoga Flow. Cori has been practicing Yoga for over 15 years, but recently became certified to teach. You wouldn't believe how relaxed you are after one of her classes!

What We Need & What You Get
Our goal is to raise the money needed for the required updates and necessary renovations to the building that will house the future Passion Life Wellness. This includes the cost for the required architectural drawings, permits, and construction. Our "new" home will be the former Victory Church on Fenner Avenue in Troy, PA. This stained glass beauty was built in 1854 and needs to be brought into the present and up-to-code, for use. It will also enable us to bring it up to a level of awesomeness for fitness and yoga, plus the pampering and spa like feel for our massage clients. We must have all renovations complete by Moving Day, Summer 2015.
We have added "Perks" to give you something in return for blessing us with your help! We have included all of our services throughout the different perk packages, So you get to choose what you get in return for donating to the Shift of Passion Life Wellness.
Why are we asking for help?
We felt that there may be people out there that also want to make a difference in our community and donate to a wonderful project, Plus, we would like to do more projects in the community that are FREE and otherwise impossible to accomplish with debt and financing looming over us each month.
The Impact
Our campaign can make a huge difference in the community and here are a few reasons why: The church is designed to allow more people to use our facility. We currently cannot hold a class size larger than 15 people comfortably and at times this has deterred people from continuing to visit us. The church will provide us with 5x's the class space, which means several more people can join us without feeling crowded! We will be in a convenient location in town, where our clientele will even have the option of walking to class. This location will enable us to help out in the community by offering workshops for local business owners who will learn ways to relax and alleviate stress. Also, the new location is very close to the high school and middle school, allowing us to have after school programs where kids can conveniently attend. This shift will also allow each of us to reach out to more of the elderly in our community, that can utilize our valuable expertise to stay healthy, active, and spry.
We have been in business for over a year and our clientele can verify the hard work we put into each class, workshop, massage, and counseling session. We would do it for free (all the time) if we could, because that is how much we love contributing to the health and wellness of others.
Risks & Challenges
You may be wondering what happens if we don't meet our goal....
Well, we are confident that the funds will be provided so that we can continue to bless our community. We have so much to offer and we will not give up on those that depend on us.
But, if we do not meet our goal, the funds raised will go toward the project and we may have to shut down all business/classes until the required renovations are completed. We would be devastated for this to happen, so please spread the word about what we are trying to accomplish!
