hi friend! i’m mkm, a cleveland-native taurean, born on earth day. i’ve founded and co-founded my fair share of projects over the years: terra verde handmade, the burning river candle co, balance & brews/barrels, the beer yogis national tour, align yoga teacher training, and society verde travel.

i do get a little bit exhausted just thinking about it all.

and after all this exploration, i feel i’ve found my place in the world with the wellspring.

my intent is for the wellspring to be a grounding resource for us recovering over-achievers: a space to genuinely slow down, strengthen and reconcile our relationship to the earth, while remembering and reconnecting with our own roots.

after spending almost twenty years making soap and teaching yoga on the east side of cleveland, living and working in old brooklyn brings me back to the zipcode my dad’s family emigrated to generations ago, with the wellspring studio just a long stone’s throw from the home where i spent my early childhood years.

i’m rooted in right purpose here. i’ve added my mark to a raw, textured space on pearl — it’s perfect in a very cleveland-esque way — as a space ready to gather and connect with you over natural product blending, soap making, and on and off the mat yoga.

welcome. you belong here.

hi, i’m ivana, also a cleveland-native and fellow earth sign. i’m very much a virgo, born on the last day of summer or the autumnal equinox, just depending on the year and the calendar!

by trade, i am a registered and licensed dietitian and certified yoga teacher, with a passion for nutrition and wellness. i received my bachelor of science from ashland university, where part of my heart will always belong, and my master of science in nutrition from case western reserve university. my dietetic internship was completed at the northeast ohio veteran’s affairs healthcare system.  last but not least, i completed my 200-hr yoga teacher training through align (with melissa).

in 2016, i started my llc, core concepts nutrition, with my ultimate goal being to provide nutrition education to the community. 

in line with that goal, i’m thrilled to start offering nourish yoga. this is a unique blend of nutrition and yoga, exclusive to wellspring! i believe it will lend itself the wellness goals of those who attend.  

i would love to see and meet you in a class sometime, and am excited about this space at the wellspring, and all it has to offer!
