The Collective

The Collective

The Practice® Collective is a group of healers, creatives, and makers who are living the values and message of The Practice. The Practice is about living our fully expressed lives, and stepping out of our own way. These women are not only doing this for themselves, but they are here to help other women do the same.

The Collective is a group of women working side by side in collaboration and sisterhood to help women rise and bring women together in a new way. The women of The Collective have a permanent residence in our space and are steady voices of The Practice Movement…

The Collective is growing. If you are interested in renting an office on a regular basis, please let us know.

Tammie Ginocchio, Massage Therapy & Yoga

It’s been an amazing journey to get to where I am today with my Massage & Yoga Practice. Through 18 years of teaching the type of Yoga that I love to feel in my own body, and practicing during three pregnancies as well (which saved me on many occasions!!) And 12 years of Practice as a Massage Therapist, starting out in the living room of my tiny home, (until our first son needed to take over that space). Then I took it to peoples houses and eventually I found my path to The Practice for Women in Walnut Creek. 
 
I feel that now, almost 20 years since starting my Yoga Practice and beginning to receive massage, I have arrived at the beginning of a new journey. It is my intention to move beyond massage as a luxury or a splurge on vacation at a spa, or to take multiple yoga classes only to feel like your more uncomfortable and unfamiliar with your body. This is an education in self-care, not from me, but through your personal experiences on the massage table &/or the Yoga mat. A routine, a practice, ritual, whatever you’d like to call it. Ultimately, I’d like us to work together to find out what your body requires to maintain balance, how you can move to awaken your muscles and joints in a new way, and how to stay ahead of some of the chronic discomfort that comes from being human. We were made to be real, not to be perfect. Are you interested in taking this journey with me? Do you have the desire to Invest in You…?

Julee Herrmann, Reclaiming Studios

Ever since I was a little girl I have used the Expressive Arts for healing. They helped me focus, and provided an escape to a place where I felt safe, seen, and held. This world I created helped me through the most challenging events of my life––from childhood, through my teens, and the ugliest parts of my twenties. Now in my forties, Expressive Art is more important to me than ever, and I feel called to share the tools I’ve used with others.

My work over the last decade has taught me that people have a strong yearning to connect with their creativity. I’ve also learned that each person expresses their creativity in a uniquely personal way. When I share what I’ve learned with people, I help them gain insights into their own story. And in the process they rediscover the self soothing tools they have been missing since early childhood.

When I was a young adult people told me I should be a teacher. I never thought I had anything worthwhile to share. Now I know that sharing Expressive Arts with our community at The Practice is the next stop in the journey of my heart’s expression.

I’m Julee Herrmann, Founder of Canvas and Cabernet, Reclaiming Studios, and the Transformational Art Experience.

Why I left the Bay Area

This is a personal story about listening to my inner call and making a huge life change.

This piece is really intimate...

A letter home to my mother.

A reflection on 2020, living with chronic illness, and surviving the pandemic.

May we find the courage to break old patterns and put ourselves first in service of those we love and the world we live in.
