Alyssa Springs

While many recognize Alyssa Springs as an influential business owner, she is, at heart, an artist and visionary dedicated to transformative healing and empowerment. Her educational foundation, degrees in Business Administration then later International Politics from Penn State, fueled her innate curiosity and commitment to service. 

After higher education, Alyssa’s career shift from federal law enforcement to holistic wellness and entrepreneurship may seem like a jump, but it’s rooted in authenticity. As an empath and highly sensitive person (HSP), she’s tapped into the innate strengths of her highly attuned nervous system to design experiences aligned with the intricate needs of the human psyche and body. This led to her founding Gulf Coast Bellydance in Mississippi, a vibrant hub for cultural dance, community, and artistic camaraderie. 

A relocation to Bellingham, WA, was the catalyst for Alyssa’s expanded vision. Here, she founded Flow Motion in 2011, an emblem of holistic well-being. What began as a dance, fitness and wellness center matured into a renowned healing spa, attracting visitors from across the state and internationally with its Himalayan salt cave, amethyst crystal cave retreat, and infrared salt sauna. Read more about Alyssa and the inspirational story behind the founding of Flow Motion.

Adrian

Adrian has been an integral part of Flow Motion since 2017, co-piloting the vision with his partner, Alyssa. If you’ve marveled at the intricacies of the spa’s salt cave, amethyst cave, or the hand-built salt sauna, you’ve witnessed Adrian’s craftsmanship in action. Alyssa’s visions are transformed through Adrian’s hands to become reality. Traveling the country on a “salt cave circuit,” he and Alyssa delved deep into the experience of halotherapy. Even when faced with the guarded techniques of salt cave construction, Adrian’s innovative spirit led him to create his own. Attending the first Salt Therapy Conference in Florida in 2018 only furthered his belief in its therapeutic value – a remedy he swears by, having battled breathing difficulties and allergies since birth. Read more about Adrian’s story – a journey from sea to spa.

Michele

Michele has been part of the Flow Motion family in various capacities since 2015 and mainly brings her nurturing presence and multi-modality expertise to the massage therapy team. Originally drawn to reflexology in the 1970s, Michele later became a National Board-Certified Reflexologist specializing in Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage (RLD). Her desire to enhance the relaxation and healing potential of her sessions led her to pursue licensure in massage therapy, where she now focuses on Swedish-based techniques to help ease stress, release tension, and invite calm back into the body.

In addition to massage and her expertise with essential oils, Michele is also trained in Vibrational Sound Therapy as a standalone service. Using therapeutic metal singing bowls placed directly on the body, this modality delivers a deeply grounding experience—often described as a gentle “massage of the cells.” Whether through massage or sound, Michele creates a serene and supportive space tailored to your unique needs, helping you relax, reset, and reconnect.

Michele sees clients just a few times each month and does not appear on our online scheduler. To book a session with her, please call the spa directly to request an appointment.

Elena

Elena is an enthusiastic, energetic person who is passionate about life and has been with us here at Flow Motion since 2017. Elena had practiced yoga for many years before finishing 400 hours of Anusara teacher training with Alexis Britton. Anusara yoga is a modern-day Hatha yoga meaning “flowing with grace” and “following your heart.” By always looking for the inner goodness in everyone, you also feel focused on bliss and joy in your yoga practice and your daily life. 

Elena’s yoga classes combine a focus on alignment with playful and creative sequencing of postures, leading participants to find a relaxing and energizing union between breath and body. She encourages students to link breath with movement, and to explore the benefits of yoga at their own pace. Elena believes that yoga, like life, should be approached with love, care, and humor. After taking class with Elena, anyone should feel good about themselves and about life.

A big part of her life, Elena also taught Jazzercise for close to two decades which helped her cope with life’s challenges. She loves music, and to dance and interact with wonderful people. 

You’ll also see Elena at Flow Motion working in the spa, caring for the hundreds of plants around here, leading sound baths, and as a practitioner in energy work, specifically Vibrational Sound Therapy. She is our main sound specialist with the Soundwave Journey. She loves her work, received by many with rave, positive reviews.

Elena adores life, her beautiful kids, and loves to laugh with friends and family.

Elijah

With over a decade of professional experience, Elijah brings an exceptional depth of knowledge and an intuitive, holistic approach to massage therapy at Flow Motion. Having worked extensively alongside Doctors of Chiropractic, he specializes in myofascial release, acupressure, and therapeutic bodywork designed to ease chronic tension, improve mobility, and support injury recovery. His treatments are thoughtfully tailored to each individual, blending skilled, focused techniques with a deeply relaxing experience.

In addition to being a Licensed Massage Therapist, Elijah earned the designation of Natural Therapeutic Specialist from the New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics. His extensive training encompasses Swedish massage, Polarity Therapy, myofascial release, meridian-based acupressure, craniosacral therapy, and energy balancing. This diverse foundation allows him to recognize how tension and restrictions in one area of the body may contribute to discomfort or limited mobility elsewhere. With the ability to work deeply into muscular tension while also incorporating subtle energy work, Elijah brings a distinctive balance of therapeutic massage and chakra balancing to his practice.

A longtime student of meditation, Elijah approaches bodywork with presence, patience, and an attentive awareness of each client’s needs. He particularly enjoys extended sessions, where additional time allows for more thorough, unhurried work with multiple areas of tension while encouraging the body to settle into a deeper state of relaxation.

Outside the treatment room, Elijah’s appreciation for movement and creative expression extends into contact improvisation dance, music, and comedy. These interests complement his curiosity about the human body, connection, and the many ways we experience movement and well-being.

Jess

Jess’s yoga journey began in 2009, when a weightlifting injury inspired her to explore yoga as a path toward healing and recovery. What began as a physical practice soon evolved into a deeper appreciation for the connection between movement, breath, and mindfulness.
