Sarah KH Richards, LMSW, RYT 200

Founder, Ananda Wellness LLC

Hi! I'm Sarah (she, her, they). I hold a BA in Social Policy from Michigan State University and an MSW from the University of Michigan School of Social Work. 

​Within 15 years of practice, I have found my passion for working with individuals living with trauma and anxiety disorders often with co-occurring depression.  

​My focus is inspired by my work with communities, agencies, and individuals to address systemic issues of racism, social inequity, institutional betrayal, and community disconnection.

Ananda Wellness is a practice specializing in assessment and psychotherapy for anxiety and trauma disorders, individual and group meditation and yoga as well as coaching and therapy for adult life transitions. 

Our goal is to create and hold space for transformation and healing so that one can (re)connect with their divine joy (ananda). We serve adults age 18 and older. 

We will be offering video/teletherapy services given current pandemic.

Harper Photography, LLC

Kelly Harper

I founded Harper Photography, LLC, in 2021. After enjoying photography as a hobby for many years, I decided to take my passion to the next level in order to better serve and bless the community.

I believe all people are beautiful and I want to capture that with my lens. I strive to make my clients confident, comfortable and carefree behind the camera, resulting in images they love and want to hang on their walls and post on their social media accounts.

On a personal level...I love the Lord, adore my husband, am overly optimistic, am a proud cat mom, addicted to iced coffee, have wild-crazy hair, and my family swears we are related to Dolly Parton.

Stress Less Therapy

Tricia Evans

My path to Massage Therapy began many years ago while I was still working in my former career and dealing with a lot of stress and headaches. After an appointment with a Massage Therapist I was amazed how much better I felt and I no longer was suffering from a headache. I believe it was on that day that my interest was piqued to massage and the power it had to relieve stress and pain.

The seed had been planted to what would become my future career path though it would take another decade + to get out of my way and ignore the " I shoulds" in life to make the full time jump into becoming a Massage Therapist. Since that time, I have not looked back and I truly love what I do.

I received my schooling from Irene's School of Myomassology in 2011 and became licensed. Though I customize my therapy to the individual client, I feel my greatest strength lies in therapeutic work. My goal is for each person who leaves my table to have less pain and improved range of motion. As with most careers, I continue to take CE's to expand my knowledge base and skill set. I'm presently advancing my knowledge of Reflexology and have finished 3 levels. In July I will have full certification. I'm sure I will continue to expand myself professionally with more certifications in other modalities. It is my joy to help others every day feel better!

Ashley Watterson

I wear A LOT of hats.

I once saw a quote that stuck with me and now I live by it.

Find three hobbies you love:

One to make you money.

One to keep you in shape.

And one to be creative.

So, why not have all three of things as jobs? I like to think my “real job” is helping people. I achieve that through the variety of “hobbies” life as led me to. Since I have always loved keeping people moving and helping their aches and pains, I started massage as a side gig to get through college and never left. Fitness is engrained in my life, and I thrive on creating an environment to make people feel comfortable in their own bodies and abilities. Coaching rowing and teaching yoga allows me the opportunity to do that. And finally, my passion project is the Knuth Family Foundation, which allows me to tap into my creative side where I can make a difference and give back to my local community.
