The QJM Team
Our core team consists of our three founders, with a growing network of guest practitioners. If you are interested in joining the team as a practitioner, please reach out to our email!
Dianna Baptista (she/her)
Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master, Dance Teacher
I am Yoga Instructor of 15 years and also work professionally as a Reiki Master and Psychic Medium. In most of my work, I am firmly focused on soul in the body, mind, soul trinity. I Iove helping people excavate what spirituality or soulfulness means to them in pursuit of increasing self-worth and navigating personal truths.
​
I am thrilled to infuse our work with a sense of belonging to something greater - whether that’s within your spirituality or our growing community.​
​
Emily Beale (she/her)
Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher
​I am trained specifically in trauma informed yoga, and am currently completing my 300 hour training in trauma sensitive yoga.
Yoga for me is a safe place to start to feel the fullness of the complex and confusing human experience, and I hope to share that with other people who are looking for a way back to themselves.

Frank Levermore he/she/they
Mindfulness Teacher
​I come to QJM as an accredited mindfulness teacher. I’m really excited to hold some mindfulness sessions with playful twists, connecting with the inner child, celebrating the body, and being a bit silly!
I am also currently undertaking an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy with the goal of bring accessible, trauma informed care to the queer community. I'm passionate about creating spaces for queer and trans people to come together in talking circles to support one another in the difficult time we’re living in.​​

Guest Practitioners
Adrienne Wilkinson (she/they)
Massage Therapist
​I am a holistic massage therapist. My interest in bodywork grew from my own journey of connection and healing. Our bodies hold stress, and through massage we can gently release it—soothing the nervous system, easing pain, and letting emotions move.
​There is no right way to have a body — massage can help you befriend yours and feel safe within it. Consent and choice guide every session—we’ll talk, plan together, and adjust as we go so you can truly relax and receive.

Ella Hamlin (she/her)
Hatha Vinyasa teacher
I am a local Hatha Vinyasa teacher, excited to bring this beautiful practice to beginners and intermediate students. My classes incorporate many aspects of Hatha Yoga; asana, pranayama, meditation. As a queer woman, I am thrilled to be a small cog in this community and to hold a space where queer people can be their most authentic selves. In an industry where lgbtqia+ representation often lacks, I strive to make my classes accessible to those who often don’t feel seen within movement communities.
