n 2017, when Tabathe Wallace opened Creation Cottage, she was on a journey to help people on their path to self-discovery. From workshops where she taught other teachers to working with individuals looking for clarity in life, she has found her spiritual purpose. “I found myself in different places in life that weren’t ideal and weren’t empowering and I sought different ways to work on myself and ways to calm my mind and insecurities and through that, along with many years of research, reading, and self-help, I was able to find my voice and start to help others that were going

When I discovered the magic that was deep in my soul that was just missing its link, I felt compelled to share it with everyone I could.” From this magic, Creation Cottage was born. While Creation Cottage is now turning into EveryBody Yoga and Wellness, the offerings of yoga, meditation, reiki, massage therapy, professional trainings, and retreats are still there. In April 2022, Tabathe will be moving her business to Downingtown and opening a full yoga studio, but also a wellness center. “The wellness center will incorporate facials, massage, body work, and other spa treatments.” said Tabathe. The idea behind her new business name is changing the perception of yoga and simplifying it to be for everyone. “I’d like anyone who is reading a description of a class to resonate with a certain one and know which is for them. We’re going to incorporate different types of yoga and meditation into those classes to help with various ailments. So, if someone is seeking more vitality, they can come to class and get a mix of the different pieces that will help their vitality, so it really is prescription-based, according to whatever it is that person needs.” Tabathe’s goal is to 2022 • Volume 10——
