healing space dedication
I dedicate Healing Space Anacortes to a remarkable individual and a cherished member of our Anacortes yoga community, Tiffani Aerts.
Her life ended far too soon, but her memory continues to inspire us in our shared journey toward healing.
Tiffani was more than just a student or a member of our community; she was a beacon of hope and resilience who believed in the power of holistic healing and yoga.
Tiffani,
You continually remind me of the power of an email and reaching out. I am so sorry that a community wasn’t available during your time of need.
When I found out about your death, I knew immediately a community space would be dedicated to you. I can’t help but to think that if the pandemic hadn’t shut down the spaces that were needed the most, things may have been different.
It truly is because of you that I am opening up a new space again. Your life showed me that a community space for trauma healing was so needed in Anacortes.
You are missed, loved, and a guiding light in my life and in so many others.
Above all, you are not forgotten.
Thank you for spreading your bright light while you were here,
Nicole
In honor of Tiffani,
we would like to extend our heartfelt commitment to:
Creating Safe Spaces:
We will continue to foster a nurturing environment where individuals feel safe to share their struggles without fear of judgment.
Promoting Compassion:
Above all, we will promote a culture of compassion and understanding, reminding each other that it's okay to not be okay
Continued Learning:
We will strive to deepen our understanding of mental health, ensuring that we are better equipped to support those wrestling with inner battles.

A message from Tiffani’s husband, Scott Ely
“Tiffani was and always will be the personification of “love” to me. It was her heart and her essence that she brought to the world and everyone that knew her. She would be honored and touched to have this space dedicated to healing and recovery, especially one that is safe, focused on somatic and energetic therapies, and can help people find light within themselves.
Healing begins with the first whisper of motion forward and this space may be your first step to support.
