In this episode of Redefine Beauty Kristin chats with Marissa Lavin. In this episode, they discuss topics from beauty in the ballet community, what is God, and Marissa's alternative school program. Marissa Lavin is a student of LIFE. Her curiosity leads her to discover and create with the magic that God, our Source, offers through the Earth and its elements. She is a homeopath, emotional healing coach and mother of three boys, living in Jupiter, Florida.In 2020, Marissa felt as though her intuitive and professional perspectives were in stark contrast to the narratives that enveloped the world’s health story. She removed her sons from the conventional school system and in 2021, she created Soul to Soil, teaching alternative-schoolers how to learn through the lens of nature. The boutique learning program turns the industry-powered standard education model on its head. Through play, self-inquiry and language, sacred geometrical and musical studies, students learn the life supportive lessons of Syntropy, also known as quantum mechanics.She has written and produced two musical plays for the students of Soul to Soil as an effort to spark interest and bring relatability to regenerative ideas within the fields of environmental and human health. These theatrical productions serve as interactive opportunities for nature-loving students to learn and share world-healing perspectives with the greater community through live, local performances. Through her online homeopathy classes, children’s plays and the Soul to Soil education program, Marissa has dedicated her career to leading natural-minded adults and children on a journey to regenerate our-CELL-ves and our beautiful Earth by redesigning and reinvigorating a world that all natural beings deserve.

In this episode Kristin and Montana talk about Montana's music & movement based fitness programs, teaching the next generation about inner beauty, and healthy daily habits. Montana's background: I grew up in Florida in a fitness-oriented family. My mother is a Pilates instructor, and I always appreciated the joy and creativity she put into her work. After getting my classical Pilates certification and teaching at several fitness studios and privately for about 10 years, I took a pause when I had my second child. But I realized I missed moving, teaching, and my community! I developed The Montana Method, a full-body workout that incorporates my training in Pilates and barre as well as dance and yoga. Then I set up mats in my garage, and invited whoever wanted to come! The response was so positive that I opened a light, bright studio in downtown Delray Beach in 2019. During the pandemic, I live-streamed classes every day on Facebook—and fell in love with my online community, which led to founding the Montana Method Digital Studio. Clients often say they never knew how much fun they could have while working out! You will improve your fitness, balance, flexibility, and feel great in your body. The community we’ve created is inclusive, inviting, and truly one of a kind. Join us!

My background runs the gamut from Pilates to CrossFit, yin yoga to triathlon, functional and corrective exercise to pelvic floor specialist. I began teaching breath-work and meditation in 2014. I am a body nerd that will never cease to be fascinated by our vehicle. Everything I teach is rooted in somatics and the nervous system. I believe our body is our conduit for source/higher-self. The more we understand and connect with the subtle language of the body, the grater our ability to access clarity, joy and health. I host a virtual women’s circle under each new moon to connect and expand with women about the things we are passionate about.
