Tuesday Orluk
Tuesday Orluk’s passion for holistic health and wellness began as a deeply personal journey when her second daughter was born with serious health challenges. From an early age, Tuesday and her husband faced the frightening reality of their daughter’s condition, watching as she endured constant infections, hospital stays, and debilitating fatigue. She was diagnosed with a rare disease, but medication brought its own issues. Struggling to find a lasting solution, Tuesday began exploring alternative ways to support her daughter’s wellness. A friend introduced Tuesday to essential oils and natural supplements, marking a turning point in her daughter’s health. The shift to natural therapies brought remarkable results: her daughter’s energy levels improved, her infections dwindled, and her hospital visits became rare. Witnessing her daughter’s transformation inspired Tuesday to change her own approach to health, using essential oils, natural supplements, and a nutrition-focused lifestyle to strengthen her own immune system and well-being.
Today, Tuesday is passionate about sharing this holistic approach with others. With a deep understanding of the body’s need for balance, she has dedicated her career to helping clients detoxify, rejuvenate, and achieve vitality. Her practice combines the healing powers of essential oils, natural supplements, nutritional guidance, Reiki healing and hypnosis, biomagnetism providing a comprehensive path to wellness. Driven by her personal journey, Tuesday is committed to empowering others to live healthier, more vibrant lives—inside and out.

Certified Rolfing Structural Integrator
Vanessa Sychak
Certified Rolfing®
Structural Integraton
Available at the Hive
Tuesdays
1pm-5:30pm
Vanessa began her holistic practice in 2014 as a yoga instructor and body-worker. After living in South East Asia for two years studying local healing traditions she traveled to Boulder CO to learn the art of Rolfing®. Today, Vanessa is an Intuitive, Embodiment, Rolfing® Structural Integratior.
What is Rolfing®?
Rolfing® Structural integration is a whole-body approach to alignment and wellness. While sessions are offered individually the full benefits of Rolfing® are best experienced through what is referred to as the 10-series.
The 10-series is essentially one session that is broken down into 10 to 15 hours of manual therapy that is performed over 6 weeks to 10 months. The client and practitioner work together to unwrap fascial tensions in the body which allows the individual to align in gravity. This increased ease in the gravitational field allows for better posture, and many report increased mobility, flexibility and decreased pain.
You can I do only 1 session as well. Sessions can be designed around your availability and need.
Vanessa is available at the “Holistic Health Hive” Tuesdays 1pm-5:30pm

Yoga Instructor
Nina Umali
Nina Umali first stepped onto the mat in March 2019 during a yin yoga class in East Hampstead, NH — and it was love at first practice. That quiet moment of surrender opened the door to a lifelong journey with yoga, one that has since taken her around the world.
She has studied yoga in Puerto Rico, and deepened her practice of Vedic Meditation, Rounding, and Breathwork in Italy. These experiences have shaped her holistic and mindful approach to teaching, weaving together global wisdom traditions with her own heart-centered perspective.
Nina specializes in Restorative, Yin, Gentle Flow, and Yoga Nidra practices. Her classes emphasize compassion, deep rest, and intentional movement, creating a safe space for students to connect with themselves and discover the healing power of stillness.
With every class, Nina invites her students to slow down, breathe deeply, and cultivate balance within body, mind, and spirit. She believes yoga is a practice of honoring where you are today, while opening yourself to the possibilities of tomorrow.
✨ Join Nina on the mat to rest, restore, and realign — and to carry that sense of peace into everyday life.
