With a lifelong passion for natural health, Ravit began her 36 year journey at the Sarasota School of Massage and was state certified in 1988. She quickly realized she wanted more and continued on with St. John Neuromuscular Therapy to be certified as an advanced Neuromuscular therapist, eventually assisting with teaching in seminar format. After selling her well-established practice in Florida, she relocated to Colorado where she attended Colorado University in Pre-Med studies in order to further her knowledge. She opened Elements of Touch with her husband Monte and 2 other therapists in 1992. With her love for pain management and medical massage technique, she joined the medical staff at Timberline Medical and worked along side MD’s and DO’s for 8 years. Realizing that body work and exercise alone is not enough, she studied at the school of Integrative healing in Denver and became a state-certified Colorado wellness coach as well as a certified personal trainer and Pilates instructor in 2004. On-going classes in Ayurvedic healing modalities are her current passion after having studied at Rocky Mountain Yoga Ayurveda Institute and getting certified as an Ayurvedic practitioner in 2011. She currently wellness coaches, takes private clients for advanced bodywork, teaches Pilates for core strength, and provides rehab and injury prevention, teaches twice a week at the Estes Valley Community Center in Estes Park. Ravit is an international Yoga and Pilates instructor traveling 4-8 weeks a year teaching in exclusive resorts.  Ravit is also a freelance wellness writer contributing monthly to the Estes Park trail gazette wellness section and writes for a Colorado based wellness magazine called Get Well Live Well. With her team of highly qualified, specially chosen therapists, Ravit is proud to offer treatments that have been celebrated and honored for thousands of years at the spa.

Jen as we lovingly call her has been at Elements for 9 years. Massage and healing touch has always been part of her life, from childhood pre-bedtime backrubs, family get-togethers, and amongst friends. About 20 years ago, she decided to make it official and go to massage therapy school while living in Chicago, and it has forever changed her life. Since then, she has been providing professional bodywork, continuing her education, helping others, and teaching students the art of massage therapy. Among her many specializations are craniosacral therapy, Ayurvedic techniques, Thai massage, Shiatsu massage, foot and hand reflexology, myofascial release, deep tissue work, and energy Work. Her youngest client was a newborn baby; her oldest was 97 in a hospice program that she offered volunteer massage services for. After all these years, she still loves what she does!

"Somatic bodywork is any type of bodywork—whether it’s massage, reiki, or craniosacral therapy—where you and your practitioner consciously work with your inner perceptions. It combines bodywork with verbal skills, and it works with a lot more than muscles...Somatic works with the whole of you: your physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts; your intuition and imagery; your spiritual insights. It can facilitate deep healing of old wounds and trauma, but it is definitively not talk therapy."
