Tammy Ludwig RN CHC LMT RYT

I founded Original Essence as a place to share my experience and passion with you. I am a retired emergency/critical care RN, a former bodybuilder and martial artist. Health, nutrition, and fitness have been my passion and focus of study for most of my life. I studied eastern healing therapies through the Dahn Advanced Healer Program, received Health and Nutrition Coaching Certification through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and am certified as a Meditation Teacher under Guru Anmol Metha.  I studied at the Sun Institute and Cortiva Institute of Massage Therapy for NJ licensure in massage, and completed 300 hour traditional Yoga teacher training at Naturally Yoga.  I've learned the art of listening to the language of the body with respect and reverence. I believe wellness is available to each of us from within. It is achieved through self awareness, breath, laughter, movement, nutrition, and human interaction. It all begins with taking the first steps toward feeling good in your own skin. Your wellness is my priority. I appreciate the opportunity to serve you. My goal is that you always leave feeling better than when you came in. We strive to provide you with a safe and private space for healing and wellness without judgment where YOU are always the most important person in the room.

Kalyna De Angelo MA CHC

Born and raised in New Jersey I had a passion for nutrition and healing others. While studying at the University of New Hampshire and Montclair State University to receive my masters degree I realized I wanted to chase my passion. I attended the Institute of Integrative Nutrition to become a certified Integrative and Nutrition Health Coach. I work with clients to examine their relationship with food, stress, movement, and sleep. There is an intimate connection between what we eat, how we take care of our bodies, and our overall health and happiness. I create a supportive environment that enables you to achieve your goals and create long lasting results. 

Samantha Mundy RN BSN RYT

I am passionate about developing strength, mobility, and balance to promote lifelong health and wellness. My intention is to help our clients experience true mind-body connection and self awareness. I believe that yoga is for everyone, regardless of your current body condition. Our classes are not about perfection, but more about progress. It all starts by showing up to your mat! I teach private and small group classes and courses that are accessible to all, so that each student has the opportunity to discover new ways to love and nourish their physical body. I also hope to cultivate a healing space in each class. Overall, I want ot provide a unique space, where anyone can feel safe and gain what they need to achieve their own personal health and happiness. I completed my BSN and BA in Psychology at Ramapo College of NJ, and completed 200 hour level yoga certification from Indigo Yoga in Caldwell NJ. My experience in nursing has taught me that it is easier to become injured than it is to heal. "Prevention is better than cure" - Desiderius Erasmus, Philosopher. I look forward to serving you to meet your wellness goals.
