Lynne has been a trailblazer and leader in the wellness space since she started teaching yoga in 2001. Her deep calling to work with natural healing modalities came in the 90s as she had overcome some battles in her college years after she had dropped out of college twice. After completing her 1st teacher training at The Kripalu Center in 2001 and embarked on renting her own space, Back Bay Yoga was birthed in January 2002 and known for its down-to-earth, approachable and sincere offerings for over 12 years. She decided to sell the studio in 2015 in order to find a more balanced life out of the city. She rebirthed herself on Nantucket where she opened a wellness-based cafe which had been a long dream of hers while in Boston. Roastd General Store opened in 2017 and quickly became known as the go-to place for amazing wellness-infused lattes, house-made nut milks and carefully sourced wellness products and more. While she loved the work and community she realized that she had to fully step away to deal with some unhealed health issues.
After stepping away from Roastd General Store in 2021, Lynne has re-immersed herself in as much learning and completely changed the trajectory of her life. She had spent a lifetime healing and chasing vitality and wellness on all levels and she finally found it. The answers required a deep dive and letting go on many levels to follow what she most wanted. Vitality, Peace, and Fulfillment. The steps were broad and deep and included a lot of time in Mexico, Self-Study, and two very potent trips to Peru. Ultimately, she had found the answers by connecting to a path of ancestral healing, nervous system regulation, and honest self-talk. On this path, she learned she had to put down the things blocking her vitality and wellness on so many levels - emotional, physical, mental and spiritual. She gave up all added sugar and has not looked back. Reclaiming so many parts of herself that had been lost by the lifelong attraction and dependence on sugar that was linked to trauma. She left behind her damaged thyroid, mood swings, anxiety, digestive issues and middle age self-doubt. Her life has never been better and she is thrilled to share her path with anyone dedicated to being whole again. Along the way, she met some great teachers, and guides and the learning never ends. She found her way to Amphibian Medicines and other natural medicines that have ultimately helped to create the space for her to address and clear out the root issues of her illnesses. Lynne's work bridges between the liminal space of Yoga, Sound, and Healing with the science of NeuroBiology, Tangible results, and extensive training. Humbled by her path of destruction and rebirth, she is now dedicated to serving private, couples, groups and families to create dynamic, transformational and healing sessions, workshops, retreats and trainings. She holds offerings in Mexico, Costa Rica, California and around New England.

OUR FOUNDER
Susie Tapley beautifully blends power and purpose. With a background in business, layered with a devotion toward service and healing, Susie leads with a quiet force. In facing her own adversities and transformations, Susie became familiar with the depth of meaning and the impact of having access to healing practices, and their ability to support all types of humans.
This combined with Susie’s lifelong investment toward the integrity of service led to a clear call for creating space for others, especially her community, to connect to resources for consciousness and transformation in both mind and body.
Susie’s long term vision is to inspire future conversations and actions toward building more equity, diversity, and awareness for what it means to be well. Susie embodies being a mother, and her love toward this endeavor is no different, she nurtures spirits and uplifts visions and voices to chart new paths and change the tides of time.
