Machelle Varma

Machelle Varma, LMT, owns a 60-acre farm in Sherwood, Oregon, where she started an organic co-op—Our Table Cooperative—and a Pilates and massage studio called InnerConnections on the property with a focus on women's health and empowerment. A professionally trained dancer, Varma's fascination with the mental, physical, and energetic connection of movement and its influence on health and well-being, along with the experience of birthing her first child, led her to becoming a birth doula in 2000, a certified Pilates instructor in 2006, and a licensed massage therapist in 2020.
