Liz Evans

Owner, Founder

Liz Evans has been involved in the wellness field for over 20 years.  She has been a practicing massage therapist ever since she graduated from the Baltimore School of Massage in 2001. She is a certified nutritional counselor, and has been teaching her own brand of fitness and restorative movement, Core Transformation, since 2013.  She is the pioneer of a unique form of bodywork called Core Alignment Therapy and teaches it to other bodyworkers.
Her passion for wellness has led her to open Wellspring Vitality, a true wellness hub, where you can find the best in holistic care practitioners and wellness technologies.  Wellspring Vitality, under her direction, will offer all kinds of ways for people to be empowered as they pursue vitality in their lives: workshops, fitness and movement classes, and group activities that inspire joy.
Joy is, in fact, her middle name.  Other ways that she finds joy? She is a grandparent, mother of six, loves to write, hike, bike, and be in and on the water as much as possible. Worship of the Creator and the thrill of unwinding pain out of people’s bodies and spirits or sharing a gourmet meal with family really inspire and fill her soul. She is currently writing a book about healing from complex trauma. To find out more about Liz, head on over to www.handsonbodyworks.com
Alyson - Front Desk Manager

Alyson Muse

Front Desk Manager

I have lived in Paonia for 5 years and before that in Redstone for 5 years. I’m originally from Georgia and first discovered the western slope when me and my ex-husband were first married and visited, 17 years ago.

I started going regularly to Wellspring after getting a nasty cold a few years ago. I was really depleted and felt like I needed to look into what they had to offer to get me back on track. The salt room was of particular interest to me since I suffered from ongoing allergies and sinus issues. I got a membership and started going in regularly and really felt better physically and mentally. It offered me a way to take time for myself and do the wellness technologies which really helped me to feel my best.

When the opportunity came up to work at Wellspring it felt like a natural fit. I love helping others to feel good and honor themselves through self-care practices. It’s a great team and we are all very passionate about what we do!!

I live on Redlands Mesa with my husband, mother-in-law, and 3 dogs. We have lived here since September 2022.  We came here frequently to visit over the past 8 years. Last summer we finally made the long-awaited move to this beautiful valley. I’m so grateful to call this place home.

One of my passions is integrated health, and healing from the inside. When I brought my mother-in-law to see Liz, I knew I wanted to be part of the Wellspring team.

Tamara is a native of the North Fork Valley.  After a 15-year odyssey with the National Park Service into some of the most exquisite gems of the American West, she has returned to her own familiar hearthfire.  She is a homeschooling mother of four teenage children, also dabbling in piano tuning and repairs in her free time.  She enjoys watercolor painting, photography, playing the piano, hiking, gardening, and traditional methods of cooking. She is pleased to be able to use her natural love of order and beauty behind the scenes as Wellspring’s billing specialist, enabling our Veterans to receive the care they need and deserve.

Nina Worley

Event Coordinator
I’ve been in the North Fork area for five years and I am a Grand Junction native.
My understanding of essential oils and recognizing their value started when my daughter was 10 months old and she became ill with a mystery diagnosis that was untreatable by western medicine. After trying many natural remedies, nothing worked..until doTerra! After seeing this incredible testimony for myself, I naturally shared doTerra with everyone and built a successful business on accident, by intentionally through serving people and loving them.
My incredible experience encouraged me to live a very natural lifestyle, removing all toxins and chemicals from my house. I began curating my own natural care products, raising bees and harvesting my own beeswax for my body butters and lip balm.
I am passionate about seeing the life transforming effects of doterra and love educating and empowering people to change their lives and take control of their health naturally.
