Meet Deidre Schuetz
(MA, LMT, HTS)
Welcome to a world where well-being meets purpose, where balance is not just a concept but a way of life. I am Deidre Schuetz, your guide in the journey towards holistic health and vitality. With a passion for people and the planet, I have dedicated my life to fostering well-being on a global scale.
A Journey Rooted in Expertise
With a robust background in Arts and Administration (MA), International Studies and Spanish (BAs), and my certifications in Nonprofit Management (graduate-level), social innovation and social entrepreneurship, climate change and health, mind-body wellness optimization, and horticultural therapy reflect my commitment to multidisciplinary healing approaches. With 20+ years of experience facilitating sustainable solutions across sectors, disciplines, and cultures, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the table as my expertise extends beyond academic achievements. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist (OR #12360), specializing in therapeutic and medical massage since 2006. Over the years, I have seamlessly woven my skills into various integrative healthcare environments, focusing on health prevention and injury recovery, and particularly proud of upstarting and co-leading the nonprofit initiative, Nutrition Garden Rx (fiscally sponsored by the YWCA of Greater Portland) to optimize urban gardens for health and climate benefits.
A Global Perspective, A Local Touch
My journey has taken me across continents, allowing me to embrace different cultures and languages. My trilingual abilities (English, French, Spanish) enable me to connect with diverse communities. Living abroad for 6 years, including 5 transformative years in West Africa, has shaped my profound insights into human-nature balance and the healing power of gardens. My global perspective infuses every aspect of my practice, a deeply rooted and universally relevant approach to well-being that we adapt for your wellness adventure.
