Guiding Women Home to Themselves—One Breath, One Step at a Time

Northwoods Velvære Studio was born from a deep calling, one rooted in my own healing journey, lived experience, and a desire to create a softer, more supportive space for women who’ve always felt a little different.

I’m Bobbi Jo Hamilton, LICSW, a somatic mental health therapist and yoga teacher. I created this practice for women and teen girls navigating invisible struggles, burnout, chronic illness, trauma, neurodivergence, and life transitions all while continuing to show up for everyone else. For those craving rest, realness, and a return to themselves.

Here, healing isn’t forced. It unfolds.

Through compassionate, body-centered therapy and intuitive yoga, I help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, regulate your nervous system, and rediscover a sense of grounded peace. My approach honors your pace, your boundaries, and your lived experience because sustainable healing happens when you feel seen, supported, and safe.

This studio isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you soften, reconnect, and reclaim who you truly are—without shame, pressure, or perfection.

All therapy sessions are offered via secure telehealth throughout Minnesota, allowing you to receive care from the comfort of your own space.
I’m also in the process of obtaining my LCSW in North Dakota, to expand access to somatic, feminine-centered care across state lines.

Whether you’re navigating a major life change, seeking support for chronic stress, or ready to rebuild your relationship with your body and self, this is a space for you.

Meet Bobbi Jo

I’ve spent thousands of hours supporting women through anxiety, burnout, and trauma, helping them find steadiness in both body and mind. My work integrates traditional therapy with somatic practices, mindfulness, and gentle nervous system support.

I bring both professional training and lived understanding into every session. My own journey through military service, chronic illness, grief, and transformation continues to shape the care I offer—compassionate, real, and deeply human..

Outside the Studio

I find peace close to home spending time in my backyard gardens, tending to the flowers, and creating a space that feels calm and restorative. My greatest joy comes from time with my partner, kids, grandkids, and our dogs and cats, who fill everyday life with love and laughter.

I know what it means to rebuild after hardship, to rise, soften, and begin again. That’s why this work means so much to me. Healing is not linear, but it is always possible.
