With the renovation of a couple of rooms in The Andover Hub as pleasant places for small groups or one-on-one sessions, The Hub hopes to add various kinds of counseling and individual services and lessons to the mix of community classes, discussions and events already happening in the building and available to area residents.

Kristen Nesbitt, M.Ed., learning specialist and yoga teacher, has worked to transform a former office space in The Hub into The Little Studio, a peaceful, quiet place for small yoga classes, individual yoga and reiki sessions, and for one-on-one holistic educational services and tutoring.  Ms. Nesbitt focuses on using mindfulness as a way to relieve stress and anxiety. More information on her offerings can be found at www.backroadsyoga.com.

Theresa Georges, M.A., M.Ed., LADC, offers counseling for children over the age of 8 and for adults and is available to meet for individual counseling at The Hub. Ms. Georges brings over 25 years of experience working with a variety of topics including trauma, addiction, mental-health concerns and resiliency building. She uses strategies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to work with clients.  For more information, contact Ms. Georges at 802-922-7513.

Others interested in making use of a space at The Hub to offer small group  or individual lessons or services (music lessons, counseling, tutoring, a meditation group or a writer’s circle, massage, Pilates, etc.) are encouraged to get in touch with The Hub by email at AndoverCommunitySpace@nullgmail.com. The Hub also has spaces that work well for larger meetings, workshops and events.
