Our movement practitioner is a Certified Trauma-Informed Youth-Yoga Instructor and a Certified Preschool Teacher in both Connecticut and Massachusetts. The rewarding experience of teaching at Headstart for the past two years lends a compassionate and healing approach to her yoga practice. Along with warmth and humor she engages both healing and resilience with a deep understanding of trauma-sensitive techniques.
She creates a safe and nurturing space for her students to explore movement, mindfulness, silence and sound. Her passion for yoga and wellness extends beyond the studio, as she advocates for holistic well-being and self-care strategies for all members of the family.
Also, Tilly enjoys immersing herself in nature, gardening, creating art, and fostering a sense of humor and community! Her dedication to personal growth and empowerment shines through in all aspects of her life.

In 2024, when Tilly LaRochelle, a pre-school art teacher at Head Start and a trauma informed yoga instructor and Alexandre Pazmandy, a massage therapist and sound healer, met, their approach to care marked a shifting. Their discussions on early childhood and education made them realize that children were the population that was struggling the most. In all aspects of their short life, healing was utterly needed.
What child is able to support themselves at 3, 4 or 5 years old when parents are financially struggling? What impact has a single parent family struggling emotionally on a child of 6? How can a child deal with neglect, abuse, trauma in absence of recognition or support? There was an emergency.
There is an emergency!
Our future lies in our children's hearts ans hands.
They deserve the best attention.
They deserve the best care.
Then Tilly and Alex decided to design and develop a sound and movement program for children (and for grown ups too:)
Their passions in Sound and Movement Therapies quickly combined into a non-profit:
Vibes Of Change was born!
What do we do?
We go into healthcare facilities, hospitals, classrooms, private homes, etc...and:
We sing!
We play instruments!
We move the body for the mind to follow!
We jump to the stars!
We propose other languages of expression!
We dance together as a fierce attempt to open the door of the cage in which we are trapped and where words are not enough or don't exist!
We say hi to the sun because it counts too!
and
We listen to the moon!
