Meet Lacey Schmidt: Triathlete, Ironman, Ultra endurance runner, teacher, and Owner of YogaSix Collegeville. Lacey has been an elementary school teacher for the past 13 years, and just days before the Pandemic, she signed a lease to open a Vinyasa yoga studio in Collegeville, PA. Lacey was not always a practitioner of yoga. In fact, she never had any interest in making her way onto a mat, and did so only so that she could spend some extra time with a dear friend of hers. It wasn't long until Lacey was hooked to the connection of her mind, body, and spirit. Things instantly shifted in Lacey's life when she decided to give the practice a try, and she soon became a certified yoga instructor so that she could help others experience the beauty of the practice. Lacey's favorite thing about the practice is experiencing the mix of asanas and the build-up of “fire” along with it’s flowing water-like transition. She also loves to meet her students wherever they are at; and provide safe spaces for them to grow. Lacey welcomes the community to join her on their mat at YogaSix Collegeville. She is just as excited to experience yoga with others as she is to learn their story. Come share "your why" with Lacey, and experience a full-sensory yoga experience at YogaSix Collegeville!

A licensed psychotherapist since 1995, Geralyn is a playful, soul-provoking life coach who believes one of the keys to happiness is being able to laugh at yourself. She is the author of JUNGLE JEAN, the biography of her mentor, Jean Liedloff, who traveled into the pristine regions of the Venezuelan rainforest back in the 1950s and subsequently wrote a seminal book, THE CONTINUUM CONCEPT, which became a childrearing classic. In her work with clients, Geralyn assists adults who did not have a fully enriched infancy and childhood (i.e.: most of us), to see and feel the very real impact of “missing experiences.” The insight, understanding, and self-knowledge gained gives them new freedom and the courage to live a fully actualized life. She shows people how to "transmogrify" their everyday experience by leaning into the joy that is our natural state. Geralyn loves to share the story of how she learned to turn life’s many challenges into sources of energy rather than energy-sucking problems that put the kibosh on her life force.Geralyn has been deeply influenced by a decades-long fascination with Littlewood's Law of Miracles, which states that any individual can expect to experience an outrageous event every thirty days. She is a blackbelt martial artist, salad aficionado, and renowned hair chameleon. Her favorite brain hack is jumping out of an airplane.  For information on Geralyn, please visit www.junglejean.com.

One day he was a lawyer, the next a doctor or truck driver or even an astronaut. Anything and everything was possible.

These conditionings and beliefs started to take Robert’s life in a direction of playing smaller than he was. Luckily he had people in his life that were not willing to let him go in that direction and because of these people believing in him, Robert has made it his mission to assist others in living the life of their dreams as well.It all began when after some success, Robert and his wife found themselves deep in debt and struggling. Thanks to guidance from total strangers, they started their journey in personal development and quickly turned things around. This led to Robert finding his true passion of learning and teaching others. It is because of his past and newfound passion for teaching that Riopel started studying and mentoring from the top success trainers and thinkers in the world to find out what they have in common and this is where he discovered that “Success Left A Clue”.With this information, he has gone on to become a highly sought after, life-transforming trainer that now travels the world teaching and inspiring hundreds and thousands of people each year about success through his CLUE’s.  It is now time for Robert Raymond Riopel to share this knowledge, that he has learned over 15+ years training, with the world through his book “Success Left A Clue”.  For more information on Robert, please visit www.successleftaclue.com.  To get a free eBook copy of Robert's book "Success Left a Clue" please visit www.slac.rocks/book.

SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN. INDEPENDENT LEADER. STRONG REPUBLICAN.Jim White is a husband, father, coach, small businessman and taxpayer with a 25-year career building businesses and protecting companies from cyberattacks.  A lifelong Republican, Jim was taught to work hard at an early age – owning a grass cutting business, working at gas stations, doing construction and pool cleaning work all through high school.Now he’s focused on giving back to the community where he and his wife have lived, worked and raised their daughters for the last 14 years. With a promise to bring his tireless work ethic to township government, Jim vows to help control local spending to hold the line on taxes while providing the services that make Upper Providence one of the best places to live in the entire region.  Service to our community is not new for Jim.  Jim has been an active coach and mentor to our youth for more than half a decade, serving as an Upper Providence Little League tee ball and softball coach as well as a Spring Ford Youth basketball coach. Public service runs through Jim’s blood – his great uncle served as a Member of Congress from Pennsylvania, his grandfather was a Philadelphia police officer while his mom was a nurse and his father worked at the Naval Air Warfare Center in Warminster for 30 years.  Jim has also served the Republican Party as an elected Upper Providence Committeeman, was an Executive Committee member of the Montgomery County Republican Committee and traveled to Cleveland as an Alternate Delegate to the Republican National Committee in 2016. Jim currently serves the UP Board of Supervisors as the Vacancy Board Chairman.  Working his way through college, Jim built a life as he finished his education, earning his bachelor’s degree in 2006 from Immaculata University and taking MBA classes at Delaware Valley University to continue his pursuit of higher education. Jim knows good schools are critical to our success as a township – and region – but also know we must control taxes at every level so funding our future doesn’t cripple retirees and working families with high taxes today. Jim will use his businesses and professional skills to find that balance in local government.Jim and his wife of nearly 20 years, Tracey, own a home in Phoenixville. Together, they also operate several successful business ventures, including a security company that focuses on emerging industries as well as rental properties they own and manage. Jim and Tracey have raised their daughters in Upper Providence – with their oldest attending Aim Academy in Conshohocken and their youngest in 6th grade at Spring Ford Middle School. Their five-year-old Westie, Lilly, is the fifth member of their family.An independent leader committed to making government more open, more transparent, and more responsive for the people it serves, Jim will be a champion for all Upper Providence residents in elected office. Called to serve his community, Jim is running for Supervisor to work for those who work hard every day.  A CITIZEN, TAXPAYER & FISCAL EXPERT READY TO PUT TAXPAYERS FIRSTTom Yeager is not a career politician – he’s one of us: a local businessman, father, husband, and coach. Tom is ready to serve and bring our Republican principles of fiscal conservatism to township government to protect taxpayers and focus on real priorities that make our community even better.The son of a hardworking engineer and a stay-at-home mom, Tom learned early the value of hard work - and then used what he learned to succeed in life.Working and paying his way through college, Tom earned a degree in Business Logistics from Penn State University. He then continued to hard work toward success in the business world, rising today to the position of Vice President of Supply Chain and Customer Service at a Fortune 500 company where he oversees a budget of $300 million. His proven skills at fiscal oversight and increasing efficiency will help taxpayers here in Upper Providence as he ensures township government works effectively for residents by delivering high quality services at the best possible cost.  In addition to his work at St. Gobain, Tom sits as a member of two companies’ Executive Management teams helping them to control costs, meet positive outcomes for employees and customers, and demand accountability and transparency – the same goals he will meet as our next Supervisor.  Tom is also committed to a stronger future for Upper Providence as only a dad can be – ready to fight hard to improve the opportunities we leave for the next generation. Tom and his wife, Christina, have been married for 10 years and are raising their blended family together as proud parents of Christina’s three children and their 9-year-old twins, all of whom attend Spring Ford schools.  The Yeagers are family members of Rivercrest Golf Club where they are avid golfers and active members. In fact, they’re very much like so many families in our area – enjoying movie nights, dinners and family vacations throughout the year as time and money allow.  For more information on how to support Jim and Tom, please visit www.whiteyeagerupt.com.
