About Us
At Agapi Wellness Center, we believe in the transformative power of self-love. Agapi means unconditional love in Greek, and that’s the energy we pour into every service we offer. Our sanctuary is a place where healing begins from within—through Reiki, yoga, holistic skincare, and mindful wellness practices.
Founded with a deep passion for energetic healing and spiritual connection, our mission is to help you reconnect with your inner light. Whether you come to restore balance, awaken your intuition, or simply take a breath from the outside world, you’ll find a space that welcomes you exactly as you are—with love, intention, and grace.
Meet Our Team
Joanna Spinos
Founder | Usui Reiki Master/Teacher | Karuna Reiki Master
Agapi began as a calling and became a commitment. I created this space to be the sanctuary I always searched for: calm, intentional, and deeply restorative. A place where healing is held with reverence, and love is practiced as care.
My path has been shaped by both devoted study and lived experience in intuition, energetic healing, and mindful presence, not as an aesthetic, but as a way of life.
At the heart of my practice is Reiki—an energetic healing modality that supports the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. Reiki is gentle, yet powerful. It invites deep relaxation, restores internal steadiness, and helps you reconnect with your innate capacity for healing. The goal is never to “fix” you, it’s to guide you back to yourself, and offer tools you can carry beyond each session.
As a certified Usui Reiki Master/Teacher and Karuna Reiki Master, I hold this work with integrity, consistency, and deep respect. Sessions are calm, grounded, and intentional. You’ll always be met with care, at your pace, in your timing.
Agapi was built not only for clients, but for the practitioners who bring their craft here, to be respected, supported, and given space to grow within a standard of care that truly honors what they do.
This is the power of love, the gift of healing.
And you are welcome here.
Raven Basit
Executive Business Manager of Operations and Marketing
When Joanna shared her vision for Agapi, I felt an immediate calling to help bring it to life. Our connection has always been deeply spiritual and intuitive, and when we chose to collaborate on this journey, we knew we could create something truly special—a space rooted in love, intention, and healing.
Agapi was born from the belief that everyone deserves to feel welcomed, supported, and seen.
Although much of my work is done behind the scenes, I feel deeply connected to the mission of Agapi and the energy it holds. At Agapi Wellness Center, our hope is to gently remind each client that healing begins within, and that love is at the heart of transformation.
I have long been guided by energy healing practices and remain deeply committed to the growth and expansion of holistic wellness. Through Agapi, it is my intention to support a space of deep restoration, balance, and self-discovery, allowing each person to reconnect with their own innate healing power.

Marg Schmidt
Registered Yoga Teacher | Yin Specialist
I’m an RYT 200 with nearly ten years of teaching experience, specializing in Yin yoga. My classes focus on stillness, breath awareness, and creating space for students to slow down, soften, and reconnect, supporting both physical comfort and inner awareness.
I’m a yoga teacher devoted to creating calm, grounding spaces where students can slow down and truly tune in. My teaching style is gentle and meditative, blending mindful movement, breath awareness, and long-held postures to support deep release. I love guiding people toward greater ease in their bodies and clarity in their minds, helping them leave each class feeling restored, balanced, and reconnected to themselves.
Carrie Pokorney-Matkaitis
Registered Yoga Teacher
Carrie is a RYT 200, RPYT 90. Yoga found Carrie 18 years ago during a season of deep anxiety and existential questioning. From her very first class, she felt the transformative power of the practice, not just physically, but in the way it reshaped her relationship with her body, mind, and the world around her.
She studied classical yoga for two years at the Moksha School of Yoga, exploring Ashtanga, Iyengar, trauma-informed yoga, Forrest Yoga, yin, restorative, and somatics. Carrie is also a certified prenatal yoga teacher and is passionate about empowering women through every season of life.
Her classes blend breathwork, heart-opening movement, meditation, and mantra, always inviting students to turn inward with curiosity and without judgment.
Deanna Spear
Registered Yoga Teacher
What makes me unique as an instructor is the way I intentionally weave mental health and mindful movement together. I am a strong advocate for mental health and well-being, and I integrate these values into every class I teach. I am currently pursuing a master’s degree at Northwestern University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I firmly believe that yoga and mental health can and should go hand in hand.
My background in dance has given me a deep understanding of the human body and how it moves, which allows me to offer thoughtful cues and accessible modifications. I strive to create classes where yoga feels supportive, empowering, and welcoming for every BODY. Above all, my intention is for students to leave each class feeling empowered, reflective, and good in their bodies—more connected to themselves and better equipped to carry that awareness off the mat.
