✨ Next FREE Emotional Fitness Studio Event! ✨

This Thursday, from 6:30–8:00 p.m., join us for Mindfulness Made Simple.

We’ll explore what mindfulness really is (and what it’s not!) through interactive, hands-on practices. You’ll get the chance to move, reflect, and try out different mindfulness tools you can take with you into everyday life.

This isn’t just learning about mindfulness, it’s about experiencing it.

I’ll be your guide for the evening, and there are still a few spots left to register. Don’t miss it—see you Thursday!

Join us for a mindfulness workshop to find calm, clarity, and balance with simple techniques that fit into your busy life.

Yesterday, I had the joy of joining the Anne Arundel County Public Schools Educator Expo to share the mission of the Emotional Fitness Studio.
I handed out over 100 brochures, each one an invitation to a free, year-round resource for our community.

This is more than a program. It’s a community space where you belong. A place where carefully chosen tools and workshops are here to support your mental and emotional well-being.

Because healing and growing as a human should never be done alone. You don’t have to figure out where to start; I’m bringing the information to you, free of charge, thanks to local businesses that believe in this mission too.

And what’s a better goal than building a community that lifts each other up in what I believe is the foundation of our humanity: our mental and emotional health.

Thank you Thrive Gym Annapolis Krissia's Cleaning Services for your support!

People often ask if I get tired of setting up event after event. The answer is simple: not at all. The Emotional Fitness Studio is a dream come true. It is something I once imagined and now get to offer. We host about three in-person events a month, over 30 a year, and I love every part of it. All events are FREE. I get to witness real impact, meet incredible people, and help create a space where emotional growth, connection, and community support come to life. This is all possible thanks to proud sponsors like: Thrive Gym Annapolis Krissia's Cleaning Services and Bright Beginning Children's Learning Center If you know of any local business out there that want to support this initiative in 2026 and join forces to keep making an impact in our community, please guide them my way.

✨ Sponsor Spotlight ✨

This photo takes me back to such a sweet season of life. Both of my kids went to Bright Beginnings Children Learning Center, and now, years later, they’re one of the proud sponsors of the Emotional Fitness Studio. Full circle moments like this remind me how deeply rooted this project is in our community.

Our sponsors aren’t random logos. They are local businesses I know, love, and trust. They’re places I’ve personally experienced, and people who truly believe in the power of emotional well-being. That’s why they’ve chosen to support this initiative, not just with funding, but with heart.

If you have (or know) a little one between the ages of 2 and 5, I can’t recommend Bright Beginnings enough. They were such a special part of my family’s journey, and I’ll always be grateful for the foundation they gave my kids. 💛

Thank you, Bright Beginnings, for continuing to care for families and now supporting emotional wellness in our wider community!

For 12 years, I was part of the mental health team in a hospital emergency room, watching people come in feeling overwhelmed, alone, and often emotionally isolated long before the crisis began. It showed me just how much we separate emotions from the rest of our lives, and how dangerous that disconnection can be.

So I asked myself: What if we had spaces to build emotional strength the way we train physically? What if we could do it together, consistently, and without shame?

That’s why I created The Emotional Fitness Studio in Annapolis.

Free classes, experiences, and events offered throughout the year.
Led by local wellness providers who share their best tips and tools.
A space where we come together as a community to learn, to grow, and to prevent isolation, burnout, and disconnection.

I created the Emotional Fitness Studio in Annapolis for YOU! 🧠💛

A space where we can learn, reflect, move, connect, and build the kind of emotional strength that helps you handle life without losing yourself, even when things get messy.

From journaling to dance to breathwork and more, there’s something for everyone.

Emotional fitness doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens in community.

Emotional fitness happens in community. 💛

This initiative wouldn’t be possible without the support of our incredible sponsors who believe in mental and emotional wellness as much as I do.

A huge thank you to Annapolis Orthodontics! Not only have they supported the Emotional Fitness Studio since day one, but they also proudly display our brochures in their waiting area, helping us reach even more people.

This is what it looks like when something is supported by the community, brought by the community, for the community, to create community.

Ever wish your emotions came with an owner’s manual?
One minute you’re fine… the next, not so much. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, confused, or just plain human.

If you Ever felt… anything? 😅 Then this is for you.

Whether it’s joy, stress, anger, sadness, or all of the above in one afternoon, this free workshop is your chance to hit pause and check in with your emotions.

Join me on Monday, June 30th at 6:30 PM for the next session with the Emotional Fitness Studio in Annapolis, all about (you guessed it) emotions! What they are, how they show up in your life, and how to handle them in a self-supportive way.

🌀 This is not a lecture. It’s an experience,
a space to reflect, connect, and build a better relationship with your emotional world.

Come as you are. Bring your emotions (yes, all of them).
Let’s make space to understand and care for them.

📍Free & in person
