💡 Did you know that yoga and meditation do more than just help you feel better, they actually help your brain function better?

At Peace of Mind, we offer a safe and supportive space both in person and virtually to explore, heal, and emerge. With our trauma-informed staff, we understand how to hold space for you and your nervous system.

Here’s why practices like yoga and meditation matter:

🧘🏻‍♀️ They regulate the nervous system
🧠 MRI studies show practitioners have a larger cerebral cortex (reasoning) and hippocampus (memory)
📉 They help lower cortisol (stress hormone)
💫 They increase endorphins (feel-good chemicals)
🌀 They boost GABA levels, calming the brain and reducing fear + anxiety
🌬 Deep breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping us to rest and digest
🧘🏾 Meditation strengthens our ability to respond rather than react

Your breath. Your body. Your brain. Your healing.

Our counselors, Danielle, Kris, and Sarah, were honored to be invited to speak on the post-show panel for Next to Normal at the Wharton Institute for the Performing Arts. It was truly unforgettable.

This wasn’t just a musical. It was a mirror, a lifeline, a deep conversation about mental health, grief, and what it means to hold on when everything feels like it’s falling apart.

The cast and crew brought such raw honesty and depth to the stage. Every performance was filled with emotion, presence, and care. It didn’t shy away from the messy or the painful; it walked straight into it and said: You’re not alone.

Thanks to the Kimberly Anne Wilson Foundation, that message didn’t end with the final curtain. The talkback allowed for deep, vulnerable conversations with the honesty and courage we need in mental health spaces.

We are so grateful to the Wharton Institute for the Performing Arts and the for creating something healing and transformative. Kim’s legacy is alive and felt.

As Ram Dass once said, “We are all just walking each other home.” This show repeatedly reminded us of that truth.
