Spring is calling… and we’re ready.
This morning greeted us with soft fog and quiet snow, a gentle reminder of how deeply nature holds us—even in stillness. And yet, beneath the hush of winter, our vision for spring at Gathered Oaks is already bright and unmistakably alive.

As the seasons shift, we’re preparing a retreat designed for exactly what your spirit has been craving:
✨ Renewal that feels like a long exhale
✨ Healing that unfolds with tenderness and choice
✨ Thriving in the presence of nature’s tranquil beauty

From serene mornings to spacious reflection, from nourishing practices to community that feels like home—this spring retreat is an invitation to return to yourself.

The fog may linger today, but the path ahead is clear.
Join us at Gathered Oaks for a season of renewal, healing, and wholehearted thriving.

Reserve your spot by February 5, 2026 — spaces are limited.

As 2025 comes to a close, I’m taking a moment to honor the growth, healing, and connection that unfolded through Do Balanced Wellness this year. As a woman‑owned, single‑practitioner business, every session, every retreat, and every training is personal to me. It’s been a privilege to support so many individuals, teams, and groups in their wellness journeys.

🌿 Individual Wellness & Personal Training

Thank you to every client who entrusted me with your care this year. Together, we worked toward pain relief, restored movement, and stronger, more confident bodies. Your dedication to your own healing continues to inspire my work.

💪 Fitness Training & Group Movement

My group fitness community brought so much energy and heart into the studio. Whether you joined for strength training, mobility, or mindful movement, your presence created spaces where movement felt empowering, accessible, and genuinely enjoyable.

🌸 Women’s Retreats

Hosting several women’s retreats this year was one of the deepest honors of my work. Each gathering held its own blend of courage, softness, laughter, and renewal. Thank you for showing up for yourselves and for one another. Your willingness to pause and reconnect shaped experiences I’ll carry forward.

🏢 Workplace Wellness & Professional Development

I also expanded my workplace wellness offerings, partnering with organizations committed to building healthier, more compassionate work cultures. Facilitating trauma‑informed trainings and development experiences allowed me to support teams in meaningful, sustainable ways.

💛 Gratitude

Whether you stepped into a single session or journeyed with me throughout the year, your presence mattered. You helped shape a community grounded in choice, safety, and whole‑person wellness. I’m grateful for every story shared, every breakthrough moment, and every step forward.

🌟 Looking Ahead to 2026

I’m entering the new year with renewed purpose:
to continue offering trauma‑informed, accessible, elevated wellness experiences that meet you exactly where you are.

Thank you for being part of Do Balanced Wellness.
Here’s to more movement, more healing, and more connection in 2026.

With gratitude,
Deanna

🎄✨🎄What a night 🎄✨🎄

Our Christmas Fitmas Evening was the perfect mix of movement, laughter, and holiday fun. We brought the energy with bungees, boxing, and a strength circuit inspired by the jolliest parts of the season — think reindeer power, elf agility, and a dash of North Pole cheer woven into every station.

And because wellness is always more fun when shared, we added a festive twist: red and green juice shots crafted by my friend and collaborating partner, Jami of Just Juice. They were bright, delicious, and the perfect boost to keep everyone glowing through the night.

From the music to the movement to the moments of connection, the whole evening felt like a celebration of community, joy, and taking care of ourselves together.

Here’s to more nights that fill the body with strength and the heart with light. ❤️💚✨

Thank you to this group for bringing the energy and bettering their best…we are better together 💙
