Every step matters.
Wellness doesn’t have to be all or nothing. It’s about choosing one good thing, one moment at a time. A deep breath. A glass of water. A short walk. A little more rest.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, start small. We’ll meet you right there.

🚨 Travel Update for Manette Clinic Patients 🚨 If your route includes Perry Avenue or the Hood Canal Bridge, please read this:

Perry Avenue NE will be partially closed Mon–Thurs, 7am–6pm starting May 12 for infrastructure work. Expect detours near Stone Way and Sheridan.

Hood Canal Bridge delays are also frequent this month.
