What if movement that feels like play is your ticket to body neutrality and liberation? 🛼🥳🤩

03/12/2026

Okay…Winter was a bit brutal this season so we decided to postpone our group until the Spring! We are starting April 10th!
•
We have the same plan to blend the arts with nature and gentle movement outside, creating a space for processing grief and a sense of community.

We’re wrapping up and I have some thoughts on movement as a walk/run therapist! We are always hearing how great exercise/movement is for us, to the point that people claim it’s their therapy. Yes, movement can have many benefits, similar to therapy and I highlight those in this blog, but it’s not the same as therapy AND it’s only beneficial when you are nourished. Movement is beneficial when it fits in your life without causing physical, mental, or emotional harm. 💪💪
•
Therapists on this side of aisle see how nuanced movement, food, and overall well-being can be. Therapists like me want to help you see how movement can be a coping skill that allows you to live more fully and that this work is intertwined with your relationship with your body, food, and movement. It’s kind of hard to talk about movement or do movement based therapy without talking about your relationship to your body and food, right? 🤔🤔
•
There are wonderful fitness coaches out there who understand disordered eating and the need to carefully approach movement for all bodies. Read my latest blog where I share resources on how to find this type of coach. And shout out to and her work as a fitness coach who really gets it!

If you think you need more help in the disordered eating department, we are here to help!—Maria

When Bad Bunny sings “Debí tirar mas fotos,” which translates to “I should have taken more photos,” we can’t help think about grief, regret, & emotional pain. He goes on to mention physiological sensations, how he is going to cope, and his people who will support him. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 Thank you Bad Bunny for this beautiful piece of art that unites us.
•
Our grief group has just a few spots left! Our art prompts are planned and we are sooo ready! But we want to make sure the word gets out and you don’t miss the opportunity to join us.
•
We know it’s been frigid outside this winter so although this group does take place outdoors on some sessions, we have the opportunity to go inside at the if it is too cold or if there is inclement weather.
•
We start Fri, 2/20 and meet for 8 sessions (every Friday 9-10:30 am). Reach out with any questions! Get more info and register at 🔗 in bio. 🥰

When I’m not doing therapy, I am often with these lovely people doing community things! Yesterday’s cold MLK celebration welcomed community members and feelings of unity. Thank you to for coming out and listening to constituents. We needed this. ♥️

SO excited for this! Starting our first ever grief support group that blends the outdoors and art therapy!
•
Lisa is a super skilled licensed creative art therapist with her own practice. She brings her expertise in grief and art therapy to make this group go beyond a traditional talk therapy group!
•
I bring my experience as a grief and trauma therapist, along with my specialization in movement based therapy outdoors.
•
Fun fact: Lisa and I used to work together at the Alzheimer’s Association! We both bring our humor, life experiences, and utmost appreciation for everyone’s own grieving process. Together we bring you a grief group that can actually be fun, creative, and meaningful. ♥️

Eva is camera shy but Ringo surely loves to pose.
😂

And Bo is cute as ever! 😻

We wish you a holiday that is filled with joy, peace, and rest! If you are carrying mixed emotions, know these emotions can all co-exist. 🌟♥️ 🫂

Evelyn and I are grateful for this great work and looking forward to next year with you! We will be out of office 12/24-1/5. See you in the new year! ☮️❄️

Read about how an intuitive eating approach made my trip to Italy the very best as I reflect on thoughts an older version of me would have had before learning intuitive eating. 🤩🍝🍕🍨
•
While this blog might simplify intuitive eating, finding peace is far from simple. For some people, working hard to achieve a sense of neutrality with food, body, and movement is a daily struggle. If this sounds like something you need support with, check out our website and reach out for a consultation! 🔗 in bio!

The coat drive for the Brewster Rotary Club is back and we’re doing our part to help our community with food items by accepting donations for .cap!
•
Folks have been notified that their SNAP benefits will be delayed in November. Food insecurity largely affects children, seniors, and those who are disabled. Even when SNAP is on time, people supplement with pantries. No one should go without food and proper clothing. Our office in Brewster will have a box for your food items and/or space for coats and we will handle the delivery! Let’s come together for our community!
•
You can check out Putnam CAP’s site for more info on their holiday program and services.
