The Eugene Half Marathon is on April 26th!

I'm signed up for a few halfs this year, as well as some shorter races. After the Portland Marathon I really saw the benefit of an actual plan instead of just training on vibes.

I'm still nursing my marathon foot injury and have been focusing heavily on weight lifting (and physical therapy) the past couple months. This is the first week I've done any real mileage since December and I kept it super light and slow.

Baxter was underwhelmed.

If you're looking for a coach to help with your plan, I'll drop a few in the connects, but feel free to tag your favorite!

Some benefits include:

-Releases oxytocin (the bonding hormone)
-Can lower stress and cortisol
-Supports nervous system regulation
-Increases feelings of safety and connection
-Can reduce loneliness and emotional isolation

Other forms of connection count too:
-Hand squeeze
-Sitting close
-Weighted blanket
-Self-hug
-Baxter snuggles

As a reminder,
-Touch is only healing when it’s consensual
-Not everyone experiences hugs as safe or soothing

Care, consent, and choice are what make connection healing.

Baxter was well overdue for a bath.

Normally I do it at home, but I decided to skip having my bathroom covered in fur this go around.

Enter, Cute Cuts Dog Grooming and Self Service Dog Wash

They did a nail grind for us and then I used their self service dog wash station. It was so easy and I was in and out of there on my lunch break with time to spare.

Not only am I really grateful, but all of Baxter's clients will be, too!

Five stars!

‘Kids are so resilient’ is often said to make hard things feel easier.

But many adults living with complex trauma were once those resilient kids.

Let’s stop using resilience to minimize harm—and start asking what people actually need to feel safe, supported, and seen.

If you were a resilient kid, and your old ways of coping aren't serving you, give us a call.

Welcome to Ancora Wellness!

We are located in the heart of downtown Hillsboro, with easy access to Trimet, as well as a dedicated parking lot to make your in-person appointments less stressful. If you've found the building with the pretty mural in the parking lot, you're in the right place.

Our building is designed with trauma-informed care in mind- with welcoming colors, lots of plants, and cozy touches. In our lobby, you'll always find access to water and hot tea. Our restroom is single occupancy and ADA friendly.

Each room has fidgets and weighted blankets to support you during your appointment. Don't like the couch? No problem, you can sit on the floor, swap for a desk chair, or even do a walk-and-talk in the beautiful historic neighborhood.

Our group room is also where art walk happens. The artwork rotates monthly, and we celebrate local creatives on the first Tuesday of every month. We also love hosting community events, classes, and workshops.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., not just by remembering his words, but by recommitting to the work he called us to do.

Dr. King reminded us that injustice is not passive — it is upheld when we stay silent, when we grow numb, when we turn away from the suffering of others. The rise in hate, dehumanization, and attacks on marginalized communities in this country is not separate from his legacy. It is exactly why his work remains unfinished.

Justice is not abstract. It lives in how we treat one another, whose pain we take seriously, and whether we are willing to confront systems that harm rather than protect. It requires courage, discomfort, and a willingness to choose love that is active — love that resists oppression, not excuses it.

At Ancora, we believe healing and justice are deeply connected. We cannot have collective wellness without collective liberation. Today, and every day, we stand against hate and alongside those most impacted by it.

May we move beyond remembrance and into action.

Feature Friday! Kalaya Fisher just opened up her waitlist and is taking on up to three new clients.

In her words: "It’s all about support, empowerment, and encouragement. In our sessions, you’ll discover a welcoming space where you can truly be yourself, unwind, and feel completely at ease."

Kalaya is also the facilitator of Coffee and Clarity, our early morning intention-focused group. As a mom, she greatly values the early morning hours that set the tone for the rest of the day. Coffee and Clarity is a group space for that type of reflection, plus support, skills, and accountability.

Reach out today to be connected to Kalaya for a free consultation.
