North Star Wellness Center

North Star Wellness Center North Star Wellness Center offers mental health counseling for individuals, couples and families. Often, our suffering comes from avoiding suffering.

The North Star is a guide - a fixed point that provides direction even when the world around it is spinning. At North Star, we believe that it is possible to find peace and be content even in difficult times. But when we can hold pain gently and allow ourselves to be vulnerable, our problems can pass with more ease and we can grow more authentically - we become wiser and more connected to others. Strength isn't the absence of vulnerability or fear. Happiness isn't the absence of sadness. Safety isn't the absence of threat. Our peace can come from knowing how to be vulnerable, how to express sadness, how to navigate threat. As long as there have been humans, there has been trauma. And there has been healing from trauma. At North Star, we trust the innate wisdom of our bodies to heal - we often just help people get their brain on board with the intuitive and natural process of healing. We want to help people find their own ground and create their own path. We can't keep the world from spinning, and we can't change what's already happened. But, as service providers, we know that sometimes places that are supposed to be safe can sometimes cause harm instead. We are committed to safety. We want to heal trauma, not cause it. We honor the opportunity to serve, and, therefore, are actively grounded in our guiding principles.

There are magnificent benefits to dancing and we wanted to share some with you!!! (Straight out of the Mental Health Association in Delaware)

Here are some benefits of Dancing 🤩🥳👠👞🎼🎧🪘🎻🥁🪩

Mood: Dance releases endorphins, a naturally occurring “feel-good” chemical in our brain that increase feelings of pleasure and decrease pain. Endorphins help reduce depression, anxiety, and improve your self-esteem!

Community: Social interaction is incredibly important for mental health, and with dance you are always meeting new people. Meeting and socializing with people with a common interest helps foster connection and a sense of belonging!

Reduces stress: Raven Gibbs, a mental health professional and dancer, says, “As dance raises your heart rate and works your body, it also releases certain chemicals in the brain. It reduces cortisol, the natural stress hormone or what is more commonly known as the fight or flight hormone. Cortisol, in excess, can lead to high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, and other health problems.” – Blochworld!

Memory and Cognitive Function: It gets harder to remember certain daily details as we age, and learning new things, such as names of dance moves, can help keep our brain sharp and nimble. In a 2017 study done by Burzynska et al, they recruited older adults to walk, stretch, or country line dancing 3 days a week for 3 months. The group who learned to dance had greater density in the white matter of their brains (the part that processes memory) than those in the other groups. !
