This year begins with an invitation to pause, reflect, and begin again.

I’m opening a four-week Seasonal ARC called Begin Again, a somatic reset journey designed to support reorientation from the inside out. This is an intimate, in-studio experience for women, held in a small group setting where movement, breath, journaling, and conversation unfold together.

Each week we will gather for guided somatic movement and breathwork, allowing the body to settle and speak before the mind tries to lead. This journey is supported by The Reset Guide workbook, which we will use for reflection and integration throughout the four weeks.

The ARC begins with the New Moon in Capricorn and closes with the New Moon in Aquarius, just before eclipse season. A natural threshold for resetting patterns, clarifying direction, and listening more deeply.

If something in you is ready to begin again, you’re welcome here.

Details, dates, and registration are available through the link in bio.

Space is intentionally limited.

At the fire.
At the threshold.
At the turning of the light.

Winter Solstice reminds us that even in the deepest dark, something is always being born.

May this solar new year bring you closer to your body, your breath, your truth.
May you feel held by the earth and guided by the light ahead.

Sending blessings outward—to the seen and unseen, to community near and far.
May we walk this next cycle with intention, warmth, and grace. 🔥✨

We’re gathering under the last Super Full Moon of the year — a bright Gemini moon illuminating truth, communication, clarity, and the wisdom that rises when women come together in sacred circle.

This month, we join forces with the incredible Ana Poirier, who will guide us through the cosmic currents of this Full Moon and help each of us explore how these Gemini energies move through our individual astrology.

Join us for an evening of:
🌕 A warm, grounding tea to settle into presence
🌬️ A guided meditation to open the inner channels
✨ An astrology-infused workshop led by Anna to support insight, expression, and release
🤍 Women’s Gathering + shared reflection

Come celebrate the final full illumination of the year — a moment to release what’s complete, speak your truth, and step into the winter season with clarity and connection.

One Year on Foam Street ✨
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since we moved into our new home here on Foam Street — a year of change, growth, trust, and deep gratitude.

When we opened the doors to this space, we carried with us the memories and energy of everything M8 had been — and stepped into what it was becoming. To everyone who moved with us, who trusted the transition, who kept showing up — thank you. You helped us root this new chapter in community, presence, and love.

This past year has been filled with so many moments — laughter between classes, quiet breaths after a session, the scent of herbs and candles, the rhythm of movement, and the soft hum of healing that flows through this place.

We’ve grown not just as a studio, but as a collective experience — a space to feel, to move, to restore, and to connect. Here’s to everyone who has been part of this unfolding journey — and to the continued evolution of M8 as we move forward together.

With love and gratitude,
Stephanie & the M8 Wellness family

New Moon in Leo • Women’s Breathwork Gathering Recap ✨

Last night we gathered under the dark, fertile sky of the Leo New Moon to return to the heart, our boldest truth, and the quiet power of becoming.

We began in circle with an oracle card pull—each woman tuning into the frequency of her inner voice, letting the cards reveal what was ready to be seen. From there, we journaled the soul’s questions:

🌑 What am I ready to release that dims my light?

🌑 What truth is ready to rise and be lived?

These truths became the seeds we breathed life into during our rebirthing breathwork journey—a circular rhythm of release, renewal, and radiant return. We let the breath move what words couldn’t reach, opening the body and heart to a new cycle of becoming.

With grounded hearts, we closed our evening crafting hand-blended bath salts—infused with intention, herbs, essential oils, and the energy of our prayers.

Each woman left carrying not just her salts, but the embodied memory of her lioness heart and the courage to rise in authenticity.

🌿🦁 Thank you to all who came, who breathed, who bloomed. May this moon cycle root your intentions deep and steady. 💛

Tomorrow’s New Moon + Solar Eclipse in Aries marks the final chapter of an eclipse cycle that began two years ago—an invitation to release, reset, and rise.

And just as the sky writes a new story, so can we.

This weekend, Neptune shifts into Aries for the first time in over 200 years. Big cosmic energy calling us to awaken our dreams with courage and clarity.

Self-love is the medicine.
Let this eclipse be a turning point, a soft reset where you choose you—not from ego, but from a soul-level commitment to your light.

Eclipse Weekend Self-Love Rituals:
— Say no to something that drains you
— Say yes to something that scares you
— Take a walk under the stars and whisper a wish
— Let tears fall
— Let laughter rise
— Trust what you’re becoming

Dog kisses, moonlight, and a quiet moment at the studio—heart full of gratitude for this journey.

Here’s to new beginnings.

between eclipses
I walked through the forest
carrying the weight of old stories—
beliefs that never belonged to me,
masks I wore out of habit, not truth.

the breeze whispered
and I listened.

I cried—
not from pain,
but from the release.
from remembering
how much I’ve longed to feel
fully worthy
fully alive
fully loved.

the forest reminded me:
I am.

I am the light
I’ve been searching for.
I am the voice
I used to silence.
I am the soft bloom
after a long winter.

and now,
as the Earth awakens,
so do I.

⸻

a message to my old self
thank you for the protection.
thank you for the survival.
but it’s time to soften.
to open.
to bloom.

I choose light.
I choose love.
I choose a new story. 🌸

Full Moon Reflections—Virgo Eclipse & Mercury Retrograde Begins

The moon was at her fullest last night, illuminating the sky and casting light on what’s ready to be released. This wasn’t just any Full Moon—it was a South Node eclipse in Virgo, stirring deep reflection and a call to clear out the clutter, both internally and externally.

Virgo’s medicine is discernment, embodiment, and purification. Where have we been holding onto perfectionism, overthinking, or outdated habits that no longer serve our growth? Eclipse energy works on a soul level, nudging us to let go, even when we don’t have all the answers.

Now, as Mercury begins its retrograde journey, we’re invited to slow down and listen. Realignment happens in the pause. Healing happens in the space between. The universe is asking us to trust the process.

Luna and I are still soaking in the moon’s wisdom today—letting the lessons land, moving with more presence, and surrendering to what’s next.

What shifts are you noticing in your world?

As we step into March, we are met with the gentle (and sometimes intense) energy of transformation. The Spring Equinox is on the horizon, inviting us to embrace balance, renewal, and the promise of new beginnings. At the same time, the cosmos is guiding us inward with Venus & Mercury Retrograde, and Eclipse Season, asking us to pause, reflect, and realign with what truly matters.

Our gift during this time is perspective, connection and personal power. It is a moment to slow down, breathe, and reassess the patterns, relationships, and choices that shape our lives. It’s an opportunity to cleanse, clear, and plant fresh seeds for the season ahead.

This month, I invite you to lean into self-love, reflection, and mindful renewal with our additional workshops, programs, and classes - come inside our sanctuary, pause, and take a breath.

This month is about coming home to yourself—honoring where you are, letting go of what no longer serves you, and making space for what’s ready to bloom. Be gentle with yourself, trust the timing of your journey, and know that everything is unfolding exactly as it will.

Wishing you a month of clarity, renewal, and deep self-connection.

In the stillness of the forest, I feel the whispers of the unseen. 🌿✨

Tomorrow’s New Moon in Pisces calls for surrender, softness, and trust in the unseen currents. A reminder that not everything needs to be figured out—some things are meant to unfold in their own time.

This moment, this breath, this space between endings and beginnings… it’s enough. The new is already forming.
