Her first session wasn’t overwhelming.

It was grounding.

And immediately useful.

Carrie didn’t leave with abstract concepts.

She left with practices she could actually use in her daily life.

Simple tools to downshift when stress showed up.

Breathing strategies she could apply at work, at home, in real moments.

Not just during sessions.

For the first time, she also understood how her lungs actually work.

How breath mechanics affect her nervous system.

Why certain breathing patterns made her more anxious.

And how small changes created calm.

That knowledge alone was regulating.

Because when your body makes sense, it stops feeling unpredictable.

Her first session gave her something powerful.

Not just relief.

But understanding.

And tools she could carry with her long after she walked out the door.

Did you get your 4 hugs today?

National Hugging Day is a holiday created to encourage hugs and physical connection - consensually -between people. It started in 1986 in Michigan and now spreads around the world.

A hug of 20 seconds can trigger feel-good biochemical responses in your body. Many people believe 4 hugs/day for survival, 8 for maintenance, 12 for growth (therapist guideline)

✔ Hug your partner
✔ Hug a friend
✔ Share a consensual hug with someone who needs it
✔ If someone isn’t comfortable, send a virtual hug! 🤗

(Always ask first — not everyone likes touch)

Today is a reminder: Connection heals. 🫂
Just like cold exposure and breathwork help regulate your nervous system — hugs help regulate your heart and mind.

Tag someone who deserves a hug today 💛

If talk therapy has helped, but you still feel stuck…

Or you want faster progress by working with body-based techniques, not just the mind.

On Sunday, February 8, we’re hosting Tools Beyond Therapy, a two-hour in-person workshop exploring how EMDR, breathwork, and cold exposure support nervous system regulation, resilience, and real-world change.

This isn’t therapy and it isn’t about pushing yourself. It’s education and guided practice for people who want more capacity, more choice, and more momentum in their mental health work.

You’ll learn:

• How EMDR supports nervous system regulation and adaptive response

• Breathwork techniques you can use immediately to quiet anxiety and improve focus

• How intentional cold exposure can build confidence, resilience, and energy

📍 Needham, MA
🗓 Sunday, Feb 8 | 9:30–11:30 AM
🎟 $50 | Limited to 25 people
FIRST 10 tickets 20% off!

Comment EMDR and we’ll send you the event link.

Patience wasn’t something Joe forced.

It was something his body learned.

And that changed everything.

Since starting here, Joe notices the difference daily.

More patience with people.

More space to pause.

Less urgency in his body.

The biggest shift is that he knows what to do when tension rises.

He uses his breathing techniques throughout the day.

Before meetings.

During stressful moments.

Anytime his nervous system starts to ramp up.

That’s the power of this work.

You’re not calm only in a session.

You’re regulated because you have tools you can access anywhere.

For Joe, patience isn’t a personality trait anymore.

It’s a practiced skill.

Safety isn’t a mindset.

It’s a felt experience.

And that’s what Carrie found here.

Carrie recommends this work to anyone who doesn’t feel at home in their body.

Anyone who lives on edge without knowing why.

Anyone who is calm on the outside but constantly bracing on the inside.

She talks about safety not as something you think your way into,

but something you practice.

Through breath.

Through guided cold exposure.

Through learning how your nervous system actually works.

What shifted for her wasn’t just stress levels.

It was a sense of calm she could access on demand.

A body that no longer felt like a threat.

A baseline that finally felt steady.

If you’re looking for a way to feel grounded, regulated, and safe in your own skin,

this is who Carrie would send you to.

January tells you to push harder.

Discipline more.

Fix everything now.

But if your nervous system is still living in stress, burnout, or survival mode, even the best goals will fall apart.

This is why so many resolutions fail.

Your nervous system sets the tone for your habits, your sleep, your focus, and your follow-through. When it feels unsafe, your body resists change no matter how badly you want it.

A true nervous system reset isn’t about forcing calm.

It’s about building the capacity for it.

Breathwork slows your physiology and teaches your body that it’s okay to soften.

Cold exposure trains you to stay present and regulated under stress instead of bracing or checking out.

Regulation comes before motivation.

Always.

When your nervous system is supported, habits stick.

Energy returns.

Anxiety loosens its grip.

And stress stops running the show.

This is the foundation we teach in our next workshop. Comment “2026” and we’ll send you the registration link!

We’ve had an incredible year building this community!

From the 3 people who attended our first workshop of 2025 (you know who you are and we love you) to working with over 100 1:1 clients, we’ve enjoyed every breath we’ve taken with each of you.

This year’s growth wouldn’t be possible without a village; thank you to every person who’s played a part in expanding our mission of teaching nervous system regulation as a life skill!

Since there’s no walk off music, here’s our thank you speech to each of you (and if we missed your name please let us know, it was not intentional!)
