Toad Wellness

09/04/2025

First up, my parent-child class "Blooming Together" that my 7-year-old Fiona and I will be co-leading! This class is designed for elementary aged kids and one of their caregivers.

This class has two different options: Thursday evenings or Saturday mornings. You can attend a class sporadically as a drop-in, or you can attend the group weekly. The weekly activities will be the same on these two days so you can sign up for every Thursday or if you have plans on a particular Thursday, you can sign up for Saturday that week and vice versa.

Space is limited, so I am starting with six openings (3 on each day). If you know you would like to come regularly, you may hold your spot by registering with a monthly payment (which also decreases the price per class). I know how life can be when you're trying to manage schedules for multiple family members, so I tried to make this offering as flexible and affordable as possible.

If you are seriously interested, but these days and times do not work for you, let me know. If there are others who would like a different day as well, I am open to adding days!

September Dates:
Thursdays- 9/11, 9/18, 9/25
Saturdays- 9/13, 9/20, 9/27
October Dates:
Thursdays- 10/2, 10/9, 10/16, 10/23, 10/30
Saturdays- 10/4, 10/11, 10/18, 10/25

Hi everyone! Happy September :) I've been on a posting hiatus, I did some soul-searching to reignite my passion, and I've created my new offerings 🥳 I will be sharing them over the next couple days. These are groups I have been dreaming up over a few years and I feel ready to offer them in the way I always imagined. Small groups, at my home in Rochester. In my space, with all the materials and items I need. No more having to cart my stuff back and forth. I had to give myself the peptalk that people offer services out of their homes all the time: yoga, massages, reiki, photography etc. So why not me?? All businesses have to start somewhere, and since I have yet to find the perfect space for my offerings, I'm starting at home and when Toad Wellness grows to be the empire I envision it to be, you can say you were with me when I had groups in my house 😄

These offerings are not traditional "therapy." These groups reflect the different professional hats I've worn and the many passions I have when it comes to wellness. I've combined my mental health education (MA in clinical mental health counseling) with my background in early childhood/family education with my creative nature to offer something truly unique. In my groups, we will create, move, meditate, breathe, write, listen and share. Every class will be different as groups tend to take on a life of their own and I tailor the experience to group interests and needs. I also am available for individual sessions as well. Which I am VERY excited about. I have created the coziest healing sanctuary for you to use.

I’ve realized I’m way too ADHD and I have way too many kids to keep up with all these platforms.
I’m more active on IG for ToadWellness stuff if you’re interested 🌙

Aside from dance/movement therapy, my other passion is creating meaningful experiences for adolescents that support mental health and encourage connection and creativity. That being said, I'm SO EXCITED to share a special one-day workshop for upper elementary and middle school students.

We will watch the popular Netflix movie: K-Pop Demon Hunters and use the movie as a guide to generate discussion related to self-acceptance, friendship and overcoming challenges.

Participants may bring bracelet-making materials if they would like to make bracelets during the movie. Other items they may bring include: a blanket and/or a favorite plushie, a nut-free snack and water to drink.

Space is limited. If you have a group that would be interested, but the date does not work for you, please message me and we can find another day/time that works. I want to share this with as many as possible 🥰

"Back to School" discounts on all my offerings for the rest of August! Gotta fund the Hot Topic shopping trip lol

This is a common time of year to be feeling soo many different things. Dance, movement, talking or writing about it are all helpful ways to express what's rolling around in that head of yours. Let me help you process it all.

Message me if you are interested in any of these and we can find a day and time that works for both of us!

Therapy comes in many forms ❤️

If you need some kitten therapy, Rosie’s Kitty Catfé has you covered! 🐈🐈‍⬛

If you haven’t been in our kitten room yet, you really should.

It’s such a wonderful experience.

Being smothered by purring kittens in your neck and lap is really the best therapy.

During last night’s class, I played “mama I’m coming home” to honor the man, Ozzy Osbourne. I sometimes like to share why I picked a song, so I made the comment that hearing Ozzy always reminds me of riding around in the backseat of the car as a child, just looking out the window…such a nostalgic childhood feeling…90s kids know exactly what I’m talking about.

Then someone else commented that it reminds her of her parents too. She remembered being at gatherings with her parents and that music being the soundtrack to those memories.

Music is such a powerful conduit for emotional experiences. Whether a song makes you feel nostalgic, ecstatic, hopeful or depressed, these are all emotions that want to be embodied and moved through. A private session with me includes your choice of songs that hold special meanings to you, so we can help the body express what the heart feels ❤️

Grateful for clients that are willing to lean in and free themselves through dance and movement 💫
