They told us to keep it cute… sip our tea… and stay quiet.

This isn’t just a tea party.
This is where the tea gets spilled; on self-love, burnout, hormones, perimenopause, menopause, and all the things women are too often expected to figure out alone.

Join us for a Bridgerton-inspired Women’s Wellness Day designed to feel as beautiful as it is real. Think brunch, tea, matcha, self-care stations, and conversations that actually matter. And of course, photobooth fun! 😉

We’re also bringing in Kimberly Newman, The O! Coach, to guide powerful discussions on hormonal and sexual health because understanding your body shouldn’t feel confusing or shameful.

✨ Safe space.
✨ Real conversations.
✨ Soft luxury meets deep healing.

📍 The Splash Project, Hartford, CT
📅 May 2, 2026 | 11AM–4PM

Come sip… and spill. ☕✨
Your seat at the table is waiting.

Sisters & Shas chat about the incredible moments from our International Women's Day Selfcare Retreat event a month ago! Can't believe its already been a month!

Attendees felt safe, seen, and heard, embracing their identities beyond traditional roles. Those messages coming in afterwards was all the reassurance we needed that this was a need for others as much as it was for us as well.

If you couldn't attend the women's day retreat in March? No worries! Join us in celebrating self-love, connection and the powerful space of women learning from other women at our Bridgerton Brunch on May 2nd, 2026!

Last night was pure magic!

In collaboration with Ty from Café Con Flow, we were able to create an evening focused on an empowering mindful movement journey. From R&B inspired yoga, a soothing sound bath, to a joyous and free-spirited ladies' dance night. We released tension, laughed a ton, honored our bodies, and let the whimsy of dance carry us. Who doesn't love dancing with sparkly lights and fairy wands?! Grateful for the sisterhood that blossomed last night!

Catch you at the next Respira & Vibe Dance night!

Women Wellness Wednesday!

In our busy lives, it's easy to forget about our own needs. These five simple practices-like creating art or taking a nature walk-are essential for fostering self-love and care amidst the chaos. Every step you take towards your well-being counts!

Reminder: Next Women Wellness Wednesday session on April 1st!

What’s your favorite way to practice self-care? Share in the comments! Save this post and remind yourself to take a little time for yourself today. You deserve it!

"And when you get the choice, to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance..." Millennials, remember that "I Hope You Dance" song by Lee Ann Womack song? These lyrics hit differently the older we get and the tougher life feels at times, doesn't it? We often forget we don't only need a celebratory reason to embrace dancing. But, that dance can be a beautifully empowering way to get through life's challenges as well.

At Respira Counseling & Wellness, we know that movement is more than just physical; it's embracing the rhythm that life brings your way and being intentional with allowing it to move you. Be it a symbolic representation of refusing to stay stagnant in whatever stage you're in or it being regulating to the nervous system, or both! In either case, we hope you dance. But, you also don't have to do it alone.

Our next Respira & Vibe: Ladies Dance Night event is scheduled next Thursday, March 26th, 2026 at 6pm-8pm at Vibes with Shyy Studio 56 Arbor St 4th Floor Ste 412, Hartford, CT!

Sometimes we have to pause and take a deep breath because moments like this feel a little surreal. 🥰

To see our small, sibling-led wellness business being highlighted and recognized is both validating and deeply emotional for us. What many people don’t know is that the vision for this space has been in our hearts for over 10 years, ever since the passing of our mothers. In many ways, the seeds for this work were planted in that season of grief. For years it lived as a dream, conversations between siblings about creating something meaningful for our community.

Now, only 2 years into bringing that vision to life, we’re already witnessing the kind of impact we once only imagined. To hear that our mission is resonating with others the way we always hoped it would is something we don’t take lightly.

This work is personal. It’s rooted in family, culture, community, and a deep belief that women deserve spaces where they can be seen, heard, and supported on their journey back to themselves.

To everyone who has attended an event, shared our posts, trusted us with your stories, or simply cheered us on, thank you for believing in this dream with us. Once again, thank you to and
for shining a light on the work we are doing.

❤️If you’re a woman looking for connection, healing, movement, and community, we invite you to be part of this journey.

Follow and grow with us. This movement is only just beginning. 🤍
