Talk therapy gives your story a voice... but holistic practices help your whole self join the conversation ❤️

While traditional therapy offers powerful insight and understanding, pairing it with holistic practices can deepen healing on every level. Practices like breathwork, mindfulness, yoga, meditation, journaling, and even grounding techniques support the mind–body connection, regulate the nervous system, and create space for processing emotions in new ways. 🌿

When combined with talk therapy, these practices don’t replace the conversation, they expand it. They give you tools to reconnect with your body, release stored tension, and find balance beyond words.

Cooler days are (nearly) in the air!

Hey everyone, it’s Rochelle! If you’ve followed my posts on our page, you may have noticed I love the fall. Without a doubt, it’s my favorite season. I always look forward to all the holidays that I have meticulously planned for since December 26th of the previous year (don’t judge).

The cooler air reminds me I can finally breathe outside again (literally and metaphorically) and enjoy spending time with my family in nature. One of my favorite things to do is go on a little picnic with my husband. It’s such a lovely way to connect with each other and our environment.

There’s nothing like a cool breeze and listening to the birds sing-songs. As the summer comes to an end and Autumn gently approaches, I hope you’re able to find ways to connect with yourself, the ones you love, and with the world around you. -Rochelle

What’s one way you’re creating connections this autumn?

Are you a people pleaser without even realizing it?🧐  People pleasing often looks like being the “nice one” or the “helpful one,” but underneath it can feel draining. Signs include: difficulty saying no, over-apologizing, avoiding conflict at all costs, putting others’ needs above your own, feeling guilty when you set boundaries, or needing constant reassurance that you’re “good enough.”  Caring for others is beautiful, but not when it costs you your peace, your energy, or your authenticity. True kindness includes kindness toward yourself. 💛  Start noticing when you say “yes” out of guilt instead of desire. Practice setting small boundaries today, you deserve to take up space too.

Just a girl in the forest, admiring the flowers and finding peace in the trees🌸🌳

Here’s a message from our founder and CEO, Jamie:  “I can’t emphasize enough the power of forest bathing for mental health. Taking intentional time to unplug from the modern world, observe patterns in nature, and feel into the silence is hugely beneficial for grounding and calming your nervous system. It helps us reconnect with the world around us, helps us recognize that we are part of a bigger system. I believe it is important to celebrate and honor nature, to humble ourselves and surrender to the power and spirit of Mother Earth and our connection to her.”

Your body remembers what your mind forgets 🧠

When it comes to trauma, healing isn’t always just about talking it out, sometimes it’s also about feeling it out. Somatic therapy is a gentle yet powerful way to reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and release what has been stored deep within. Through practices like grounding, pendulation, and titration, you can begin to find calm, safety, and balance again. 🌿

Healing doesn’t mean erasing your story, it means learning how to live fully with it, without being ruled by past wounds. Somatic therapy offers a compassionate path forward, one step (and one breath) at a time. 💛

Hi all, Jessi here!
Sailing through summer one sweet bite at a time 🍉⛵️ Salt in the air, sun on my skin, and watermelon in hand…this is presence!

Today is National Mindfulness Day, a reminder that mindfulness isn’t just about meditation cushions, it’s also in the moments we taste, feel, and breathe in deeply.

Here’s to joy, simplicity, and being fully here. 🌊💛

✨ Take a moment today to pause, savor something sweet, and ask yourself: What does being present feel like right now?

The Life of a Healing Human 🧡🫶🏼

Protecting your energy is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself. It can feel a little tricky and uncomfortable at first, but after some practice, it truly starts to feel second nature. What does protecting your energy mean though? It means:

🧡 Saying “No.” (you should’ve said no)
🧡 Creating Boundaries (we are never getting back together)
🧡 Limiting Screen Time (with no one around to tweet it)
🧡 Seeking Support (it’s nice to have a friend)
🧡 Practicing Self-Care (take the moment and taste it)

Any and all of these are acceptable ways to protect your energy!

Comment below! How are you protecting your energy this week?

Taking care of the body is taking care of the mind! 🧠💙

Here’s a message from one of our therapist, Nicole:

“It’s summer and getting hot here in Florida. While you’re out and about exploring all the beautiful nature spots either locally or throughout the US, ensure you’re staying properly hydrated.

Dehydration is sneaky! But can significantly impact mental health, leading to issues like impaired cognitive function, mood issues and in some cases, increased anxiety. Even mild dehydration can affect focus, memory and reaction time.

Get out there and enjoy those summer vibes! But don’t forget your water bottle 💧” - Nicole

✨ What’s your favorite way to stay hydrated during the summer? Share your tips in the comments so we can all beat the heat together!
