A curated journey into next-generation well-being.

On March 30, START UP WELLNESS hosted a transformative Day of Wellness,an immersive, soul-aligning experience designed for professionals in the recovery and mental health space who work tirelessly in service of others.

Guests explored a powerful blend of innovation and intention: a biohacking circuit with PEMF therapy, red light, the SomaDome, and bioresonance scans,alongside holistic experiences including EFT tapping, grounding group work, acupuncture, and a deeply restorative sound bath.

Each element was crafted to restore vitality, clarity, and connection…for those who give so much, and rarely pause to receive.

Thank you to our community for showing up with presence, purpose, and heart.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Thank you for the incredible outpouring of phone calls, text messages, emails and overall love and support.

As many of you know, the recent fire has devastated our community. We have sustained significant losses like many others, including the complete destruction of one of our START UP RECOVERY Pacific Palisades houses and severe damage to another, forcing us to discontinue operations in the area.

This loss is deeply felt by all of us and the clients who found hope and healing within those walls.

Despite this immense challenge, 
we want to assure you that our commitment to our mission remains steadfast. Our two properties in Santa Monica and our state-of-the-art Wellness Center are open for business and ready to serve. These spaces represent the resilience of our organization and the unwavering support we provide to those seeking a new path.

Additionally, we are actively searching for a new flagship property to continue expanding and enhancing the vision of START UP RECOVERY.

This is not just about rebuilding structures; it is about reaffirming our dedication to transforming lives. Together, we will rise up, stronger and more determined than ever, to continue making a meaningful impact.

Thank you for your strength, dedication, and compassion as we navigate this time of rebuilding and renewal. Let’s remain focused on our purpose and lean on one another as we move forward.

With gratitude and resolve,

Jeff, Gregg, and Patricia

Today, I proudly celebrate 30 years of sobriety – ### 🎂

In these three decades, I’ve learned that "We don't have Bad Days; We have a Bad Two Hours." It’s all about perspective, realizing that difficult moments will pass, and I have access to an incredible playbook for life. One word that has guided me through this journey is "Slow-Briety." It reminds me to take it SLOW, One Day at A Time and to remain "Willing to be Willing,"—teachable to outside modalities, wisdom, ideas, routines and healers. 🦸

Being a "Sober Girl Dad" is truly the best job in town. My daughters' joy, laughter, and engagement fuel my commitment to staying sober and present for them. “Marriage is not for pu**ies,” and that doing the work is well worth it, especially with the right person. I was taught it’s essential to always “Suit Up & Show Up" for the people no matter what the situation is.👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

I've realized that "Good People know Good People." Surrounding myself with "Amazing Humans" has been key to my success. Plus, I learned to "Unpack the Backpack of Shame," letting go of what no longer serves me and move my story forward not backward.🏃‍♂️

It really comes down to this: "Don't Drink or Use No Matter What. Go to Meetings. And Grow the F up! " My journey has been consistent, starting with “Sobriety” then moving into “Recovery” and now I’m working on the “Wellness” phase of my life. 🥷

To anyone still fighting that internal battle: there’s lots of HOPE! I believe “Everyone is Recovering from Something,” please know you’re never alone. No matter what your issue is… Just do one simple thing… Raise your hand and ask for help. 🙋‍♂️
