Want to improve your wellness, but not sure where to start?
Living a healthier life can seem overwhelming, especially when you’re struggling with chronic health conditions. With all the “rules” and “plans,” it can feel like nothing works specifically for you.
Whether you’re looking to decrease stress, heal from illness, or develop a healthier relationship with food and your body, “expert” advice, whether from your own health care team, books and TV advice or late night Internet searches, can be rigid and paralyzing.

Practical Solutions For You
We’ll develop a lifestyle framework that works for you. Our plans are:
Trauma Informed
Know that you have a safe, private place to explore your options, set goals, and feel deeply heard. We will refer you to the mental health professional of your choice should you need therapy.
Tailored To You
Follow a plan that’s based on how you want to live your life. We’ll make sure your strategy is informed by your style of living and is aligned with your deepest values.
Practical & Achievable
Change in ways that are realistic for you and your family. We’ll account for your culture, background, personality, and factors such as career and stage of life.
In-Depth & Grounded
What’s inside affects your external habits. We’ll look at what moves you and, with your permission, explore ways to change from the inside out, including yoga, mindfulness, and meditation.
