Stress isn’t just in your mind—it lives in your body, showing up as tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, or chronic tension. Inspired by The Body Keeps the Score and practices like myofascial unwinding, this blog explores how stress gets stored in the body, why it matters, and how mindful movement can help you release it.

STRONG is a Pilates-inspired class that builds mobility, agility, and stability through mindful, controlled movement. Using resistance bands, Pilates balls, and myofascial stretching, this class strengthens deep stabilizing muscles for better balance and posture—without heavy weights or high impact. Move with intention and leave feeling strong, steady, and energized.

Some experiences leave a mark that talking alone can’t erase. They sit heavy, showing up as stress, anxiety, or that nagging sense of “I should be over this by now.” EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) offers a different way through—without reliving every detail or getting stuck in the pain. It’s about helping your brain untangle what it’s been holding onto, so you can finally feel lighter, clearer, and ready to move forward.

Because healing isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about making space to feel whole again.
