SO excited for this! Starting our first ever grief support group that blends the outdoors and art therapy!

Lisa is a super skilled licensed creative art therapist with her own practice. She brings her expertise in grief and art therapy to make this group go beyond a traditional talk therapy group!

I bring my experience as a grief and trauma therapist, along with my specialization in movement based therapy outdoors.

Fun fact: Lisa and I used to work together at the Alzheimer’s Association! We both bring our humor, life experiences, and utmost appreciation for everyone’s own grieving process. Together we bring you a grief group that can actually be fun, creative, and meaningful. ♥️

Read about how an intuitive eating approach made my trip to Italy the very best as I reflect on thoughts an older version of me would have had before learning intuitive eating. 🤩🍝🍕🍨

While this blog might simplify intuitive eating, finding peace is far from simple. For some people, working hard to achieve a sense of neutrality with food, body, and movement is a daily struggle. If this sounds like something you need support with, check out our website and reach out for a consultation! 🔗 in bio!

The coat drive for the Brewster Rotary Club is back and we’re doing our part to help our community with food items by accepting donations for .cap!

Folks have been notified that their SNAP benefits will be delayed in November. Food insecurity largely affects children, seniors, and those who are disabled. Even when SNAP is on time, people supplement with pantries. No one should go without food and proper clothing. Our office in Brewster will have a box for your food items and/or space for coats and we will handle the delivery! Let’s come together for our community!

You can check out Putnam CAP’s site for more info on their holiday program and services.

It’s weight stigma awareness week! You’ll see us using the term “fat” as a neutral term here, not as something negative! ✊

Let’s critically think 🤔 Is it being fat or is it being oppressed and mistreated that leads to a correlation of having health problems when living in a larger body? When will our systems give up stigmatizing weight and realize that it can actually make people sicker? 🤯

📣 Health at Every Size®️does not ignore research-it is an approach to health that is more compassionate, ethical, culturally competent, and inclusive.

This info is shared from the Association for Size Diversity and Health (ASDAH) website for educational purposes. Check out for more info! 🤩

And reach out if you need weight inclusive care with someone who gets it and will help you advocate for yourself! 🥰👏

The news has been A LOT. Seeing Epstein’s birthday book when you open your phone can be enough to send you, even if you’re not a survivor. It is easy to get caught up with wanting to take down politicians and the wealthy and we want that too, but let’s not forget that the release of this list is demanded by the survivors and it is about them. ✊🫶

Time after time we watch injustices happen to survivors. It’s a cycle of violence against women (and men)-and in this case girls-that we can’t escape. And every time, we are ready for you-to hold your pain, sit with your rage, scream with you, and work through it. Enough is enough.♥️🫂

So please turn off social media, get outside, use gentle movement, music, a good book, friends, or reach out for resources or therapy. We got you! 🥰🥰

I am opening doors for more eating disorder treatment for adults. A huge part of being a therapist is knowing yourself, your strengths, and what your calling is. I am sending a huge thank you to the for guidance on this work over the years and helping me feel ready to help more people as this mental health crisis grows.

As always, I am wanting a better world for all bodies. This recent blog captures a glimpse of how I got here.~Maria♥️
