Break Room Therapy

02/21/2026

A lot of our guests don’t come in angry. They come in tired. Come let go with us and see if your sleep, rest and minds peace improve.

Holding everything in doesn’t make it go away.
It just teaches your body to carry it longer.
Tension shows up in shoulders, jaws, headaches, exhaustion.
Release isn’t indulgent — it’s preventative.
Your body keeps receipts.

What’s more exhausting right now:
your job, your family, or pretending you’re fine?

Anger isn’t the problem.
Suppressing it is.
Let us help be the fix by giving you space to let go!

If you’ve been ‘holding it together’ for years… your body remembers. Come let go physically with us and find that emotional release your body is craving!

Holding It Together

Some of us were taught early that staying quiet kept us safe.
That being “the strong one” meant not needing anything.
That feelings were something to manage privately… or not at all.

So as adults, we hold it together.
At work. At home. For our kids. For our partners.
Until our body starts carrying what our mouth never got to say.

If releasing emotion feels scary, you’re not broken.
You’re responding exactly how someone learns to survive.

Break Room Therapy isn’t about rage.
It’s about permission — to exhale, to take up space, to let your nervous system stand down for a moment.

If you’ve been holding it together for everyone else,
this weekend has room for you too

If you grew up having to stay quiet to stay safe…
releasing emotion as an adult can feel terrifying.

Not because you don’t want to feel —
but because your body learned, early on, that feeling came with consequences.

So you learned to swallow words.
To keep your face neutral.
To make yourself smaller, quieter, easier to manage.

And even now — years later — when you’re technically safe,
your nervous system doesn’t always believe it.

That’s why letting go can feel scary.
Why crying feels embarrassing.
Why anger feels dangerous.
Why even joy can feel like something you’re waiting to be punished for.

There is nothing wrong with you for that.

That fear isn’t weakness.
It’s survival memory.

Healing doesn’t mean forcing yourself to “just let it out.”
Sometimes healing starts with being allowed to release at your own pace,
in a space where nothing bad happens when you finally do.

If emotion feels heavy, if release feels unfamiliar, if silence once kept you safe —
you are not broken.

You adapted.
And you’re allowed to learn something new now.

Tell me you’re overwhelmed without telling me you’re overwhelmed 😅

You don't have to be perfect to be enough. Some of us weren’t taught how to feel. We were taught how to survive. And if all you did today was survive that's good enough!

🖤 Black History Month | Local Leaders Spotlight 🖤

Today we honor Paul I. Phillips, a trailblazer whose leadership helped reshape Grand Rapids and expand opportunity for generations to come.

Paul I. Phillips made history as the first Black city manager of Grand Rapids, breaking barriers in local government at a time when representation was far from guaranteed. His work focused on fairness, accountability, and building systems that served all members of the community—not just a few.

Beyond titles, Paul I. Phillips was known for his integrity, vision, and commitment to progress. He showed what leadership can look like when it is rooted in service rather than power, and when courage is paired with responsibility.

His legacy reminds us that representation matters—not as symbolism, but because real change happens when decision-makers reflect the communities they serve.

Black history is not distant.
It lives in our cities, our systems, and our shared future.
And it deserves to be honored—today and always.

🖤

Valentine’s Day isn’t just flowers and dinners.
Sometimes it looks like choosing relief.

This weekend, we hosted 118 sessions — and while our bodies are tired, our hearts are overflowing.

Watching each reservation come through the door, seeing the smiles, the release, the “that felt amazing” moments… that’s the kind of love that keeps us going.

Thank you for spending your Valentine’s weekend with us and for reminding us, again, why this work matters so much. Thank you for trusting us with your time, your emotions, and your stories.
We don’t take that lightly — ever.
