World Health Day is often focused on physical health, but mental and emotional health are just as important.

Your thoughts, stress levels, sleep, and emotional well-being all play a role in your overall health.

Taking care of your mental health is not separate from taking care of your body. It is part of the same system.

Hi, I’m Briana 🤍

A lot of the work I do centers around trauma, family dynamics, depression, and anxiety, and I care deeply about helping people move through what they’ve been through… not just sit in it.

My path into this work is personal, and it’s a big part of why I believe so strongly that change is possible, even when it doesn’t feel like it yet.

I think a lot about how hard it can be to explain what you’re feeling… especially when it’s layered, confusing, or tied to things that go way back.

You don’t always need the perfect words to start understanding yourself better.

And I’ll be honest… I really do get excited for first sessions. To me, it means there’s a way through, even if it doesn’t feel clear yet.

“That rejected feeling”…
calling again 📞

And it’s kind of weird how it shows up.

This time it looked like a text.
Or maybe just… a pause.
A tone that felt a little off.

And it hit fast.

We’ve noticed there are moments where
we know it’s not just what happened…
but it still feels like a lot.

Like something in us is reacting
before we can even explain why.

When that happens, we usually come back to this:
Before we try to fix the reaction…
we try to understand it.

Sometimes that looks like:
• Noticing what actually felt off (the pause, the tone, the silence)
• Paying attention to where you feel it in your body
• Asking, “What does this remind me of?” instead of “What’s wrong with me?”

Because a lot of reactions don’t start where they show up.

So instead of,
“Why did that bother me so much?”
Maybe it’s,
“What about that felt familiar?”

👉 “I keep noticing small things affect me more than I expect.”

Let’s unpack that.

book check-in 📚
this one has a way of making you pause mid-thought
not in a loud way

but in the kind of way where you catch yourself
and realize how quickly your mind filled in a story

if you’ve started Are You Mad At Me?…
what part felt a little too familiar?

some experiences don’t get talked about enough

today, on transgender day of visibility, we want to acknowledge something that often goes unseen

transgender individuals face significantly higher rates of violence, including sexual violence and assault.

and while statistics can help us understand the scope, they never fully capture what that experience actually feels like
visibility matters

but safety, protection, and access to affirming care matter just as much

this is a reminder that support goes beyond words
it looks like listening, learning, advocating, and creating spaces where people feel safe enough to be fully themselves
if this is part of your story, you are not alone

you deserve care that sees you, respects you, and supports you fully

Hi, I’m Allyson 🤍

I work with anxiety and childhood trauma, especially with adults who are still carrying experiences they had to survive early on.

A lot of the time, those experiences don’t just stay in the past. They show up in how we think, how we react, and how we move through our lives… even when we don’t fully realize it.
I believe understanding what we had to survive can change how we move through life.

If you’re starting to notice that in yourself, you’re already on your way.

you can look completely fine
and still feel like your brain never turns off

high-functioning anxiety can look like:

• overthinking everything later
• staying busy so you don’t slow down
• being dependable but exhausted
• feeling like rest has to be earned

and the hard part?
people often praise the exact thing that’s draining you

what’s something people praise you for… that actually drains you?

smiling, nodding, and absolutely not reacting
to anything that was just said

we’ll circle back to that

Hi, I’m Eugenie 🤍
If you’ve ever found yourself overthinking a relationship or noticing the same patterns showing up again and again… you’re not alone.

I focus on relationships, attachment styles, and understanding the deeper why behind how we connect.
My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to slow down, make sense of what’s coming up, and begin to trust the process of change.
Outside of my work, I love being outdoors, hosting a beautiful dinner, getting lost in a good book, and spending time with the people I care about.

I believe we heal the world one person at a time. And if you’re willing to understand yourself and your relationships, you’ve already started.

Follow along for thoughtful insights and helpful ways to approach life from me and our team 🤍
