Over her 34 year career in Community Mental Health, she developed many innovative services, bringing her and the CMHC Board national recognition.

Since retiring eleven years ago, she continues this consultation work, has a clinical private practice and helped develop and serves as the Clinical Director of the Fayette County Mental Health Court.

Her clinical practice, which is located at Lexington Salt Cave & Wellness, gives Connie the opportunity to put her many years of training and experience as a therapist and transformational life coach into practice. She loves helping people find meaning and purpose in life, develop greater self-acceptance, positive relationships, and a lifestyle of satisfaction and joy.

It’s hard to imagine taking care of yourself when you can’t afford to feed your children. These words hold a truth that too many families live every day.
When survival becomes the priority, self-care isn’t a luxury — it’s often an impossibility.
As a community that believes in whole wellbeing, we can’t ignore the link between nourishment, dignity, and mental health. Taking care of our neighbors means ensuring every parent has the resources to feed their family, and every child has access to healthy meals and hope. And we are so thankful to live in a state where our governor is fighting to make sure people receive the help they need.

If you or someone you know is struggling to be able to give themselves care, we offer complimentary wellness offerings such as a gentle yoga class (Saturdays at 11am - donation based), a quarterly free yoga nidra meditation in the salt cave (see our events page), a Friday yoga class free to Veterans and First Responders, and a Sliding Scale Massage on the 2nd Saturday of each month generously offered by LMT Dylan Sumpter. We also host a free monthly Women's Circle in the Studio on the first Wednesday of each month.

Together we can help everyone feel whole and nourished. Reach out. You are welcome here!

How to elevate your Infrared Sauna session: This ritual is more than heat — it’s a full-body recalibration.
Here are 4 ways (+ a bonus) to amplify every drop of its magic:

1️⃣ Hydrate like a Pro.
Drink water + electrolytes before and after your session. Your body’s flushing toxins + sweating salt and fluids — give it what it needs to replenish.
P.S. Add a couple packets of LMNT to your session, one of the highest-quality electrolyte packets on the market (no sugar, no artificial junk)

2️⃣ Infrared is more efficient so shorter sessions = big benefits.
30–40 minutes is plenty of time to receive all the perks — increased circulation, a cardiovascular boost that mimics exercise, and that signature post-sauna glow. Shorter sessions allow for more frequent visits and deeper benefits. We appreciate when you finish on time and allow us the space to refresh for the next guest!

3️⃣ Breathe with intention.
Slow, nasal breathwork activates your parasympathetic nervous system — your body’s “rest + restore” mode — helping lower cortisol , soften tight muscles, and deepen relaxation.

4️⃣ Flow it out.
After your session, support circulation, cellular regeneration, and lymphatic movement with gentle stretching, dry brushing, or a slow cool-down ritual. Keep your energy open + your body in flow.

Bonus Tip:
Pair your sauna with a Salt Cave session for next-level restoration.
Start in the Salt Cave to open your lungs and deepen your breath — or end there for a soothing cool-down that supports your pulmonary system + completes your detox ritual.

Our full spectrum sauna booth offers all three wavelengths of infrared, red light panels, and chromotherapy for total wellness. This isn’t just self-care — it’s cellular restoration. Available 6 days a week and we offer packages + an unlimited membership! Book online or give us a call at 859-396-2349.

Save this for your next sauna session 🔥

Hello friends,
I’ve just returned from a 10-day excursion to Italy — truly the trip of a lifetime — with my daughter and a beautiful group of yogis! I was honored to co-teach on a yoga and wine retreat in the heart of Tuscany, invited by my dear friend and colleague, Colleen Potter .
Together, we hosted an incredible group of women and shared countless moments of laughter, peace, reflection, and deep connection through yoga, meditation, and the most divine food and wine. Every day felt like a sensory celebration — the beauty, the flavors, the stillness, the joy.
Now, as I settle back into the rhythm of home, I find myself feeling deeply grateful for our own little slice of paradise here. We’re so lucky to live in a region that offers such timeless landscapes, vibrant local culture, and a charming city that still manages to feel like a small town. I hope you’ll take time this fall to explore and savor it all.
And as we move toward the holiday season, I warmly invite you to bring your family and friends to the Salt Cave — to start or end your day in a space that nourishes your body, mind, and soul. Don’t wait to sign up for the wonderful events we have coming up!
My word for the year is Nourish, and as we enter these final months, I feel called more than ever to live that intention. I hope you’ll join us in doing the same — to breathe, restore, and reconnect with what truly matters.
✨ Check out our upcoming events and classes — and give yourself permission to be nourished.
Love & Salt,
Lara
