There’s a deeper story behind the women we celebrate on Mother’s Day.

Not just what they’ve done, but what they’ve carried.

The quiet weight of responsibility. The constant turning toward others. The ways they’ve held things together when it mattered most.

And yet… those same women are rarely given space
to step out of that role and simply receive.

This offering was created as a small but meaningful interruption to that pattern.

The Mom Reset is a chance for her body to soften. For her nervous system to settle. For her to be cared for; not because she’s earned it, but because she’s worthy of it.

✨30 minutes of intentional restoration
✨Thoughtful, local gifts to extend the experience
✨A space where she doesn’t have to carry anything

💚 $98 (a $335 value)

Whether you’re offering this to your mom, or choosing to receive it yourself…this is an invitation to receive.

Today we’re celebrating Char’s mom, Cindy 🥳

Harriet Lerner wrote: “Being a mother comes as naturally to me as being an astronaut.”

My mom loves me to the moon and back. And the older I get, the more I mother my own daughters, the more clearly I see my mom.

She was a stay at home mom for most of my childhood. Present. Steady. Playful. She made pancakes and did art with us. She cooked the meals that now live in my own kitchen: spaghetti, chicken noodle soup, Neiman Marcus cookies.

She notices what people love and gives generously- quality things that last. Christmas at my parents’ home is its own kind of magic. Breakfast made to each person’s preference. Gifts that say I was paying attention.

She’s one of the most thorough people I know. She taught me how to clean floors and toilets — and sent me back to do it again if it wasn’t done right. (That one lives in my bones now.)

When I had chicken pox (over 800 of them- my mom counted), she dotted each with calamine lotion.

She learned to swim as an adult and made sure my brothers and I had lessons as kids. Eventually those skills helped us each lifeguard, two of us swam competitively, two taught lessons. I taught water aerobics.

My mom went back to work when I was a sophomore in high school. She and my dad wanted to put us through undergrad.

She still tells me the story of the day I was born: two strangers in a parking lot cheered (while she breathed through contractions beside my dad) — “I hope it’s a girl! I hope it’s a girl!” And now this girl is raising three of her own.

My mom taught me to find my baby’s burps, to laugh, to see my daughters as artists and leaders and learners.

I love and admire my mom. She’s one of a kind. 💚

For the next few weeks we’re celebrating the moms behind the Juniper team. Tell us about your mom in the comments. 👇

If you’ve been in the studio lately… you’ve probably seen the sign 👀 “Please excuse our dust… we are expanding.”

What started with The Nest- our space for TECAR + PEMF treatments- is growing into something even bigger:

→ a brand new treatment room (opening into the gym)
→ Liz’s office
→ and an expanded gym to support more of you

Next week the flooring goes in… and it’s all starting to come together.

We’re so grateful for your patience, flexibility, and excitement as we build this next chapter.

This space is growing because of you, and for you. More room to move. More room to get stronger. More room to feel better.

Lucille had it right. 💃

Movement, new habits, strength training — it’s all a little uncomfortable at first.

But the only real regret? Not starting sooner.

Try the thing. Lift the weight. Join the class.
You’ll never regret investing in the body that carries you through life.

Today we’re celebrating Liz’s mom Connie Petska 💕

My mom has always amazed me.

She raised six daughters, spanning nearly 20 years, and held it all together without ever seeming overwhelmed.

Home-cooked meals. No sugar cereal. No soda. (Didn’t love it then. Deeply grateful now.) She made health a priority before it was a thing; on a tight budget.

She’s incredibly smart. Top of her class. Married my dad at 19 after knowing him just three months, and together they built a life and a business that lasted 40 years.

In her 50s, she went back to school for nursing. Top of her class- again!

Calm. Steady. Always there. Holding everyone together.
(Unless she had to garbage-bag my room after asking me to clean it one too many times.)

She’s been sewing since she was eight: our clothes, our dance costumes, my prom dress, my sister’s wedding dress.

Always curious. Always creating. Gardening, cooking, knitting, learning. I’m proud to say I got that from her—right down to wanting to stay strong and healthy at every age.

Now she’s “retired” in a high-rise in Chicago; still making things, still taking care of everyone around her.
I’ve always said she could live anywhere. Even a van down by the river. Somehow, this fits her perfectly too.

I love and admire my mom. She’s one of a kind. 💚

🥳 We’re spending the next few weeks celebrating the moms behind our Juniper team—because one day isn’t enough. Drop a comment and tell us about yours. 👇

Foot pain doesn’t have to be your new normal.

If your foot isn’t functioning well it won’t just fix itself.

The good news? Your feet are adaptable. They can get stronger. And when they do, everything above them starts to change too! 🙌

🌿 Our Spring Foot Pain Relief Event is here through May 31

→ Dip your toes in with RELIEF ($99)
→ Or take a deeper approach with RESTORE ($999)

Not sure where to start? We’ll help you figure that out.

Because feeling better is possible.

04/16/2026

It looks playful because it is. But underneath it is consistency, trust, and a whole lot of strength built over time.

LiftHER coaches create an environment where you can show up as you are, be supported, and follow a progressive strength plan alongside other women doing the same.

5:30, 6:15, 7:45 → full
→ 7am… 4 spots left

If you’ve been thinking about lifting, 7am could be your time.

Emily (Mon/Wed) + Randi (Fri) are ready for you.

PS: This isn’t the workout 😉 But the work is real.

It doesn’t look like much at first. Just a slow, intentional treatment.

But what you’re seeing here is TECAR therapy: radio frequency energy moving through Madison’s hands into the guest’s foot. This treatment supports circulation, tissue mobility, and how your body responds to stress and irritation.

You can feel it.
✅ A deep, targeted warmth.
✅ A sense of ease.
✅ A shift in how the area moves and responds.

For many of our guests, this becomes their go-to; something they come back to when their feet (or body) need support.

Some even call it their “miracle.” We just see it as a powerful way to help the body do what it’s meant to do.

If you’ve been dealing with foot discomfort, tightness, or that “something’s off” feeling… this might be worth experiencing.

Right now, we’re offering two ways to explore it:

Relief Package ($99) ➡️ a simple way to experience TECAR and see how your feet respond
Restore Package ($999) ➡️ address the root cause through TECAR + physical therapy to build stronger, more capable feet

→ If you’re curious, we’re happy to help you figure out what fits

Meet Jenn 💚

Jenn brings a unique blend of strength and support to Juniper that’s rooted in the belief that movement matters, and taking care of yourself doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Personal Trainer, and certified in Trauma-Informed Weight Lifting, she brings somatic awareness, connection, and embodiment into strength training.

Jenn’s approach is grounded in helping people better understand what they’re truly capable of, so with the right support, discipline, and connected decision-making… more becomes possible, and limitations start to fade.

Her style is simple: Show up. Stay consistent. Trust what your body is capable of. And maybe… have a little fun along the way.

You’ll find Jenn in the studio:
→ Tuesdays 6am–12pm
→ Fridays 8:30–11:30am

If you’ve been looking for a place to start (or restart), personal training with Jenn could be it.

Text or call us at (920) 320-9838 to get on her schedule 💚
