✨ The studio portion of Elle Studio + Wellness was always a dream. The dream being that people would recognize the connection of the mind to the body, as it related to mental health, and participate in the magic of tending to that connection.

The studio would be where that magic happened. 8 years ago, I found it. A pile of rubble in an empty 4000 sq foot lot and an architectural plan that placed it next to mental health and nutrition therapy offices for holistic care, all under one roof.

Enter Katie. My right hand. My guru. She didn’t know me at all but took a leap of faith and came on this unknown journey with me. And we started with yoga, lots and lots of yoga (also barre, Zumba, Dance Video Diva, strength training, and countless workshops). A frenzied blur of trials and errors, and also a whole lot of fun.

Enter Kristen. A yogi, but also an eager and bright eyed enthusiast for all things new and creative.

I have learned so much over the years about running a business. Katie and Kristen, by my side, talking me through each and every turn.

I’ll have to give Covid a nod here—forcing us all to reassess…well, everything.

It was at this point that Katie and Kristen announced: they wanted to be therapists too. Now, I could be by their sides, talking them through each and every turn. And just like that, the studio evolved.

I’ve never known a room to buzz with positive energy, warmth, and connectivity the way the studio does. And that’s all credit to Katie and Kristen who brought the magic. They made it a home for others to find inner peace while building their own professional skills to see them through.

All this to say, and perhaps you’ve heard, our Kristen has graduated and is now officially a somatic therapist. And with Katie on her coat tails, a dream is fully actualized.

It’s pretty incredible how meeting one person can change the course of your life. And how a whole team like ours came together to impact a community.

Out of pure happiness, I share our story. ✨

✨October 7th✨is Elle’s anniversary and today marks 7 years! I am dedicating this year to all the incredible women in my life. Women who exude love, compassion, and support. Women who hold us down, lift us up, truly care, and make all kinds of sacrifices seen and unseen for the betterment of the ones they soldier for and protect. These are our friends, our clients, our providers, our neighbors, and our family. Women who create genuine connection fueled by both vulnerability and fierce loyalty. Where would I be, where would any of us be without it? Thank you for another year of care and connection we all so humanly need and deserve.

"With true freedom from the diet mentality, you have complete peace with food." - Elle's registered dietitian, Sam, has a new blog on Intuitive Eating principles and how they cultivate a new way way of perceiving food and diet culture.

Join her group starting in June to learn these principles within a supportive community.

We have all fallen victim to diet culture, food rules, and fad diet buzzwords like “detox”, “clean eating,” and “metabolism boosting.” Diet culture has infiltrated the media, marketing, and our minds.
