Team WHOA wants you to know:
Valentine’s Day isn’t just about loving others — it’s about loving you, too. 💗

Self-love isn’t selfish. It’s the foundation of your mental health. When you choose to treat yourself with kindness, you reduce stress, build confidence, set healthier boundaries, and create a more peaceful mind. The way you speak to yourself matters.
This Valentine’s Day, try practicing self-love by:
💕Speaking to yourself the way you would a close friend
💕Taking a break without guilt
💕Protecting your energy & setting boundaries
💕Journaling your thoughts and wins
💕Moving your body in a way that feels good
💕Nourishing yourself with care
💕Celebrating how far you’ve come

You deserve your own love story. Start with you. Happy Valentine’s Day from all of the team at WHOA RVA ❤️

✨Pet Spotlight!✨

Meet the cutest, cuddliest little lad, Mr. D**ky Winkles! He’s one of the fur babies belonging to WHOA’s very own Sarah! D**k, as he’s more affectionately known enjoys play time, meeting new faces, fresh haircuts, and car rides!

Did you know that studies show that spending time with small dogs reduces stress, boosts serotonin, and encourages social connection? 🐶 🐶
But honestly? One cuddle from this little fluff could boost anyone’s day. 🐾❤️

✨Pet Spotlight! ✨

Meet Jonesy, the majestic feline daughter of the marvelous team WHOA therapist Mason! Jonesy is the fluffiest companion who can always be relied on to be in the right place at the right time.

Cats are not only cute, cuddly, and fierce, but they offer true stress reduction. Petting a cat can lower cortisol (the stress hormone) and increase oxytocin (the “bonding” hormone). Their rhythmic purring can also have a calming effect—some call it “purr therapy.”

Studies also show that pet owners, including cat owners, tend to have lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of heart disease—likely linked to the calming effects of pet interaction.

Take a mindful moment for purr therapy and thank a cat! 🐈

😴 Improve your sleep and energy levels
Even 10 minutes outside can shift your whole mindset.
No pressure. No pace. Just breathe, move, and let nature do its magic. 🌿💫
So lace up, step out, and walk your way to better mental health today. 💚

Together, we stand with survivors, honor their strength, and commit to breaking the silence.
No one should suffer in silence. Help raise awareness, spark change, and be a voice for those who can’t speak.
