The new year doesn’t need a reinvention. It needs a direction.

Before resolutions, before goals, before the pressure to “do more”, there’s a quieter question worth asking: What matters to me now?

Values aren’t about perfection or productivity. They’re about alignment.

They help us set intentions that feel steady instead of stressful, intentions that can flex with real life, nervous systems, seasons, and change.

When intentions are guided by values, they become less about fixing yourself and more about returning to yourself. A compass instead of a measuring stick.

This year, you don’t have to choose everything. Just choose what you want to stand for. 🌱

If you’re entering the new year carrying something heavy, you’re not doing it wrong. Some seasons arrive with hope. Others arrive with tenderness, activation, or the ache of unmet expectations. All are welcome here.

Your body may remember things your mind has moved past. It may tighten, go flat, or feel uncertain as the calendar turns. This is not a failure, it’s a protective system doing its best to keep you safe.

At Hearten House, we help you move with your story through experiential therapy using action, imagery, and creativity to help insights land in the body, not just the mind. When your whole self is invited into the process, healing becomes something you can feel, not just think about.

You deserve support that honors the complexity of this moment. You don’t have to navigate it alone. 💜

Spontaneity isn’t recklessness - it’s the quiet muscle that helps us shift out of old patterns and into new possibilities. In experiential therapy, we practice small, safe moments of trying something different… so flexibility, creativity, and choice feel more available in the rest of your life, too. 💛

"Winters can be tough with the lack of sunshine and not being a skier. I find it hard to get out and do the things that fill my cup like hiking and camping with my people. However, I've learned over the years to lean into this time of year and allow myself to rest and move more slowly. I try to enjoy the cozy more instead of resenting the limitations the cold can bring. I spend more time cooking, making crafts, and sometimes traveling to find the sun. Here is a wreath I made from the items in our yard and home!" - Kenny, one of our therapists 🧡

The day after a big holiday is for exhaling. For slower mornings. For letting the nervous system come back home.

After the build-up, the gatherings, the emotions (all of them), it makes sense if your body is asking for less: less noise, less doing, less meaning-making.

Rest doesn’t have to be productive. It doesn’t have to be earned. Sometimes it looks like sitting quietly, holding something soft, and letting yourself just be for a moment. 🧸

If today feels tender, tired, or a little empty, that’s not a problem to solve. It’s a cue to soften.

May this in-between day offer you permission to move slowly and care gently for yourself.

12/25/2025

Holidays can hold many truths at once: joy, tenderness, grief, relief, togetherness, or the quiet hope of starting again. 🎄

Wherever you find yourself today, we’re wishing you a holiday that feels warm, gentle, and genuinely yours.

If this season brings up more than you expected, you’re not alone. Pause, breathe, and come back to what feels steady. Your pace matters here. ❄

Christmas Eve holds a particular kind of stillness. A pause before the next moment arrives. 🎄

For some, it’s warm and familiar. For others, it can be tender, complicated, or heavy with memory. Many hold both at once.

This season, we’re honoring presence over perfection; soft light, natural cycles, and the permission to meet yourself exactly where you are tonight. No fixing. No forcing meaning. Just space to breathe.

Wherever this evening finds you, may there be moments of gentleness, rest, and enough-ness. ✨

Holiday gatherings can hold so much at once: connection, joy, pressure, old dynamics, unexpected activation. If the room starts to feel heavy, here are a few grounding practices to help you come back to yourself with steadiness and choice.

Take what feels supportive. Leave what doesn’t. Your nervous system gets to set the pace. ❤

"Cross country skiing is something new I’ve been practicing. A big part of my self care, especially in the dark days of winter, is to play outside as much as possible. Plus learning a new sport or hobby always keeps me humble and reminds me that the process is more important than the outcome. In this picture I’ve fallen for probably the 1,000th time and am resigned to my fate." - Caro, one of our therapists

There’s something quietly therapeutic about being a beginner. About falling, again, and choosing to get back up without making it mean anything about your worth.

Caro’s winter self-care isn’t about mastery or metrics. It’s about movement, fresh air, play, and letting the body learn at its own pace. It’s a reminder that healing often looks less like “getting it right” and more like staying curious, compassionate, and willing to try again.

Especially in the darker months, nervous systems benefit from gentleness, humor, and moments of aliveness: whether that’s skiing, walking, creating, or simply stepping outside and breathing cold air into your lungs.

The process matters.
The falling counts.
And sometimes, resilience looks like laughing where you land. ❄️

When Syd plays the sound bowls, the room shifts. ✨

Not into silence, but into a softer kind of attention. The kind that lets your nervous system unclench and remember what steadiness feels like.

She shares: "Sound bowls help me drop into the present in a way nothing else does. Their vibration softens tension, deepens the breath, and gives the nervous system a gentle reset. I love using them in sessions because they create an immediate sense of calm and help people reconnect with themselves in a grounded, accessible way."

In our IOP, Syd facilitates weekly sound bath groups designed to help clients regulate, settle, and reconnect with the present moment. Sound baths use vibration and resonance to gently guide the body out of activation and into a state where healing work can land more deeply.

If you're curious about how an IOP could support your healing journey, learn more at heartenhouse.com/IOP.

For anyone who wants to work 1:1 with Syd, she also offers individual therapy, bringing the same grounded presence, trauma-informed care, and embodied approach.

Therapy at Hearten House isn’t just talking, it’s engaging your whole system. Faith, one of our student therapists, shows what this might look like.

In sessions, we keep a range of tools nearby so your body has options: fidget toys for grounding, textured objects for sensory regulation, art materials for expression, pillows and blankets for comfort, and movement-based tools when your nervous system needs to shift instead of sit still.

When a participant reaches for something like a slinky, it’s not a distraction. It’s a somatic strategy: a way to help the body process, settle, or stay present while exploring meaningful work.

Because every session is co-created, we follow what your system needs: stillness or motion, silence or expression, structure or spontaneity.

This is experiential therapy in practice. It’s how insights land not just in your mind, but in your whole self.
