OUR PHILOSOPHY
Welcome to Moves to Bloom, where together, we'll cultivate the roots of your transformative journey to reach new heights and flourish for years to come.
​
From the very beginning, we'll nurture your mind-body connection, delving into the therapy process that embraces your authentic self. We believe true healing lies in considering lifestyle factors beyond diet - from sleep to movement, environment to community, mindfulness to creativity, and the interplay of the physical and mental body.
In a safe and nurturing space, our integrative approach weaves psychological and nutritional science with traditional wisdom and holistic care, empowering you with knowledge that transforms behavior. Just like a plant needing water and sunlight, we aim to elevate your health and equanimity.
"Movement is medicine for creating change in a person's physical, emotional, and mental states."
- Carol Welch
REGARDLESS OF AGES OR GENDER, WE'LL DELVE INTO THE DEPTHS OF YOUR EXPERIENCES, UNLOCKING EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION, SELF-AWARENESS, AND RESILIENCE.
