Reluctantly Well is not your average wellness business.
I work with individuals and organizations who are trying to figure out how to support their well-being while recognizing we live within systems that make it hard to be well.
For individuals, I offer 1-on-1 and group yoga classes and 1-on-1 somatic coaching, all designed to help you disconnect from the busyness of the world around you so you can reconnect with your body.
Organizational offerings include a variety of presentations, workshops, trainings, and audits centered around creating a trauma-informed organization where your team can show up as their whole, authentic selves.
Come join me at the intersection of well-being and existential dread and be well, even if it’s reluctantly.
Upcoming Offerings
"Decolonizing Your Best" Retreat
Date: Saturday, January 18, 2025
Time: 10:00am – 4:00pm
Location: Levee Collective, 607 N Limestone, Lexington KY 40506
Join us for a retreat that invites you to redefine what it means to give your best while living within systems of oppression. Through guided reflection, restorative practices, and collective conversation, we’ll explore how our capacity to show up in the world shifts based on the stressors we face. By acknowledging the natural ebb and flow of energy and honoring our limits, we can release the pressure to constantly perform. Through mindfulness, self-reflection, and connection, you’ll leave with tools to cultivate rest, restore balance, and engage meaningfully—both within yourself and your community.
