The Healing Collective

10/20/2026

We were so touched by the community’s response last night—nearly 20 providers gathered in our space to hear about our upcoming Community Nights, excited to be part of it. 🤍

We shared the heart behind these gatherings: we believe healing goes beyond modalities alone. And while we were so excited to be surrounded by so many different approaches, perspectives, and so much wisdom in one room, we believe something even deeper—that some of the most meaningful healing happens when we have space to show up openly and honestly as our realest selves.

When we can learn from one another, feel safe enough to be seen, and connect beyond the surface, something meaningful happens.

We believe a piece of healing happens in community. 🤍

We couldn’t be more excited to launch our Community Nights in just a few short weeks!

✨ Mark your calendars: November 1st at 6:30 PM for our very first Community Night!

Come learn, explore new ways to connect with yourself and others, and find a little more connection along your healing journey.

We hope to see you there! 🤍

Breathwork can be such an incredible tool in so many ways!!

"Research has shown controlled breathing to reduce stress, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, depression, and attention deficit disorder, increase alertness, and boost the immune system." (Fay, 2021).

If you had told me even a year ago how much controlled breathing could shift things in our systems, I don't know if I would have believed you. Now, there are few sessions where I don't integrate breathwork in some way because it's just that powerful.

Wanted to take a moment to share! 🤍

We’ve been dreaming about this since the very beginning of The Healing Collective—and we’re so excited to finally share it with you. 🤍

We’re launching Community Nights: Education, Regulation & Connection—evenings created around something we deeply believe in: there is healing power in authentic community.

Each week, we’ll gather around a different topic with providers from The Healing Collective and other incredible people in our community. We’ll learn something new, have the opportunity to actually experience and practice what we’re learning, and make space for connection with one another along the way.

We’ve already been so encouraged by the response from providers in our community who are excited to partner with us in creating these evenings. There is more to come, but here are a few of the nights already taking shape:

🤍 Reflex Integration for Trauma, Emotional Stability, & Bonding
🌿 Finding Your Ground: Creating a Somatic “Save Button”
🧠 Your Brain, Your Body, Your Healing: Understanding EMDR & Exploring the Way We See Ourselves

And this is just the beginning.

We’ll be adding more nights and more community partners as they come together. We’d love to have you join us.!

We see wellness as a whole-body experience- mind, body, and emotions working together.

We’re so excited to introduce something new!!

One of the things we care deeply about at The Healing Collective is community and collaboration. There are so many wonderful providers and practitioners in our community doing meaningful work, and we want to help shine a light on the resources available around us.

Our new free Healing Collective Partner Network is a way for us to connect with and feature local providers beyond those who practice within The Healing Collective.

Through the network, we’ll be able to:
• Share and promote local services and events
• Create opportunities for community workshops and offerings
• Bring different providers together to connect and collaborate
• Help our community discover more ways to support their whole-person wellbeing

We’re excited to build more connection, collaboration, and community and see where this grows. ❤️

At The Healing Collective, we believe healing happens in the space beyond solely the “hour-a-week" session.

We believe healing is an intentional journey...
a way of life.

And a piece of that healing?
It happens through creating, through moving—it happens in community.

This weekend, we had our 2nd annual Healing Collective team retreat. ❤️

We painted together, woke up obnoxiously early to catch a life-giving sunrise hike 🙃🌄 and shared our hearts with one another... because, the truth?

Maybe we’re all on our own healing journey individually... but, equally important,
together.

And this is exactly why we started The Healing Collective: to create a space for healing, together.

Look out for upcoming opportunities we’ll be announcing to join alongside others on your journey! Because we’re all in this,
we’re all healing...
individually and
together 🤍
