just a turkey day reminder (and fun stat!) that your thanksgiving day meal is just a 'drop in the bucket' when it comes to your overall diet.
just a small fraction of all the meals you'll eat in a year. some of them will be super tasty, and others kind of a let down. but they are all just one meal.
one meal that you can share with friends and family or eat cozied up on your own. one meal that can nourish your body. and one meal that will come and go.
your body is hungry on thanksgiving - just like every day - feed it, nourish it, treat it with love and kindness.

if the thought of holiday meals is stressing you out, it might be helpful to reach out to one of our dietitians, or for some support around food, nutrition, and nourishing your body. both specialize in helping individuals develop and maintain a healthy, balanced relationship with food, challenge diet culture ideals, and work to overcome chronic dieting or disordered eating patterns. you can find their contact information on our webpage - linked in bio!

Now taking referrals for the SECOND round of my diet culture group. We are currently just over the halfway mark in the first round and it has been going fabulously. It creates great conversation, and opens people's eyes to the amount of influence and perpetuation beauty and diet culture has on us! Please think about who would benefit from this group, and send them my way! Spots will fill up fast!- Maggie

Sherry Strand is telling her story and expanding the ways she serves this human community.

“My husband got back his blood lab results from his annual physical. He had a 2008 heart attack & 2011 TIA and this year we upped our workouts to 2X / week. His numbers are all amazing. Within the range, no change to his medications so YES, upping your sit down classes to 2X / week is GOOD! We need to be active especially those who spend time in a chair.”
~ from a long time community acupuncture patient and tai chi enthusiast

Sherry’s Seated Tai Chi class is Thursdays 2:30 - 3:15 pm. Marilyn’s Functional Movement/Chair Yoga is Tuesdays 2:30 - 3:15 pm. Both classes are part of our Movement for Better Health initiative.

Check out what our very own, Sherry Strand has going on this summer!

We are so very lucky!! For the first time ever, there will be an Intro to Tai Chi class during the spring/summer months. Most of you know, I enjoy taking it easy during the summer and only practice Tai Chi by the River. I am thrilled to announce that Sherry Strand will offer an Intro to Tai Chi class starting in May!

Sherry’s 8-wk, in studio series is Tuesdays, May 10th to June 28th, 7:30 - 8:30 pm in Stillwater. She will guide you slowly step by step in the movements of the Yang Style 24-Form. This is a beginner’s class, no tai chi experience needed. Come as you are.

Sherry has been studying and practicing the Yang 24 Form with me for many years. Additionally, Sherry has earned the blue sash with The Bridge Tai Chi in the Cane Form. She is currently focused on studying another Extended Energy Form, Tai Chi Kung Fu Fan Form. Sherry is an RN, a Reiki Practitioner, and a Sound Healer. She will bring so much to this new group of tai chi enthusiasts!

Her 8-wk series is almost half full. Space is limited for proper distancing. For those who’ve had previous experience with this Form, and looking for a review or extra practice, there is a drop-in rate, as space allows.  We’ll see you at the studio! ~Aimee

You can sign up for Sherry’s class here:👇🏼

We have exciting news at team Wholehearted! We are delighted and honored to welcome Eden Broberg, MA as a new Mental Health Practitioner to the team!

Eden believes that “all bodies are good bodies, that to find self-acceptance you must explore your self-hate, and that authentic personal growth looks different for everyone.” She is incredibly passionate about practicing in a client-centered way and utilizing a feminist approach to explore notions of boundary-setting, self-exploration, guilt, success, progress, people-pleasing, and diet culture (BMI, ‘obesity epidemic’, why diets don’t work, restriction, symptom swapping, minimalism, etc.)

Eden currently specializes in working with individuals with disordered eating patterns but is also qualified and experienced in treating depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and sexual trauma/assault.

To find out more about Eden and to schedule an appointment with her please go to wholeheartedhealingllc.com/edenbroberg-ma

We are ecstatic Eden has joined the team and are looking forward to all the ways she will bring her unique gifts, talents, and humanity to our little community.

Self-compassion and kindness are revolutionary acts towards showing up in the world, with yourself, and those you love as you truly are.

You are exactly where you are meant to be. You have always been enough. You have never been too much. You are both unique and exactly like the rest of us in this human struggle of trusting the knowing inside while battling all we have learned to be afraid of in order to stay safe.

What act of unapologetic acceptance, mindfulness or kindness can you do to nourish your soul right in this moment?

In this moment, I am looking at the snow falling….the loud roar of the wind outside my window and allowing myself to slow down to take in the beauty of this season, even if I would prefer it to be sunny and 75. Please share something kind you are doing for yourself so we can learn from your courage in the comments. acceptance

We are hoping to get our binge eating/overeating support group up and running in February! I know you are wondering what a support group around this looks like… well here are some thoughts and conversations we will address:
1. If are caught up in the cycle of restriction and bingeing, or you feel as though you eat ‘normally’ and still binge or overeat- and can’t get out of the cycle…you are perfect for this group
2. You want to be able to start accepting your body … you are perfect for this group
3. Regardless of if you have a diagnosed eating disorder or not… you are perfect for this group
4. If you want to join the anti-diet culture movement but don’t know where to start… you are perfect for this group
5. If you are wondering why food seems to be the only ‘satisfying’ thing in your life right now… you are perfect for this group.
6. If you believe in health at every size, and that health can be achieved without significant weight loss… you are perfect for this group…
7. If you want to get rid of the stigma around food and create new messages around food and body… yep- perfect for the group.

These are only a couple things that we will be addressing! Please reach out if you are interested!
