may: a message from the heart

year two.

Last year we shared our origin story, acknowledging that it takes a village. I had a whole different post drafted for this and then scrapped it which feels pretty on brand for running this business. Learning how and when to pivot.

What we’re learning now is what it means to care for that village.

A ‘wellness’ space holds a lot more nuance than what you see. For the ease you feel when you walk in, there’s a lot happening in the in-between. Behind the screens, behind the scenes.

Slack threads, text threads, email threads. Little love notes at the front desk. Pesky reminders disguised as cute signage. All the small, intentional things that keep this place moving.

Communication. A lot of it. When it’s hard, when it’s uncomfortable, when it asks you to really stand in your integrity. Doing the hard things, especially when it would be easier not to.

We’re becoming known for our collaborations and that feels really aligned. Community to me, is connection. And this next year, there will be even more opportunities for that. Ways to connect to yourselves, to each other, and to some really incredible humans in this city.

A huge shoutout to Charlie for being an example of what it looks like to lead with love. This space is held the way it is because of your care for our people and attention to detail.

As always, I’ve rambled but that’s how you know this is a real human (no shade, the other tools help too). Also probably why I can’t moderate this account full time, ha!

There’s a lot to be proud of. And also a feeling that we’re just getting started.

If you’re here, reading this, or part of this space in any way, thank you from my whole heart 🤍
