The Reset Circuit is a thoughtfully curated three-hour wellness experience designed to gently guide your body and mind into a state of deep rest and restoration.

You are welcome to begin your time with herbal tea, meditation, and opportunities for journaling and connection. Rather than rushing from one service to the next, the Reset Circuit is designed as a flowing ritual—an intentional journey into rest, where every element works together to nourish the body, settle the mind, and replenish the spirit.  Our hope is you leave feeling grounded, restored, and deeply cared for.

THE PRELUDE: OUR FIRST INFUSION W/ KYLEE FOOTE
The Portal of the First Un-Doing | A Solo Masterclass
Date: July 18th

You cannot step into a new way of being while still wearing the armor that keeps you hidden.

The Prelude is our foundational, single-session immersion—a masterfully crafted taste of the raw depth, plant wisdom, and collective power that awaits you inside our longer, 6-week "steeps". Consider this your entry point; the threshold where we stop performing and start anchoring.

In this focused, high-frequency space, we aren't adding more to your plate. We are stripping away the weight. Together, we will identify the exact emotional mask you are finally ready to lay down—the "I’ve got this" protection that has kept you safe, but isolated—and begin the fierce, beautiful work of reclaiming your sovereign, authentic self.

This is where the system gets reprogrammed. This is where the disruption begins.

✦ WHAT TO EXPECT
Intuitively Crafted Tea: A custom blend, intuitively crafted for the profound, collective work we are undertaking together.

Facilitated Group Dialogue: High-agency, raw verbal processing where we skip the superficial small talk and lay it all out there.

Guided Internal Self-Connective Check Ins: Access your own internal clarity to reveal the mask you're ready to let go of and the exact part of your authentic self you're ready to anchor into.

Releasing & Anchoring Practices: Intentional, ritualistic and somatic checkpoints designed to help you physically drop the mask and root into your inner knowing.

✦ WHAT YOU'LL LEAVE WITH
The Prelude Keepsake Tin: A small, premium tin of our custom Prelude tea blend to take home, ensuring your nervous system feels deeply supported as you continue your self-aligning endeavors.

A Reclaimed Blueprint: The absolute clarity of knowing exactly which old script you’ve laid down, and the visceral memory of what it feels like to be fully witnessed by a village.

Come taste the medicine. Take your place at the table.

An Intimate Container: To preserve the depth of connection and the energy of the room, space is strictly limited to 12 participants.

Investment: $90

Beyond Kegels & Crunches: A Whole-Body Approach to Core & Pelvic Floor Health

An Introduction to Restore Your Core®

Your core includes your pelvic floor, diaphragm, abdominal muscles, and back muscles. Together, they function as an integrated system that supports your body during movement, exercise, breathing, and daily life.

 When that system isn’t functioning optimally — whether due to stress, tension, breathing patterns, posture, pregnancy, aging, injury, or repetitive movement habits — it can contribute to issues such as:

• Nagging low back, hip, foot, or SI joint pain
• Repetitive injuries from activities like pickleball, tennis, running, or strength training
• Leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh, run, or jump
• Pelvic heaviness, pressure, or prolapse
• Chronic neck, shoulder, or jaw tension
• A general sense of weakness, instability, or disconnection in your body

You may not have any obvious pelvic floor symptoms, but you might still feel unsure about how to engage your core during exercise or daily movement, or notice that your body simply doesn’t feel as strong, supported, or resilient as it once did.

 Whether you walk, run, lift weights, play pickleball or tennis, practice yoga, or simply want to move through life with greater ease and confidence, understanding how your core functions as part of a whole-body system can help you move more efficiently, feel better in your body, reduce injury risk, and stay active for the long term.

Most approaches to improving core and pelvic floor function focus on isolated exercises and muscle tightening. Restore Your Core® takes a different approach.

Restore Your Core® is a comprehensive movement program designed to improve core and pelvic floor function using a full-body, nervous-system-informed, functional movement approach.

In this introductory class, we’ll go beyond Kegels and crunches to explore how breathing, posture, movement habits, and whole-body coordination directly influence core support and pelvic floor function.

You’ll leave with:

• A clearer understanding of how your core actually works
• A felt sense of deeper core engagement and support
• Simple, practical tools you can begin using right away in exercise and daily life

 All are welcome.

About Lauren:

Lauren Mayhew is a Movement Educator who specializes in women’s health, with a focus on core and pelvic floor function, as well as pain & injury recovery. With over 25 years of experience, she helps women feel and function better in their bodies, improve movement, and return to the activities they love without pain or limitation.

 She has advanced training in yoga, Pilates, Clinical Somatics, and the Restore Your Core Method®. Her approach combines somatic neuromuscular education, whole-body movement, and nervous system support to address the root causes of core and pelvic floor dysfunction and persistent pain issues, not just the symptoms.

As we approach the peak of the solar cycle, the world around us is saturated with light and vitality. This session is designed to help you harness that external abundance and channel it into your own internal "sun"—the solar plexus.

In the gentle bridge between spring’s growth and the summer solstice, we invite you to step into a space of warmth, confidence, and luminous energy. This sound bath focuses on the element of fire, not as a force of destruction, but as a source of creative power and the clarity needed to shine your brightest.

During this immersive journey, we will utilize a specific palette of frequencies designed to uplift and expand your energetic field:

What to Expect

• A Solar Plexus Focus: Sounds curated to support self-worth, personal power, and the "gut intuition" that guides your path.

• Deep Relaxation: While the theme is energetic, the delivery remains restorative, allowing your nervous system to rest while your spirit expands.

• A Moment of Brilliance: A dedicated period of high-vibrational "light" sound to help you visualize your intentions coming into full bloom.

Come as you are, and leave feeling radiant, refreshed, and ready to embrace the long, bright days ahead.

Note: Please bring a yoga mat and whatever makes you feel most comfortable (pillows, eyemask,  or blankets). We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows you to breathe deeply and expand fully.

To ensure a safe experience, those with pacemakers, implanted devices, or epilepsy, as well as expectant mothers in their first trimester, are kindly asked to consult a physician before joining us.

Kirtan comes from the Bhakti tradition of yoga: a lineage of devotion, sound, and song, rather than physical postures (asana). Kirtan is a call and response form of chanting mainly compromised of Sanskrit mantras.

This is for you if…You show up for your family, your work, your friends- and somewhere along the way, the noise of everyday life just keeps getting louder. Your to-do list follows you to bed. Your mind races before you’ve even had your coffee. You can’t remember the last time you truly, fully switched off.

Your guide is certified Pilates instructor and sound bath practitioner Allison Meyer, who has spent a decade helping people reconnect with their bodies and find stillness in the chaos of everyday life. Her work lives at the intersection of movement and rest- and she brings that same deep care and intention to every singing bowl she plays.

A sound bath is one of the simplest, most powerful ways to come back to yourself. You don’t need any experience, any special knowledge, or even the ability to sit still- just show up, lie down, and let the crystal singing bowls do the rest. The rich, resonant tones wash over you, quieting the mental chatter and guiding your body into a deep, natural state of rest and restoration.

One hour. No phone. No demands. Just sound, stillness, and you.

Join us at the breathtaking Estuary in Essex, MA and give yourself the one thing you keep putting off- a real break.

What to bring:

A yoga mat.

All are welcome. No experience necessary.

You take care of everyone else. Come let us take care of you.

Restore your inner harmony with a restorative sound healing journey led by Laura Degelmann of Soul-full Notes Sound Healing.

Your experience begins with a gentle guided meditation to center your spirit, followed by a deep immersion into the ethereal tones of crystal quartz singing bowls, Koshi chimes, wave drums, and more. As these healing vibrations wash over you, you'll find a sacred space for physical and emotional renewal.

To ensure a safe experience, those with pacemakers, implanted devices, or epilepsy, as well as expectant mothers in their first trimester, are kindly asked to consult a physician before joining us.

Join us for a day of warmth and winter nourishment with our outdoor, wood-fired sauna, situated on the marsh at the estuary. Surrounded by open sky, tidal stillness, and the quiet presence of the land, this offering invites rest, circulation, and gentle restoration.

Herbal tea, Spritz Mocktail and light nourishing snacks will be available inside the estuary before and after sauna sessions, offering a soft landing and space to rehydrate.

Just outside the sauna, a cold plunge will be available for those who wish to move between heat and cold, supporting circulation, clarity, and nervous system balance at your own pace.

For guests looking to deepen their experience, optional bodywork add-ons are available:

Reset your system and nourish your body and mind!

As winter’s heaviness melts away, Spring invites us to lighten up, clear out stagnation, and step into fresh energy. This Ayurvedic lifestyle cleanse is designed to help you shake off winter stagnation, reset your digestion, and restore balance so you can move into Spring feeling lighter, clearer, and more energized.

Rather than depriving the body, the Ayurvedic approach to cleansing is gentle, balanced, and supported. It is not about extremes, restriction or pushing yourself.  It is a time for nourishment, rhythm and intentional self-care aimed at purification and rejuvenation.

To align with the season’s natural rhythm, we will:

• Build an Ayurvedic spring diet that supports digestion and renewal

• Incorporate simple self-care rituals to keep the body, mind, and spirit in balance

• Use gentle movement, breathwork, and meditation to enhance detoxification

The primary goal of an Ayurvedic seasonal cleanse is to kindle the digestive fire (Agni) to support metabolism and overall health. In spring, this allows us to release the sluggishness and stagnation that accumulates over winter and improve energy levels, mental clarity, and mood.

Our bodies know what to do.  We just need to step out of the way!  This is not a test of willpower, it is a practice of presence.

We will meet in person to plan for 3 days of simple, nourishing, easy to digest foods and supportive lifestyle practices. We will also schedule virtual check-ins througout the week for support.

When we strip back to the essentials, even for a short time, we begin to notice how much lighter, clearer and more peaceful we can feel.

This is our true nature.

Join Lauren + Meggie for a sacred winter journey with tea and sound, created to support slowing down, deep rest, and nervous system nourishment during the quieter season of the year.

We will begin with a grounding tea ceremony, inviting you to step out of the pace of daily life and arrive fully in the present moment. As the tea is prepared and shared, you are encouraged to attune to your senses and notice what arises within you. The tea will be thoughtfully selected to align with the winter season, time of day, and the shared intention of our gathering. This portion of the experience is gentle, reflective, and rooted in earth-based ritual.

From there, you will soften into an immersive sound journey. While resting comfortably, layers of sound and vibration wash through the body, supporting relaxation, sensory awareness, and nervous system regulation. Sound is received through the ears, skin, and deeper layers of the body, inviting the system to release tension and gently return toward balance and restoration.

This experience is designed to be receptive and spacious. There is nothing to do, fix, or achieve. Simply come as you are and allow yourself to receive.

Please bring anything that helps you feel warm, comfortable, and at ease while lying down, such as cozy layers or socks, a blanket or pillow, water, and a journal if you wish.

This experience is well suited for you if you:

• Are feeling stressed, overstimulated, or fatigued

• Crave deep rest, stillness, and a slower pace

• Enjoy ritual, sensory experiences, or contemplative practices

• Are curious about sound meditation or tea ceremony, whether new or experienced\

• Want gentle nervous system support without needing to talk, process, or perform

Ayurveda: The Art of Living

Sunday, January 11th

The Estuary, Essex MA

Sanskrit for “knowledge of life" (Ayur = life, Veda = knowledge), Ayurveda is an ancient, life-changing wellness system rooted in the rhythms of nature.  It is the original preventative medicine and the oldest continually practiced system of healthcare in the world.

Dating back at least 5000 years, it is a  holistic science of self-healing and longevity.  It was developed alongside yoga and other Vedic sciences as a profound system of healing that aligns body, mind and spirit.

Ayurveda provides a framework of nourishing self-care practices aligned with the seasons and stages of life, supporting balance and overall vitality.

In this introductory workshop we will discuss:

• The goals of Ayurveda

• Ayurveda’s definition of health

• Causes of disease

• The 3 pillars of health

• The 5 Great Elements

• The 3 Doshas

• Daily Rhythms

• Seasonal self-care practices & product samples

We will conclude with a pranayama and meditation practice, and a nourishing seasonal beverage.

It’s an honor to share this beautiful, practical wisdom for everyday life.

DESCRIPTION: An evening of recalibration and relaxation through sound. Join Lauren, The Energy Nurse, for a restorative experience designed to harmonize the body and mind through vibration and frequency. This immersive reiki infused experience blends the healing resonance of alchemy crystal singing bowls, gongs, and other sacred instruments. Reiki energy helps promote deep rest, energetic clearing, and inner balance. Participants are invited to simply rest, receive, and reconnect with their natural state of harmony.

Group Spinal Energetics at The Estuary Wellness Center, Essex, MA.

Join me on Sunday, November 9th from 12-1:30 PM for a transformative group Spinal Energetics experience.

Spinal Energetics is a dynamic healing practice that works with the nervous system and energetic body to release stored tension, emotional stress, and old patterns that weigh you down.

✨ Space is limited. Reserve your spot today.

For centuries, indigenous communities in Central America have embraced cacao as a sacred tool for connection and nourishment, fostering spiritual insight and wellbeing. This is a space to slow down, practice gratitude, and immerse in mindfulness. Our gathering will begin in a circle with guided meditation and gentle movement practice. Everyone will then be offered a cup of ceremonial cacao and guided through the sensory experience of sipping and enjoying with intention. Cacao's natural compounds encourage the release of serotonin and dopamine, promoting relaxation, reflection, and heart-centered awareness. Some people find emotional release, others gain clarity, and for many it's simply a grounding experience. There will be opportunity for more movement, dance, and song, and we will close the ceremony with a supportive savasana and sound bath. We hope that you are able to carry a sense of connection and grounding with you beyond the ceremony. 

Your guides: Joanna Benevides and Julianne Maguire

Breathwork is a deeply healing and sacred practice. It engages the body’s energy systems to remove blocks and connect you to your emotional center, your creativity, your intuition, and your heart. By breaking through these energetic blocks, the body’s inherent ability to release stuck energy and heal itself is stimulated. Combined with the gentle universal energy of reiki, you'll leave this experience with a total energy reset. Many people develop a home practice after their first experience.

You’ll experience a full guided Breathwork Journey that utilizes a cosmic playlist, essential oils, and other tools to support your individual experience. While intense sensations or emotions may arise ultimately there is a clarity and closeness to self that rises to support you. Attendees who opt in will receive reiki during the session. The breath holds the agenda.

Some of the benefits of breathwork are:

• Renewed energy and clarity

• Deeper connection to self, guides, ancestors, the natural world, and Spirit

• Releases stuck energy in the body, healing is stimulated

• Access to greater creativity and expression

• Heightened intuition and receptivity

• Decreased anxiety, frustration, overwhelm, depression, and confusion

Participants are encouraged to bring a yoga mat and blanket.

Cost: $50
