🚨 WE’RE BUILDING SOMETHING BIG — AND WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU.

The Mid-Atlantic Healing Arts Festival is growing into exactly what it was meant to be: a gathering of people, organizations, ideas, resources, healing practices, and experiences that help our community AWAKEN • REMEMBER • RISE.

We’re currently looking for:

✨ Presenters & educators
✨ Nonprofits & community organizations
✨ Wheel of Life experts — health, relationships, finances, career, family, spirituality, personal growth & more
✨ Veteran & first-responder organizations
✨ Interactive healing experiences
✨ Local government & community agencies
✨ Mental health & wellness professionals
✨ Service-dog, recovery, prevention & advocacy programs
✨ Youth, family & aging resources
✨ People who simply have something meaningful to SHARE

And here’s the thing…

You do NOT have to think of yourself as a “presenter.”

Maybe you can lead a 15-minute experience.
Maybe you can demonstrate something.
Maybe your organization has resources people need to know exist.
Maybe you can offer a tasting, mini-session, conversation, movement experience, community activity, or hands-on demonstration.

There is room for all of it.

📍 Mid-Atlantic Healing Arts Festival
📅 October 3–4, 2026
⏰ 10 AM–6 PM
📍 Solara - Healing & Wellness Center | Hagerstown, MD
🎟 FREE to the public

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation.

It happens when communities connect.
When resources become accessible.
When people learn what is possible.
When someone walks into a room and discovers the person, practice, organization, or message they didn’t even know they needed.

That is what we are creating.

If you see yourself, your business, your nonprofit, your organization, your agency, or someone you know in ANY of these graphics, message me.

And PLEASE TAG people and organizations below who need to be part of this.

Let’s fill these two days with connection, education, experience, hope, and healing.

Because healing happens together. 💜

Something sacred just landed at Solara.

We are so honored to welcome Alexandra Merritt, Licensed Massage Therapist, to our soul crew.

That room. She built something in there. If the photo tells you anything, it's that this is not a transaction — it's a threshold.

Healing was never meant to happen in just one way. Yoga. Reiki. Counseling. Movement. And now the deep, quiet work of touch that tells your nervous system it is finally safe to let go.

This is what we built SOLARA for. Whole-person care, under one roof, with people who actually get it.

Alexandra is accepting new clients now. Book her directly here:

Where healing feels like coming home.

I didn't create Concierge Wellness sitting behind a desk trying to invent another service.

It emerged from the work.

I'm currently supporting two clients in their homes, and I'm watching something really important happen.

When we remove the barriers between someone and their wellness…

they can simply show up.

No commute.

No gym.

No worrying about what everyone else is doing.

No trying to squeeze themselves into someone else's definition of health.

We work with THEIR body.

THEIR home.

THEIR schedule.

THEIR goals.

THEIR resources.

And that's exactly how I believe transformation should work.

I don't create your transformation.

You do.

My role is to guide, resource, support, educate, witness and help you create the conditions where change becomes possible.

And sometimes the best place to begin?

Is home.

✨ I'm accepting a limited number of additional Concierge Wellness clients.

Message me CONCIERGE and we'll talk.

Little introduction post to cure the Monday morning gloomies ☀️

Healing doesn't only happen in treatment rooms.

It happens in kitchens.

Bedrooms.

Living rooms.

Backyards.

On the floor beside the couch when somebody finally realizes:

"I can begin exactly where I am."

Your home has witnessed your exhaustion.

Your celebrations.

Your grief.

Your survival.

Your habits.

Your becoming.

Imagine intentionally turning some of that same space into a place where your body learns:

I am allowed to care for myself here, too.

That's one of the things I love most about Concierge Wellness.

We aren't escaping your life to practice wellness.

We're teaching wellness how to live inside of it.

There's a whisper most capable women learn to ignore.

Somewhere underneath the schedule you run and the people you hold together, a quiet voice has been saying: I don't want to live this way anymore.

You've gotten good at pushing past it. Calling it a bad week instead of a pattern.

But that whisper isn't weakness. It's information. It's often the first honest sign that something you've been carrying was never meant to be carried forever.

Comment "I hear it" if that whisper has been getting louder lately — you are not the only one.
