Bodyworks Cleveland

A lot has happened since I returned home in September.

These past months have asked me to slow down, focus on family, and truly get grounded again. It’s been a tender and meaningful season of reconnecting with what matters most and listening for what feels aligned moving forward.

After spending a few months at the Brownhoist, though I love the building and community, I realized it wasn’t the best long-term fit for my work or daily rhythm. I’m now happily settled in Ohio City, which already feels like home.

While I’ve moved out of the Brownhoist, I still have the space for one final month—and I’m grateful to share it in a meaningful way.

My dear friend Mark Common is exhibiting his work in the show:

May You Escape Interesting Times: Recent and Selected Works
On view through February 27

It’s a beautiful collection of landscapes, his Dead Tree Series, and Urbanscapes that invite quiet, reflection, and a moment of peace—something we could all use right now.

This Sunday
Unblocked: Move & Create!

I’m especially excited to be collaborating with songwriter and author Noah Gettle to offer a supportive, inspiring workshop for singer-songwriters this Sunday.

If you’ve been longing to reconnect with your creative voice, release blocks, or simply spend time in creative community—it’s not too late to join us.

Wednesday Evening Yoga

Our Wednesday evening yoga classes have had a few hiccups due to weather and building renovations, but I’m hopeful warmer temperatures are on the way.
If conditions allow, we’ll gather this Wednesday at 6:00 PM.
I’ll keep you posted.

Looking Ahead

I’m excited to begin sharing photos and stories from my incredible (and far too short) summer adventure.
There is still so much unfolding from that journey, and I look forward to sharing it with you when the time feels right.

Thank you for being part of this community and for walking this path with me.

With gratitude,
Theresa

The Ultimate Self-Massage Routine Full-Body Reset

Wednesday January 29th, 2025 6-8pm

$85 includes the workshop AND the two sets of therapy balls : )

Held at The Underground at St. John Episcopal 2600 Church Ave. Cleveland, OH 44113

In this workshop I’ll guide you through my favorite qigong and fascia unwinding movements, self-massage techniques using your hands and therapy balls, and breath-work to free stagnant energy in the body. Workshop finishes with a Heartflow meditation that helps to reset and train the nervous system.

Class size is limited to keep it small and intimate with individual attention. Link for workshops in bio.

Check out my Bodywork Explorer channel 😊

Here is a short guided Heartflow Meditation to start off your week. 💗

Heartflow Meditation: Gratitude In this short meditation you are guided to connect to your body and invite the feeling of gratitude until the feeling is so abundant that it grows and shines...

I would venture to say that every single one of my bodywork clients and yoga students would find huge benefit from practicing these self-massage techniques to free their diaphragm and re-educate breathing muscles to expand and take a full, proper breath.

When you cannot take a full diaphragmatic breath you are potentially...

👉Limiting your lung capacity with shallow breath

👉Challenging anterior neck muscles to do work they shouldn’t

👉Increasing anxiety

👉Trapping your confidence

👉Contributing to painful stuck holding patterns in the ribs, shoulder girdle, and neck

👉and so much more

In this one-of-a-kind workshop expect gentle warm-up movements, breath-work, and self massage with our hands and the large Coregeous therapy ball (included and yours to take home) on the skin of the torso stomach, ribs, back, neck.

Class size is limited to keep it small and intimate : )

This month I have two in-person workshops that could have a huge positive impact in understanding your body and how to incorporate an impactful self-care toolkit for the rest of your life.

Is it a replacement for professional bodywork?

No, but these workshops can help you between sessions and provide you with a lot of ideas to troubleshoot your pain and create freedom in the layers of your fascia.

Size is limited and spots are filling up! Questions? reach out

Breath is so powerful as a practice to release vigilance, guarding, and ways of holding our bodies that keep us trapped.

Stuck holding and breathing patterns can contribute to fear, anxiety, and rob you of your confidence and ease.

When our bodies are free to breathe and move, it’s incredible what old burdensome versions of yourself can be released as well.

You are invited to my first in-person workshop since the Pandemic! Only 12 spots. This will sell out quickly.
