About Carly

About

Hello & welcome! I'm Carly McDade (she/her). My desire is to serve those in this community by engaging in practices that support mind, body, and relationships. I believe a blend of talk, movement, & energy work creates the space for long-lasting growth and healing. The combination invites your whole-self to be heard and seen.

Restore and Thrive

Understanding that our bodies are comprised of so much water, it seems to make sense that we all are floating along together, really.

Though our inner narratives can feel quite noisy.

Doubt, worry, assumption … these “fluctuations of the mind” are what the yoga sutras call “vritti.” When feeling stuck in loops of anxiety or stress, it’s often lonely and results in separation (from true Self & others).

I’ve come to recognize how the body serves up physical, emotional, & spiritual manifestations in daily life. When we attune to this, it can be quite helpful. However, if greatly unaware of our physiology or imbalanced by it, the outcomes are less useful — sometimes painful.

A blend of therapeutic modalities helps quiet mental chatter and provide clarity. Such holistic practices can bridge a history of hurt to a path of healing. A future where one can traverse ebbs & flows with greater ease. Ultimately, collaborating with others on this journey also offers validation and connection — two of the strongest factors in sustainable wellness. I hope you will join me.

With kindness,
Carly
