Foundational
Values of Healing Connections Wellness Center

Creating an atmosphere and relationship where every person feels seen, heard, validated, and supported throughout their experiences.

Healing Connections Wellness is a great place to find safe connection
  • Providing a space where people can find connection to safe people and helpful resources regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious beliefs, or income level.

  • Honoring and respecting each person’s humanity and the life experiences that shaped them to be who they are today.

  • Supporting and empowering people on their therapeutic journey that allows for transformation, healing, and growth.

  • Encouraging holistic wellness for every human we come into contact with.

  • Helping people connect to and engage with their body and mind in a new way that allows us to feel anchored in safety and deepens self-understanding and self-compassion.

  • Helping raise awareness and understanding about health and wellness.

  • Helping people disrupt old maladaptive ways of thinking and being and open and strengthen healthier and adaptive ways of being.

  • Helping people to see their inherent worth and value as they are, not as they have been defined to be by others.

  • Helping people understand trauma as anything that is too much for too long, too little for too long, or too much too soon and in these experiences, there was no one attuned to them to help them through it or to make sense of it.

We were honored to be a part of the Out of the Darkness Walk in Toledo yesterday! Held at Promenade Park, this powerful event brought our community together to raise awareness for suicide prevention, honor loved ones lost, and offer hope to those still struggling. Our amazing therapists Kristi Kennedy and Gina Mariani were there to provide a safe and supportive space for those in need! We're grateful to everyone who walked, shared their stories, and helped shine the light into the darkness. Together, we can make a difference! 🫶🥰 ...

Happy Autumn! 🧡🍂Stress is a natural part of life for all of us. We can try to reduce negative stresses, but we can't completely avoid things that make us feel anxious, tense, frustrate, or discouraged. Self-care helps mitigate the negative effects of stress, that's why it's so important. Without self-care, stress builds up until we feel overwhelmed, exhausted, depressed, and even physically sick. Self-care includes anything healthy that you do to meet your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. If you are just getting started with self-care, start small. Something is definitely better than nothing. Every little thing you do for yourself matters. ...

Every single person has it in them to live a life with depth and completely in tune to who they are meant to be, to live in full connection with their body, mind and soul. As you heal, your perception on many things will shift, your needs will change, you'll become more aware of your body and therefore they way you feel around people. Sometimes relationships strengthen, sometimes you realize people no longer have a place or maybe just for right now. You no longer feel compelled to make friendships and relationships work at the cost of your mental health. When we tend to our nervous system by learning about our nervous system and having guidance to rewire it, we open up the opportunity to engage in connection without the constant shield of our trauma and chronic stress. We open up the ability to rest in safety without the guard of our hypervigilance. We expand our capacity to hear what is being said in our conversations without the filter of our self protective responses.Begin your healing journey today!! www.healingcwc.com ...

So many of us live our days on autopilot and for some of us that can mean in a state of constant urgency-this is a classic sign of a chronically dysregulated nervous system. If this sounds like you, maybe today you could try one of these. These are little ways to send cues of safety to your nervous system to take it out of survival mode-if only for a few seconds to let it know that it's okay to take a moment. Think of these as anchors! ...
