Support for women who feel exhausted from holding everything together.
A space for women rising into a season of becoming.
Bee Balanced is a gentle, structured space where overwhelmed helpers can slow down, understand their burnout, and begin to feel like themselves again — through guided reflection, simple self regulation tools, and inviting and relaxing creative practices.
What happens here
Bee Balanced isn’t an art class, and it isn’t traditional therapy.
It’s a guided, supportive space where we slow things down enough for your mind and body to organize what you’ve been carrying.
In our sessions we use gentle structure, guided reflection, and simple imperfect, accessible and relaxing creative exercises — not to make perfect art, but to help your thoughts settle, your over-tired system regulate, and your needs become clearer.
Meet Teresa
I’m Teresa, an occupational therapist and creative wellness facilitator.
For over 25 years, I’ve supported individuals and families in building regulation, balance, and engagement in meaningful daily life. Early in my career, I noticed something important:
Many women weren’t struggling because they lacked motivation or discipline.
They weren’t the problem. Their load was too heavy for too long.
Again and again, I saw that lasting change didn’t come from fixing people — it came from helping their nervous system settle and creating environments where they could function and grow. It also came from truly listening to a person’s story, and providing individualized approaches, rather than cookie cutter one-size-fits-all approaches.
Today, I bring that same foundation into my work with women.
Bee Balanced lives at the intersection of science and lived experience, as well as earned wisdom and natural intuition. My work is informed by occupational therapy and nervous-system understanding, and supported by reflection and simple creative practices that help women reconnect with themselves in a way that supports lasting change and deep internal growth.
I don’t believe women need to be fixed.
I believe they need space and a journey guide — space to slow down and re-regulate, and a supportive encouraging guide in their journey forward to what their hearts are longing for next.
You are most welcome here, just as you are
For many women, you may have arrived here because you are tired, your load has been unsustainable, and you feel disillusioned with broken systems that are meant to care for and take care of others. On a deeper level, you may be here because life has taught you that time is fleeting, you are tired of waiting for your turn, and for your hopes and dreams to be heard. You want to start paying attention to that small but persistent voice inside that is calling you to notice and rediscover the wonder in the world, slow down, and live more intentionally with joy, awareness, insight and courage.
Are you ready to ready to pause, observe, listen and notice what your heart is saying?
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”—Mary Oliver
This may be for you if…
You are sensing a quiet exhaustion underneath your daily routines and responsibilities.
You keep trying to rest but your mind won’t turn off

You’ve started wondering, “Why can’t I handle this the way I used to?” or “Where is the excitement I used to feel?”
Maybe you are questioning yourself and believing that you “should” be happy with the life you have
Nothing seems wrong from the outside, but you are quietly wanting something more, or something different, and you keep thinking this feeling will pass.
You feel guilty when you slow down, and find it difficult to take time for yourself
You’re a helper, teacher, therapist, healthcare worker, or caregiver who holds a lot for others

Ways to Begin
You don’t have to figure everything out before reaching out.
There are a few gentle ways to begin, depending on how much support feels right to you right now.
🌼 The Gentle Circle—Root and Reset
A small 3-person support circle (6 weeks).
This journey can be started on it’s own as a 6 week journey, or participants can choose to continue onto the next six weeks of the Root and Rise extended journey to complete the 12 week arc of self-discovery, reconnection and increased clarity moving forward in their life.
Root and Reset creates a calm, supportive space for women who feel emotionally tired from holding too much for too long, are interested in increasing self-awareness, and may be curious about creative and reflective practices as to regulate and reset their nervous system.
In this small circle of three, you won’t feel lost in a group or placed under a spotlight. The size allows you to be seen and supported while also learning through the experiences of others.
Each week we meet in a gently guided session that includes reflection, conversation, and simple creative exercises designed to help your nervous system settle and your thoughts become clearer. You do not need to be artistic, and you will never be put on the spot. Listening counts as participation.
Circles are a safe place to foster deeper connections with oneself and others through reflection and community. Each person has important wisdom and insight from their own lived experiences that can be valuable to the group in their personal journeys. Circles help us to gain new perspectives and enhance our own reflective skills in our lives.
This is often the easiest place to begin if you know you need support but don’t want anything intense.
6-week circle: $390
A limited number of supported-rate spaces are available.
🌼 The Extended Journey—Root and Rise
Our signature program that includes a full arc of self-care and self-discovery including rest, reset, regulation, reframing, boundaries, reclaiming identity, and building a new way of living.
Root and Rise—a Season of Becoming can be started as a 12 week journey, or as a six week extension of Root and Reset (see above).
🌿 1:1 Reflective Sessions
Individual support
Personal sessions for women who want a more private space to process what they’ve been carrying and receive individualized guidance.
You might be here because…
You’ve built a full life — work, relationships, responsibilities — and in many ways it’s a life you chose and care about.
And still, something feels different than it used to.
You used to feel more clear, more certain, more like yourself.
Now you spend much of your energy thinking, managing, remembering, planning, and caring for others.
Nothing is wrong, exactly.
But you feel deeply tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix.
You may not need a brand-new life.
You may simply need space to reconnect with yourself — who you are now and what you want going forward.
You are welcome here.
What set what sets this approach apart…
These services and my approach are set apart from other approaches you might be seeing out there. You aren’t looking for therapy, another impersonal self-improvement program or continuing education seminar, and the idea of productivity coaching sounds exhausting and another thing to add to your to-do list.
This is different.
This work is not about optimizing you, diagnosing you, or asking you to become a new version of yourself. It is about helping you gently come back to the one who is already there.
Many traditional approaches or popular culture will treat you as a problem to solve. We are often led to believe that if we just try harder, do more, plan better, organize differently, or use this or that “simple strategy” to become stronger and “better” version of ourselves, we will be able to handle it all, and succeed personally and professionally. Meanwhile, you may continue to feel isolated, inadequate and “not good enough”.
You may have reached a point in your life where you are just tired of trying to be more, do more and live for others at the expense of your own health and well-being. You have a deep feeling of fatigue with the fast pace urgent culture of quick fixes and incessant praise of productivity, and know that this is not what you are looking for. You know that lasting change and growth does not happen overnight or with magical fixes.
This approach is deeply relational, and meant to help you rediscover the inner spark you once felt, the inner wisdom you once heard more clearly, and the self-knowing and confidence you thought would always be there. The work is meant to be the start of your journey back to yourself, not the end where you have all the answers you will ever need.
I will gently invite you to listen to your inner knowing and resilience, and remember— the problem is not you, but the solution does start with you.
