The Discovery Of Your True Self & Integration In Your Life Is Sacred.
HOLISTIC MENTAL HEALTH CARE IN DENVER & ENGLEWOOD
OUR PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY
Recognize Your Wholeness, Reconnect With Your Authentic Self, Find Alignment With Your Soul.
We believe that all individuals are created whole. Many mental health conditions result from this disconnect between the mind, body, and soul. We hold space for you to have a transformational experience and empower you to find healing and optimize your health. We combine holistic health interventions with cutting-edge evidence-based practices that integrate the mind, body, and spirit in healing.
BEHIND THE NAME
Through a trauma-informed approach, we learn to see trauma like a tree—its roots representing the deep-seated experiences that shape us, often buried beneath the surface. The branches symbolize the coping mechanisms we’ve developed to navigate life. True healing comes not just from trimming the branches but from understanding and addressing the roots, creating a stronger, healthier foundation for growth and resilience.
Balanced.
A harmonious blend of Eastern and Western medicine, along with a balance between self-connection and meaningful connections with others. We acknowledge that we heal in community, and authentic connection with self allows community connections to flourish.
Mental Wellness.
Our focus is on achieving an elevated state of wellness, rather than simply treating a condition as if someone is sick.

THE JOURNEY TO BALANCED MENTAL WELLNESS
Creating A Healing Environment, Where Both The Client & The Clinician Can Be In A Space To Heal.
I started this business after experiencing burnout while working for others in my years of being a nurse practitioner. The expectation was to give everything to my work organization and the clients, which ultimately led to burnout. After leaving an environment that demanded a lot from me, I knew I needed to do my own trauma work and healing. As I began exploring my own healing modalities, I gained a renewed sense of motivation to help others, especially after developing a deeper understanding of trauma and addiction. I learned how to reconnect with myself, build a relationship with myself, and cultivate self-love.
With this newfound clarity, I wanted to create a community where staff could feel safe, do their own healing work, and be inspired to bring that authenticity into their work with clients. I also wanted clients to experience a sense of belonging, a renewed purpose, and reconnection with themselves. What I love about this work is that we approach it from a perspective of walking alongside people on their journey, rather than trying to "fix" them from a medical model.
BMW has attracted an amazing group of working professionals who are equally passionate about expecting better care for clients and our community. Our team is dedicated to learning about your individual healing needs and walking alongside your journey to wellness.
