A collaborative wellness event focused on supporting women’s mental, medical and physical well-being will take place later this month in Chatham.
Therapy With Hart, Liv Functional and Shakti Yoga Studio are hosting Well Within: A Holistic Event for Women’s Wellness on Jan. 31 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Shakti Yoga Studio, located at 66 4th St. The event is designed to empower women through a whole-person approach that integrates mental health support, medical self-advocacy and movement-based care.
Organizers say the event brings together three local wellness practitioners who share the belief that sustainable well-being comes from caring for the mind, honoring the body and confidently advocating for one’s health.
Therapist Rachel Hart VanDorsselaer of Therapy With Hart will lead a presentation focused on self-care and emotional well-being, helping participants understand barriers to self-care and how to build sustainable practices that support mental and emotional health. Yoga and meditation instructor Ashton Stefina, owner of Shakti Yoga Studio, will guide movement-based practices including yoga, meditation and breathwork aimed at helping participants reconnect with themselves and reduce stress. Olivia Muschik of Liv Functional, a certified functional practitioner, will speak about hormonal health and medical self-advocacy, with a focus on navigating health-care settings and seeking appropriate support.
Attendees can expect practical tools to support emotional clarity, stress reduction and embodied calm, along with guidance on advocating effectively in medical environments. Organizers say the event will also offer a supportive space for women to connect with one another and leave with practical takeaways for ongoing wellness.
