Yoga
Trauma-informed sessions, several times a week. Optional, never required, never the goal in itself.
Holistic Wellness
The science of healingthe rest of you.
Yoga, mindfulness, nutrition, and creative practice are not extras here. They are part of the clinical protocol — the parts that quiet the body so deeper therapy becomes possible.
Six Practices
Practices thatquiet the body, too.
These are not extras. They’re built into the weekly schedule alongside clinical work — because the research, and our patients, have always told us they belong there.
Meditation & breathwork
Practical nervous-system tools you take home — not a single retreat-week experience.
Nutrition
A registered dietitian and an in-house chef work together. Every meal is part of the plan.
Art therapy
A licensed art therapist, weekly. For the parts of an experience that words don’t reach.
Music & sound
Sound baths, guided listening, and optional instrument time. Calm, evidence-based, never performative.
Nature time
Coastline walks, garden time, and outings into the canyons — supervised when needed, free when not.
The Evidence
What the body knows,the studies confirm.
Two decades of research on yoga, mindfulness, nutrition, and creative therapy now shows what good clinicians have always sensed: a settled body makes deeper therapy possible. We treat these practices as part of the protocol, not as window-dressing.

Nutrition
The kitchen is part ofthe clinic.
An in-house chef and a registered dietitian build menus around the gut-brain connection, blood-sugar stability, and the simple human pleasure of a beautiful meal eaten without rushing. Three meals a day, taken together, at a long oak table with no phones.
- Anti-inflammatory plateWhole foods, healthy fats, color
- Stable blood sugarNo mid-afternoon crashes
- Gut-brain supportFiber, ferments, hydration
- Sensory pleasureFood as nourishment, not punishment
Creative & Expressive
For the parts thatwords don’t reach.
Trauma, grief, and depression often live somewhere beneath language. Art therapy, music, and guided writing — led by licensed expressive therapists — give those experiences a form. There’s nothing precious about it; bring no skill, expect no exhibition.
