Why Choose Vagus Wellness
Can you recall the sense of freedom, curiosity, and joy you once carried? As life unfolds, it’s easy to lose touch with that part of yourself under the weight of stress, expectations, and difficult experiences.
In response, many people develop protective patterns—like overachieving, shutting down emotionally, or staying constantly busy—to manage pain, loss, or the need to fit in.
At Vagus Wellness, you’re not expected to go through that alone. This is a space where you can show up as you are, without having to hide or minimize any part of yourself. Our focus is on helping you reconnect with your core self and rebuild a sense of inner steadiness and self-worth.
We work with you to gently untangle what’s been holding you back, meet your experiences with curiosity and compassion, and reconnect with the version of you that feels most real and alive.
Our goal is to help you create a more aligned life—one filled with meaning, balance, and deeper connection.

In Person
Telehealth
In a mind-body-spirit setting, clinical services aim to integrate psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of well-being to promote holistic healing. These services often combine various therapeutic modalities to address the complexities of mental health and overall wellness. The use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are common in such settings to offer comprehensive, individualized care.
We combine evidence-based therapy with mind-body tools to support healing on emotional, physical, and spiritual levels.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you recognize and reframe unhelpful thought patterns so you can respond to life with mor clarity and confidence.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and staying grounded in the present.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a proven trauma therapy that helps you process painful memories and reduce their emotional charge.
Flash 4 Blinks is an intervention used to process painful memories in a different way than EMDR.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a proven therapy that helps couples identify negative cycles to then replace these with positive cycles. This is an attachment-based therapy.
Learn how to slow down, reconnect with your body, and cultivate self-awareness using present-moment practices.
Somatic therapy helps you release trauma and stress stored in the body through gentle movement, breath, and body-based awareness.

Flash for First Responders
First responders see and experience so much. I often hear, “It’s just part of the job.” And while that may be true — thank you for showing up and serving your community — it doesn’t make it easy.
Instead of carrying it all or letting it spill into life outside of work, let’s process it together.
Flash 4 Blinks sessions (discounted rate for first responders) help you process trauma safely and effectively — no need to rehash painful details. Once you learn the technique, you can even use it on your own.
And the best part? Sessions are held in a calming salt cave, where the environment supports relaxation, stress relief, and easier breathing.

Women's Support Group
Monthly gatherings beginning soon! Each month will feature a new theme where we’ll share, support one another, enjoy a meaningful activity, and take home something special to continue your wellness journey.
Our sessions take place in a local salt cave, where the air is filled with natural minerals known to promote relaxation, improve respiratory health, and reduce stress — creating the perfect environment for restoration and connection.
Women wear so many hats — let’s hang them up for a while… and just hang out.
