This space was built for you.
For the woman who’s been pushed aside…
for the LGBTQ+ adult who never felt welcome in a gym…
for the person who’s been told to shrink, push harder, or “just try again” when their body or their mind was already asking for rest—
You’re home.
Nothing here will ask you to perform.
Nothing here will compare you, pressure you, or question the story you carry.
You don’t have to explain why certain spaces have felt unsafe.
You don’t have to earn your right to be here.
We built this space because too many women and queer folks were left out of wellness entirely.
You deserve care that meets you where you are, honors your lived experience, and supports you without forcing you into a mold that was never built for you.
How We Rebuild, Restore, and Elevate You
Find What Truly Fits
This isn’t a program.
This isn’t a bootcamp.
This isn’t “push through it,” “no excuses,” or “fix your body.”
This is a place to reset, rebuild, and reconnect with strength on your terms.
Whether you're seeking strength coaching, non-judgmental nutrition support, or person-centered therapy, we start with a conversation that actually sees you.
Because you’re not a client here. You’re a person with a story that deserves care built around you.
Your Personalized Roadmap
Your body is different.
Your history is different.
Your capacity is different.
So your care should be, too.
Work with Bethany Busch, MS, ACSM-EP, CSCS, PN1, BRM, EXOS whose emotionally aware approach helps you build strength and nutrition habits without pressure or punishment.
Or begin therapy with Auria Zahed, MS, LMFT, whose warm, culturally supportive style creates a grounded space for emotional clarity, identity exploration, and healing from past experiences.
You choose your lane—or both. Always with scope clarity, autonomy, and informed consent.
This is care that adapts to you, not the other way around.
A Secure & Supportive Space
You don’t need another fitness plan.
You need a sanctuary.
A place that understands what you’ve carried: the burnout, the dismissiveness, the shame messages, the medical gaslighting, the feeling of being too much or not enough.
Here, you’re not judged for your capacity.
You’re not pushed for the sake of pushing.
You’re supported, guided, and respected.
Whether you're rebuilding strength or tending to your emotional wellbeing, we hold both with equal importance.
Becoming Part of Something Bigger
This isn’t just a service. It’s a movement.
A movement shaped by women supporting women, LGBTQ+ adults finding affirmation, and people reclaiming wellness after years of being told they didn’t belong.
You’ll hear it in our UpLift Women’s Wellness Podcast—the raw stories, the honest conversations, the strength that doesn’t require suffering.
You won’t walk this alone. Not anymore.
A Deep Dive Into Your Goals
When you’re ready, we listen. No scripts, no assumptions, no “one-size-fits-all” pathways.
If you want to hear how others have walked this journey, explore our Behind the Episode reflections—real moments of growth from real people.
Bethany helps you reconnect with strength that feels stable, gentle, and sustainable.
Auria supports you through stress, burnout, identity, relationships, and the emotional weight you’ve been carrying.
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about discovering what feels right now—and building from there.
The Balance Between Strength & Recovery
Wellness is not just what you can push through. It’s what you allow yourself to pause for.
With Bethany, you’ll build strength that respects your body, your hormones, your boundaries, and your energy.
With Auria, you’ll explore mental wellbeing in a therapeutic space that honors your whole self—your identity, your history, your voice.
Together, these paths create growth without overwhelm and progress without pressure.
Ongoing Guidance & Adaptability
Your life evolves. Your care should too.
Our cash-based model means no insurance restrictions, no fragmented care, and no compromising your emotional or physical wellbeing. Whether you work with Auria, Bethany, or both, your roadmap adapts as you do.
Because real wellness is built to last—not to break you.
