WELLNESS STUDIO

Your physical sanctuary for quieting the noise

You can’t always think your way out of stress—sometimes, your body needs to lead the way. The Pause Breathe Proceed Wellness Studio is a dedicated space built for physical interrupts and nervous system resets. Beyond our core method, this is where we put the "proceed" into action through intentional movement and deep somatic bodywork. Whether you are breaking mental chains through martial arts, releasing tension on the massage table, or grounding your energy with yoga, dance, and sound healing, every modality offered within these walls is designed to help you quiet the noise, rewire your stress response, and move forward with clarity.

MASSAGE - Redefined

Massage Therapy that empowers you.

Karen's massage experience is designed to not only help you release tension and reconnect with your body BUT she will help you understand what is going on in your body and mind in a way you can understand. She sheds light on the variety of challenges life throws your way from posture to pain and empowers you to live a healthier life.

KAREN WRIGHT - MacGyver of massage

27 years. Thousands of bodies. One pair of hands that reads the body and mind at the same time. Karen graduated from the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in 2002. She combines — neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, craniosacral, Ashiatsu, cupping, Gua Sha, sound therapy, and energy work (backed by the Holy Spirit). She listens to the client, then goes where the body and mind need relief.

After surviving multiple concussions herself, she has a particular gift for clients navigating head trauma — work that's more art than most people realize. Her focus is on whole-body healing, root cause to real relief. Natural healing, from the inside out.

KARATE - Modern Self defense

Strength isn't just physical. It's built from the inside out. It is your gateway to protecting yourself.

Karate is an opportunity to develop strength, focus, discipline, confidence, and resilience. Through movement and practice, you'll learn to challenge yourself, build awareness, and discover what you're capable of—one step at a time.
