🌿 Mindful Monthly August 2026 Edition
Dear Mindful Transformations Community,
August has a way of inviting us to slow down and savor what’s left of summer. As the days begin to shorten and routines gradually return, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how you’ve grown over the past few months while making space for rest, connection, and intentional self-care.
Whether you’re soaking up the last beach days, preparing for a new school year, or simply looking for a moment to breathe, we hope this month offers opportunities to reconnect with yourself and those around you.
We’re excited to share what’s happening this month at Mindful Transformations!
🎉 Ribbon Cutting Celebration – New Date!
Mother Nature had other plans for us! 🌧️ Due to rain, we had to postpone our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony—but we’re excited to announce the new date!
📍 Mindful Transformations – West Hartford – 16 Brace Road, West Hartford
🗓 Tuesday, September 22
🕛 12:00 PM
We’re so excited to officially celebrate the reopening of our West Hartford office with our community.
After spending the past year subleasing this space while our practice continued to grow, we’re thrilled to once again be serving clients from our West Hartford location. Our office is home to three wonderful therapists—Lauryn Willes, LCSW, Fernanda Maia, LMSW, and Mary Kate Urban, LMSW—who provide compassionate, evidence-based care for children, teens, adults, and families.
We’re especially proud of our dedicated Play Therapy Room, a warm and welcoming space designed to help children express themselves, build coping skills, and process emotions through the language of play.
Whether you’re a client, referral partner, neighbor, or simply curious about what we do, we’d love for you to stop by, tour the office, meet our team, and help us celebrate this exciting new chapter.
We can’t wait to see you on Tuesday, September 22 at noon! 💙

Stop Trying to Force Your Life. Your Human Design Already Has the Blueprint.
By Christa Roberts
What if the reason you’ve been feeling stuck isn’t because you’re doing something wrong but because you’ve been trying to follow someone else’s blueprint?
In this month’s Human Design Spotlight, Christa explores how understanding your unique Human Design can help you make more aligned decisions, trust yourself more deeply, and stop forcing what isn’t meant for you. If you’ve been craving clarity, navigating a life transition, or wondering why certain patterns keep repeating, this blog is a great place to start.
