January 2026 Edition
By Samantha Alzate, LCSW — EMDR Therapist, Reiki Master, & Consciousness Studies Practitioner
Dear Mindful Transformations Community,
Happy New Year 🤍
The beginning of a new year doesn’t have to feel loud or demanding. January invites us to slow down, take a breath, and settle into what feels supportive rather than rushed.
As we move gently into 2026, we’re grateful to share what’s unfolding at Mindful Transformations, new providers, seasonal offerings, and opportunities to gather, heal, and reconnect in ways that feel nourishing and aligned.

These gatherings offer space to pause, release, and realign through guided mindfulness and reflection—letting go of what no longer serves and calling in intentions that feel aligned and supportive.

Insurance Update Reminder
As the new year begins, insurance plans sometimes change. If you’ve updated, switched, or renewed your insurance, please let us know so we can ensure smooth billing and uninterrupted care.
We invite you to move gently. There is no rush to reinvent yourself, no pressure to have everything figured out. Growth can be quiet. Rest can be productive.
May this season offer you moments of stillness, ease, and the reassurance that you are allowed to begin exactly where you are.
