The Evolution of Twisted Willow Wellness
Firstly, thanks for checking us out! We know there are 1000’s of worthy pages on the ‘Stack, and we appreciate you taking some time to see what we are about.
We are a therapist (Corinne Pecile) and a life coach (Lauren Pla) - licensed and certified if credentials are your jam - and we’ve been working together in one capacity or another for over ten years. We’re also really good friends which is probably more important because if you’re going to be “in it” with someone numerous hours a week, it helps if you like each other.
Our original mission when we started Twisted Willow Wellness was to make mental health and wellness support accessible, affordable and even fun. We are lifelong learners of personal development theories and techniques to help people through the chaotic shenanigans of the Human experience. We are deep souls with shallow funny bones - meaning while we respect the seriousness of life’s challenges, we laugh quickly and don’t take ourselves too seriously.
We want to reach people looking for a village, the seekers looking for a better way to think, to relax, to perceive, to communicate, to connect…and we are a bit over the process people would typically have to go through to actually get to the help they were looking for. So we had this idea: Mental wellness with a Twist. Put simply, we don’t want to do it the “normal” way.
Root Awakenings is Where the Magic Happens
Our foundational teachings are based on 7 Roots: Core Values, Core Beliefs, Relationship to Self, Support Systems, Physical Body, Habits and Spirituality.
Most of what we talk about ties back to one of these 7 roots, and Root Awakenings is our digital L’ouvre, where all the rich knowledge we have to share is on display and at your fingertips. Come for the self-help, stay because we feel like friends and stuff.
So what do you get if you stick around?
We’re big fans of setting expectations, and also, we don’t want to get stuck in perfectionism-itis and never get anything going. We tend to just do the thing and revise later. So with that energy in mind, if you are reading this in early 2025, congratulations! You’re finding us early and have the opportunity to be part of the journey as we build our community here. We are a work in progress and expect a constant evolution of change. Subscribing will definitely support the work we do, and we are hopeful the work we do will support you - so it’s a win-win!
We do expect to add tiers to our membership at some point, and our cache of tools, videos, courses and digital products are aplenty…but we are just getting setup. Hanging out with us now gives you benefit of joining us on the bottom floor and deciding if you want to level-up down the road.
Cheers to just getting started!
