's C.J. Wesby: "The final school bell is about to ring, and Del Ray is shifting into one of its best seasons. Summer in Del Ray is an invitation to step outside, move a little more, and soak up the kind of wellness that doesn’t require a gym membership or a screen — just fresh air, good company, and maybe a few ice cream drips on your shirt."

In this week's Well Ray Blog, C.J. has practical tips on getting outside in Del Ray to benefit your body, mind, and mood. Read more at the link in bio or at visitdelray.com/wellness-blog, or in this month's !

.your.power's Bob Soulliere:"Breathing is happening anyway. The question is whether it happens unconsciously, shaped by stress and habit, or consciously, shaped by awareness and choice. The breath is one of the only bridges between the voluntary and involuntary body. It is a doorway you can walk through at any moment."

In this week's Well Ray Blog, Soulliere, a breath coach, offers three simple breath principles you can use anywhere, anytime to help that bring you back, stay present, restore sense of agency, and build resilience as a lived bodily skill.

' Kay Sidahmed: "Our modern way of life has created a myriad of obstacles that can make it difficult to get our nightly dose of vital and restful sleep. The good news is, our bodies know how to sleep if we do our share to create a sleep supportive terrain."

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for our Wellness District Mixer. It was such a wonderful evening connecting with fellow Del Ray wellness business owners who care deeply about this community.

One of the best parts of being part of the DRBA is the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with other local businesses, share ideas, talk through the real growing pains of business ownership, and find ways to support one another along the way.

As a healthcare business owner, those honest conversations and shared experiences mean so much. We truly appreciated your thoughtful feedback, creative ideas for future pop-up events, and the open dialogue about how we can continue building something meaningful together.

Until next time! ✌️

's Andrada Florescu, LPC: "One of the deepest transformations after heartbreak is learning that healing is not about filling a void. It’s about returning back to yourself. ... As you heal, two powerful forces begin to rise — confidence and optimism. They are the essential ingredients that will guide your journey forward. When you embody these qualities, your life begins to change."

In this week's Well Ray blog, Florescu shares four easy tools on how to step back into your power and achieve transformation one intentional step at a time.

' Amy Wood: "As we begin opening the windows and letting in the fresh air, take a moment to also let in alternative ways of thinking about our lives. Seasonal shifts can remind us to shift our mindsets and minor adjustments can make a significant impact."

In this week's Well Ray Blog, learn more about spring cleaning for wellness -- an opportunity to take an inventory of what thinking styles we possess that may benefit from being tweaked or altered. Visit the link in bio or visitdelray.com/wellness-blog to read more.

' Lisa Reeves & Mylene Feiler: "Most of us are running a little too hot; mentally, emotionally, calendar-wise. We move from one thing to the next without ever really landing in our bodies. Nature has a funny way of interrupting that pattern. Step outside, slow your pace, and suddenly your nervous system gets the memo: we’re safe, we can chill now. Practices like mindful walking, movement and birding gently shift us out of 'go mode' and into a more regulated, grounded state, supporting everything from stress reduction to improved focus and emotional balance."

In this week's Well Ray Blog, the Salty Birds team explains the benefits of birding -- which, when paired with gentle movement and intentional pauses, "helps regulate the nervous system, lower cortisol levels, and bring you back into the present moment."
