One-on-one guided stretching, gentle yoga, and grounding support.
A flexible session that may draw from guided stretching, gentle yoga, meditation, breathwork, and reflection.
Sessions are held in Newtown, CT.
Grounding
When your body feels better, your mind does too. Most of us move fast all day, and slowing down is harder than it sounds. Grounding means paying attention to your body, your mind, and your surroundings, and a session is an hour set aside to do that, on purpose. You can’t rush a good stretch.
One-on-One Attention
In a group class, the teacher has to keep everyone moving together. In a one-on-one session, everything is built around your needs and preferences. Stretches and movement are adjusted to your body, with corrections in the moment.
I work with people whose bodies work hard (massage therapists, trainers, runners, lifters, and other athletes), people who sit for hours at work, and people getting back into movement after years of inactivity. Both too much and too little movement can build up tension, and stretching helps restore balance. Wherever you’re starting from, I meet you where you’re at.
Built to Move
Our bodies evolved to move and to be outdoors, not to sit at desks for hours. We have a natural pull toward the living world, something scientists call biophilia, and time in nature can help us feel calmer and more at home in ourselves.
Think about caring for yourself the way you would care for a plant: learn its needs, and create the conditions where it can thrive.

“Deb has changed my life. I walk in exhausted and sore and walk out renewed and restored. Regardless of what my problem of the week is, Deb makes it 100% better. Invest in your mobility and flexibility. Your body will pay you back tenfold.”

“I had an assisted stretching session with Debbie at Grounded Present and left feeling looser and more relaxed than I have in a long time. As a massage therapist, I’m picky about bodywork, and Debbie really knows what she’s doing. She checked in the whole time, worked within my comfort level, and found tight spots I didn’t even realize I was holding onto.”
