Mental Wellness for Life.

Learn More

To break down barriers to emotional well-being by creating safe spaces where senior women can connect, share, and feel supported without stigma or shame.

Our mission is to champion mental wellness as vital to whole health by offering community check-ins, shared tools, and supportive dialogue strengthening connection, visibility, and emotional care for senior women.

The Wellness Without Walls Project uplifts senior women through local check-in circles and the WWWP Toolkit. With a background in crisis counseling and holistic health, Arya saw an urgent need for care that honors the wisdom of age while gently holding space for grief, loneliness, and life transitions. This project helps women reclaim their voice, nurture their well-being, and reconnect with their inner strength.

Nourish Your Mind in Science

Grounding With Color
When you’re feeling overwhelmed to bring your attention back

Step-by-Step:


1. Pick any Color—blue, green, red, etc.

2. Look Around You

3. Say ≈ Loud or in your mind, NAME everything you see in that color. Be specific. If using “red”, instead of just saying “that,” say things like: “The red letters on the Dictionary book spine.”

4. Keep Going Until You Run Out. Once you can’t find anything else in that color, notice how you feel. Most people feel calmer and more grounded.

5. Need More Relief? Pick a new color or try looking for shapes (circles, squares, triangles) and name those the same way. REPEAT.

Why It Works: This technique helps shift you from your emotional brain (amygdala) into your thinking brain (prefrontal cortex)—reducing panic and increasing calm. Adapted from techniques rooted in somatic therapy and trauma-informed care approaches.

Reset With Cold Water
Feeling panicked, out of control or “flooded” with emotions

Step-by-Step:


1. Plunge Your Hands in Ice Water. Fill a bowl or sink with cold water and ice cubes. Submerge both hands for 30–60 seconds.

2. Or Splash Your Face with Ice Cold Water. Gently splash your face several times with ice-cold water.

3. Take deep breaths and notice the physical sensation. Most people feel an immediate shift in heart rate, attention, and emotional intensity. REPEAT AS NEEDED.

Why It Works: The cold triggers the mammalian dive reflex, slowing your heart rate and helping shift your nervous system from “fight-or-flight” to “rest-and-digest.” Used in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, and supported by research in autonomic nervous system regulation.
