Boots to Balance: Mind-Body Groups and Workshops for Female Veterans
Because Service Shapes You — But It Doesn’t Have to Define You
You answered the call. You served, sacrificed, and adapted to a life most people will never fully understand. But what happens when the mission ends, and you’re left navigating a world that feels both too fast and too shallow? What happens when the uniform comes off — but the weight you’re carrying doesn’t?
The Injuries We Can’t See Still Deserve Care
As a Gulf War veteran, I get it. I know service leaves its mark — physically, mentally, emotionally — in ways that don’t always show up on paper. And I also know that healing isn’t about erasing those experiences; it’s about making peace with them, while reclaiming who you are beyond the service.
At Soul Works Mental Health & Well-Being, therapy is a no-bull, no-judgment zone where you can bring the whole truth — the pride, the grief, the anger, the numbness, the dark humor — all of it. This is a place where your service is honored, but it doesn’t have to define your whole story.
Why we are different?
For female veterans, the journey back to yourself can be complex and deeply personal. Our groups and workshops meet you where you are, offering practical tools, a sense of community, and the space to heal and grow at your own pace.
Sisterhood of the Camouflage Pants Mind Body Group
Our Sisterhood of the Camouflage Mind-Body Groups are eight-session closed groups designed to provide a consistent, ongoing space for shared understanding and personal growth. These small, supportive gatherings foster a sense of community among women who understand the complexities of life transitions and the challenges of finding balance after military service.
Who It’s For: Female veterans seeking a safe, compassionate space to connect and grow in a structured, supportive environment.
What to Expect: Eight guided sessions focusing on mindfulness, managing anxiety, and building resilience. Each session builds on the last, creating a cohesive journey of healing and empowerment. Discussions and activities focus on personal well-being, not on military experiences, allowing participants to explore their needs beyond the context of service. Sessions may include:
Relaxation techniques to calm an overactive mind.
Gentle movement to release stress held in the body.
Group discussions on navigating life transitions, such as career changes, family dynamics, or rediscovering personal goals.
Why It’s Unique: These groups emphasize shared healing and personal growth without centering military identity, offering a welcoming space to be seen and understood as a whole person.
Join us for an eight-week journey toward balance, self-discovery, and connection. Sign Up Today to reserve your spot!
