Global Wellness Day was June 10th. First celebrated in 2012, the purpose of this day is to ask the question, even if for one day, “How can I live a healthier and better life?”

The main aims of Global Wellness Day are:

☀️To recognize the value of our lives

☀️To pause and think, even if for just one day of the year

☀️To be free from the stress of everyday city life and bad habits

☀️To make peace with ourselves

☀️To raise awareness about living well and increase motivation, not just for today, but for the remaining 364 days of the year

At Embrace Wellness we fully support these aims and want to remind you…

“One day can change your whole life!”

All of us at Embrace Wellness wish you a Happy Mother’s Day!💐🌼🌷

Happy World Laughter Day!!

A Message from our Founder:

"This is such a special time of year. It is a time when the world releases a collective breath, closing the chapter of the year before and in the next moment, taking a breath filled with optimism for what the next year will bring. It is a time of reflection and a time of hope.

Here at Embrace Wellness, individuals in our work family have experienced loss and found love. We have said goodbye and fixed what was broken. We have welcomed new experiences and explored what was possible. We have cried, laughed, advocated for ourselves, and fought for others.

Over the past year, Embrace as a practice has grown in ways we didn’t know were possible in one year. We transitioned from a virtual practice to a hybrid practice. We have expanded our interventions to add medication management to our thriving psychotherapy services. We have welcomed over 500 new patients to our place of healing and growth. It has not been without challenges or roadblocks, but the combined power of our staff, practitioners, collaborators, and most importantly, clients, resulted in the creation of something magical.
As we start this new year, we will turn our focus to hope. We hope for continued growth as a practice so we may bring needed to mental health care to our community. We hope for wisdom in our practitioners so they may provide guidance to those who walk through our doors. We hope for strength for those who seek our services to find that for which they are searching.

We want to express heartfelt gratitude to every person who has helped in the development of Embrace Wellness this year. The greatest appreciation is for our clients. You show up to each visit saying I want to be the best version of myself. That strength is truly inspiring. Embrace Wellness will take your guidance and work to be the best version of ourselves in the coming year.

Cheers to a happy, healthy, and empowering New Year!"

I am passionate in the treatment of depression, anxiety, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. I consider it a privilege in assisting patients in their journey with eating disorders and PTSD, finding wellness and peace.

"Hi everyone! My name is Leighton and I am excited to join Embrace Wellness as a psychiatric physician assistant! I graduated from Erskine College with degrees in biological sciences and French. I then obtained my Masters in Physician Assistant Studies from the Medical University of South Carolina in 2015. I have worked in various settings, including general psychiatry, family medicine, urgent care, and with a federally qualified health center.

At Embrace, my responsibility is to diagnose and treat a variety of mental health concerns, including depression, PTSD, anxiety disorders, ADHD, bipolar disorder and addiction. I have particular interest in the management of treatment-resistant depression. I am certified as a Spravato practitioner and Embrace is a REMS certified health center. I am excited to help patients in Wilmington and beyond find peace and better living through holistic and evidence-based medicine to diagnose and treat illness.

In my free time, I enjoy the beach, reading, practicing yoga and running around after my two rescue dogs, Lola and Winston."

🍋We are turning dreams into reality and creating a therapeutic space where mind + body are no longer required to exist separately.

🍋Enter the Embodiment Studio- a Health At Every Size, all inclusive (if you have a body, you are welcome), trauma-informed space to explore yourself in your entirety- mind + body + soul + social.

🍋Embodiment is the practice of attending to our sensations, using information from our bodies + mind in a bi-directional feedback loop to shape our overall experience of living in this world.

🍋Embodiment practices use the body as a tool for self-exploration and transformation through self-awareness, mindfulness, connection, self-regulation, finding balance, and creating self-acceptance.

🍋The offerings at the Embodiment Studio will explore movement and cognition on a deeper level, marrying all elements of what make up a human being. Stay tuned for more information on our specific offerings. We cannot wait to share this space with you!
