A Self Empowerment Group Created A Community
Wellness is often seen as an individual journey. We focus on our own nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, etc. But one of the most powerful, and sometimes overlooked, aspects of well-being is community.
At Synergy Wellness Center we’ve seen how transformative it can be when people come together with shared intention. A beautiful example of this is the group created by one of our coaches, Kathy Quinton, at the Hudson Senior Center. What began as a 4-week Self Empowerment group post-Covid has grown into a deeply connected and supportive community.
Using her book, Strength Becomes You, Kathy inspired a group of women to come together for reflection, conversation, and healing. They met weekly, taking turns to read each chapter aloud, pausing to share their own stories and insights. Together, they’ve built a space filled with growth, respect, and joy.
The group, now affectionately known as “The Girls,” who are still meeting on their own two years later, recently shared this message with Kathy:
“There has been so much growth in the group that we are all unrecognizable. Even to ourselves, never mind our families. Your impact on us has changed our lives forever. Creating a bond amongst us that we find enriching and rewarding. As we realize the gratitude of simply being human together and the bond amongst us that we never knew existed.”
Wellness is about connection too, rather than just individual habits. Being part of a group where you feel safe to show up as you are, where you’re heard and supported, can be more healing than any individual practice. Ask yourself: What experiences would you like to share with others?
