We talk a lot about self-care — but at WORTHY, it’s not a buzzword. It’s biology.
It’s the ongoing practice of helping your nervous system feel safe enough to rest, repair, and respond to life with clarity.
Recently, Candice Raine, CEO of the Arizona Trauma Institute, shared a reflection that perfectly mirrors what we believe: that self-care isn’t an escape from reality — it’s how we build the capacity to meet it.
She described a morning ritual designed not for optimization, but for regulation: gentle movement, stretching, time in a sauna, and slow, intentional transitions. The goal wasn’t to fix anxiety — it was to reconnect with the body’s natural rhythm of calm and activation.
That rhythm is the foundation of nervous system health.
And it’s exactly what we focus on at WORTHY.
The Nervous System Approach to Self-Care
When your body is dysregulated, your mind spins.
When your body is grounded, your mind can think, sense, and choose again.
That’s why our sessions — whether infrared sauna, red light therapy, lymphatic massage, or guided cold plunge — are all built around one core principle:
Regulation first, strategy second.
Each practice is designed to help your body remember safety, so your brain can come back online. From there, solutions that once felt invisible suddenly appear.
Small, Consistent Rituals = Long-Term Resilience
You don’t need grand routines or elaborate plans to heal.
You need repetition — small, supportive actions your body can rely on.
A few examples we love:
✔️ A 10-minute morning walk with slow breathing.
✔️ A short sauna session followed by cold contrast.
✔️ A weekly ritual that says, “You are safe. We know what to do.”
These predictable rhythms tell your nervous system: You’re home.
Integrity with Your Nervous System
At its core, self-care is not indulgence — it’s integrity.
When you’re regulated, you show up to your relationships, your work, and your life with your full capacity.
That’s the kind of self-care we practice, teach, and model every day at WORTHY.
Not surface-level, but cell-deep.
Inspired by the work of Candice Raine, CEO of the Arizona Trauma Institute.
