Come drop into a space of resilience, release, and restoration.
In this special workshop, we’ll use meditation, trauma-informed breathwork, and acupuncture to help you let go of stress, soften old patterns, and reconnect with yourself in a deeper way. This is an opportunity to slow down, breathe, feel, and rest — so you can leave more grounded, open, and renewed.
We’ll begin with guided meditation, continue with a somatic breathwork experience, and close with a restorative acupuncture integration led by Ryan Bemis, Doctor of Oriental Medicine.

Meditation, breathwork & Yoga
We’ll guide you in reconnecting with your body, regulating your emotions, and accessing a deeper sense of calm. Through trauma-informed movement, deep stretching, breathwork, and stillness, you’ll learn to shift your state in ways that are both supportive and sustainable. Whether you're resting in restorative or yin yoga, or engaging in more activating practices like intense breathwork or kundalini kriyas, these tools help bring your nervous system into balance — in sessions and in everyday life.
Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique)and self-acupressure
You’ll learn simple, acupressure-based techniques to help calm your nervous system and begin shifting emotional patterns that no longer serve you. We may combine tapping with mindful awareness — sometimes naming thoughts and feelings, other times sitting with silence. These practices give you a grounded, accessible way to meet emotional pain and old stories with compassion, turning them into insight, growth, and empowered change.
(TRE) Trauma & Tension Release Exercises
A gentle somatic (body-based) method that helps release stress and stored tension from the fascia and reset your nervous system. TRE supports your body’s natural ability to discharge pressure through therapeutic shaking — helping you literally shake off trauma, fear, or emotional holding. Over time, it becomes a practice reclaiming safety in your body, deepening your self-awareness and rediscovering who you are beyond the overwhelm.
you are not alone
Living in a stressful and isolating world can disconnect us from ourselves, from others, and even from hope. It can take a toll on our mental and physical health, our relationships, and our sense of purpose. But you can begin to reclaim your energy, your boundaries, and your voice.
We’ll meet you exactly where you are — and walk with you as you make meaningful, sustainable change in your life.
What Makes Resilience Coaching Different
Resilience Coaching at Crossroads is about more than just talking — it’s a full-body, trauma-informed approach to healing. We combine tools like TRE, tapping, breathwork, and acupuncture to help your nervous system settle, your body release old stories, and your mind find clarity.
This work helps you shift how you show up — in your relationships, your choices, and your connection to yourself.
Burnout, secondary trauma, and chronic stress deeply affect those providing care and support. Dr. Ryan Bemis offers group and 1:1 sessions for community workers—combining clinical supervision with hands-on training in acudetox, meditation, TRE, and community acupuncture.
He has mentored teams across jails, recovery centers, harm reduction programs, churches, hospitals, disaster relief and humanitarian aid projects as well as Indigenous health systems throughout the U.S.–Mexico border and Latin America.

Resilience building
for organizations and community workers
“The best decision I made at the beginning of 2025 was to begin working with Ryan Bemis At Crossroads Acupuncture. I originally sought his services for acupuncture, but soon found I’ve also benefited from his depth of knowledge in other modalities that open doors to releasing stress and feeling peace in these uncertain times.”
Catherine
“Ryan brings me into each session at a comfortable pace while (sometimes literally) pinpointing the areas where my mental and physical health can improve, opening a pathway of healing for the body to follow. He makes space for your existing experience with the practice and helps you expand into new ways of thinking, moving and meditating.”

Ryan: Your Resilience Coach
“I have found yoga, somatic release, meditation, and acupuncture to be some of the best ways to heal myself and support people in my community as we all face trauma, injustice and increasing social isolation. We’re all searching for freedom. We don’t have to do it alone. There are so many tools that can help us build resilience even in the darkest of times and places. My intention is to create safe space for you to cultivate your own inner connection, put these tools into your hands, and help you step back into your power. ”

“After an absolute horror story involving western medicine, I truly lost myself and was thrown into a world of pain. I felt like a new person after the first appointment. Dr Ryan Bemis has been a huge factor on helping me get my life back.
Hope
“From my first visit until now, this has been one of the best medical. The experiences that I was ever had. I am terrified of needles, but my first treatment proved to be a different experience. I went in with pain in most of my body, bearly able to climb stairs. I left feeling energized and free from pain. Ryan's calm demeanor and attention to my specific needs has kept me from needing any medication to control my previously chronic pain.
