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.

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.”

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.

“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.

“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.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

  • Each session with Dr. Ryan Bemis is shaped around what you need most. You’ll begin by exploring what’s coming up for you — whether that’s stress, trauma, pain, or emotional overwhelm — and together, you’ll choose tools to support your healing.

    Sessions may include somatic practices like TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises), breathwork, tapping, or guided meditation. If you’d like, acupuncture can be integrated to help your nervous system process and settle what’s emerged. You'll leave with a personalized plan and at least one practical tool you can use on your own.

  • Dr. Ryan Bemis will walk with you as you explore your old habits and relational patterns that no longer serve you. You’ll start building new ones that align with who you're becoming.

    These tools will support emotional balance, physical healing, and nervous system regulation. They are not just alone-size-fits-all — Dr. Bemis will help you explore what works for you.

    Some of the tools you might explore include:

    • Gentle movement like yin, restorative, or kundalini-inspired yoga

    • Self-acupressure and guided visualizations

    Many clients describe it as a moment of stillness, clarity, or emotional release. It's not required, but it’s available if you feel ready. Think of it as a way to let your system absorb what you’re learning, and support deeper transformation from within.

    Our sessions aim to create not just change, but integration — and you’ll always leave with a tool or practice to support your healing between visits.

  • Not at all — all of these practices are adapted to suit your experience level. Whether you're brand new to mindfulness or have a personal practice, we guide everything with care and customization. You're in the driver’s seat throughout your journey.
