Where Healing Begins: The Story Behind In the Room & Harvest

We are delighted to share that the Winter/Spring Edition of our magazine, In the Room, has officially been released. In the Room is a well-being publication that explores a wide range of themes, from trauma and grief to creativity and workplace accommodation. With each edition, we aim to offer thoughtful reflections and professional insights from our practitioners on the many issues that shape our emotional and relational lives. We are incredibly proud of our multi-disciplinary team and are excited to share their work with you.

Harvest was born from a period of searching – searching for direction, for purpose, and for a way to connect and heal not only ourselves but the people around us. Life can be complex, unpredictable, and full of transitions: love, fear, beginnings, endings, loss, and connection. Our hope is that within these pages, you find something that speaks to you, supports you, or simply reminds you that you are not alone in navigating these experiences.

In The Room – Editorial Introduction:

This story begins with a crisis – mine and my daughter’s. At eighteen, she could no longer face school. Tears kept her hidden in her room, unable to step outside. I was hurting too: exhausted, financially stuck, and emotionally drained. For months I held her close, listening to the fragments she managed to share. When the doctor prescribed medication, she warned that the first weeks would be even harder. I stayed by her side constantly.

At the same time, I was searching for a change, somewhere to breathe. I dreamed of opening a space for therapists, though I had little money and plenty of doubt. Still, I asked her to come with me to see a couple of places. The moment she walked into one of the rooms, her eyes lit up. In that instant, my hesitation vanished. I told her, “Let’s do it.”

That room became our sanctuary. Together we shaped it with care, imagining what each client would need to feel safe and calm. It became a refuge, a place where we grew stronger, more hopeful, and deeply connected. I wasn’t carrying her anymore; we were carrying each other.

Healing unfolded there. Every practitioner we welcomed added to its spirit, building a team devoted to nurturing others. Their wisdom and compassion gave Harvest Therapy its unique character. The room became more than four walls, it was a space to speak, to reconnect, to grow, to harvest. We hope “In the Room” will offer a bit of that spirit.
