Year of the Business Owner: Pause to Thrive

On Feb 3, 2023

Describe your business.

Pause to Thrive addresses the mental health effects of serious illness to build resilience. Our overnight and day retreat programs are designed to immerse participants in an interactive and supportive blue and green environment. The organizational pillars are based on a spiritual holistic model offering health education, integrative medicine, psychosocial counseling and support, and group life coaching. Our dedicated retreat team of volunteer medical professionals are affiliated with Robert Wood Johnson Barnabas Health, Encompass Health, Open Heart Yoga, Seeds of Life Coaching, and private practice. Upon the request of the medical community, a post COVID retreat program is currently offered. Programs for those with cancer and heart disease will be available in 2023.

What are your challenges?

We are in the expected lifecycle stage for an emerging non-profit. The organization is focused on fundraising for infrastructure, program expansion, growing community impact, board development and marketing.

Why did you join NJBIA?

As a long-standing member of NJBIA through previous business and non-profit affiliations, it was important that we become a member to benefit from the networking, education, health and business advocacy and an array of available tools and services NJBIA provides for new businesses.
