Move Share Heal
A recurring eight-week hybrid group: a 30-minute workout and a therapist-led processing group in the same session, plus subsidized CrossFit membership for committed participants.
A women-centered wellness nonprofit in Western North Carolina
Move.Share.Heal.
Be seen. Be strong. Be whole.
Purplplace brings movement, professional processing support, nourishment, and community together—so every woman can access a more connected path toward whole-person healing.
Our vision for Western North Carolina
Every woman—regardless of income—has the opportunity to move, be seen, and heal.
We remove the cost barriers that keep women from therapy, gym classes, and nutrition coaching, then bring those supports together in a like-minded community of connection.
What we do
More than a workout.
More than a conversation.
Our programs bring movement, reflection, practical wellness, and human connection into the same room.
My Mosaic
Eight weeks of different movement experiences paired with counselor-led exploration of each woman’s life story—plus an individual session to deepen healing and develop her personal narrative.
Whole-Person Wellness
Coaching and education that connect whole-food nutrition, metabolic health, rest, strength, daily movement, and meaningful support.
Move · Share · Heal
Work out together.
Process together.
Grow together.
Instead of separating physical fitness from mental health, each session puts them side by side: a 30-minute workout followed by a therapist-led processing group.

The Purplplace wellness model
Simple choices. Daily habits. Lifelong strength.
The five pillars connect nourishment, rest, prayer or meditation, strength, and daily movement into one whole-person approach.
“There is strength in being witnessed—and courage in showing up as you are.”
Why Purplplace
Women grow stronger in connection.
Change becomes more possible when a woman is welcomed without judgment, supported without being rescued, and invited to recognize the strength already in her. Community is not an extra at Purplplace. It is part of the work.
Personal impact statements
In their own words.
Real reflections from women who have experienced movement, connection, encouragement, and growth through Purplplace.
“The Move Share Heal group provided everything I didn’t know I needed. I’m now surrounded by women I can openly talk to—and a gym community that pushes me physically. This uncovered physical and emotional strength I didn’t even know I had.
01
“Purplplace helped me gain the courage to work out and build strength. There are days when getting out of bed is hard, but showing up is rewarding. The coach works with you, pushes you, and reminds you not to get discouraged—everyone’s process and journey is different.
02
Access matters
Wellness should not depend on having the perfect budget—or the perfect starting point.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Purplplace helps remove the cost barriers to therapy, group fitness, and nutrition coaching for women who participate in our programs.
