Meet the Founder
Hi, I'm Fiorella.
I am a second-year Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student at Nova Southeastern University with a bachelor's degree in Psychology. I am currently completing my final year of graduate training at a residential mental health facility and working toward becoming an LMHC.
I created Blossom & Balance from my belief that growth doesn't have to look one particular way. As someone who loves plants and gardening, I find meaning in watching things grow, transform, and unfold! Something I believe we can also experience within ourselves.
Sometimes growth for me looks like slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, creating something with your hands, spending time in nature, or simply giving yourself permission to pause.
Through Blossom & Balance, I hope to create spaces where people feel comfortable being themselves, explore who they are, and grow at their own pace.
Why Blossom & Balance?
🌸 Blossom represents growth and transformation. I visualize our growth like that of a flower, slowly unfolding, layer by layer, until we can see the different parts of ourselves more clearly. Each petal represents another layer of who we are: our experiences, emotions, relationships, strengths, struggles, and the parts of ourselves still becoming. When we take a step back and see the whole flower, we can begin to appreciate it for everything it is.
🌱 Balance represents alignment. To me, balance isn't about having every part of life perfectly figured out. It's about becoming more calibrated and congruent with who we are, creating harmony between our inner world, our values, and the way we move through life. It is rooted in authenticity and holistic well-being.
Together, Blossom & Balance represents the journey of growing into ourselves while finding alignment in who we are.
The Vision Behind Blossom & Balance
Long before I went to graduate school, I imagined Blossom & Balance as a space for holistic wellness, a place where we could care for the mind, body, and soul as a whole.
Over the years, that vision has slowly taken shape. Through education, training, and personal growth, I’ve been building the pieces that will eventually allow Blossom & Balance to grow alongside me.
Reiki, hypnotherapy, and soon psychotherapy each offer a different way of reconnecting with ourselves. My hope is to bring these approaches together in a space that honors the whole person, not just one part of them.
While I continue my education and work toward licensure, Blossom & Balance is beginning with the experiences and services I can offer now. This is just the beginning of the vision I’ve had for this space all along.
