Pause/Recharge is a 60-min. guided stress relief class that balances the body and boosts your mood.

(Please note: I changed the name to Recharge since I found several other wellness businesses called Pause, but it already stuck in Woodstock so I am keeping it!) Check out the vibe:

Feeling Stuck in Stress Mode? Let’s Shift That—For Real.

Most approaches to stress and burnout keep us stuck in the thinking brain—talking about the problem but not actually changing how we feel. My work is different. As a somatic guide, I help you bypass the overthinking loop and work directly with your body’s stored stress responses and old patterns—where the real shifts happen.

Through simple, science-backed practices, you’ll learn how to reset your nervous system, build true resilience, and feel more grounded, confident, and alive. Think of me as the fairy godmother of high-achievers who want to make the world better—without setting themselves on fire in the process. 🔥✨

Come experience what’s possible.

Third Thursday of each month with Carolyn Barnwell— stress resilience trainer, leadership coach and somatic guide at Stock Goods pop-up space in Woodstock, VT.

This is a sliding scale community offer $5-25.

What People Are Saying

“I miss it when I can’t go. This may sound weird, but you know how if you hire someone to clean your house, you end up tidying up and getting things ready for cleaning? And it just creates a kind of accountability and shifts the energy? Pause feels that way. It’s like a backstop that ensures things don’t go from ‘normal-level chaos’ to ‘completely unmanageable’ because you’re building the support in, and even getting myself there feels like a commitment to shift the energy. Pause does that for my soul and keeps me from getting overloaded.” — Liz

“Going to Carolyn’s Pause class was a huge turning point for me ... It’s so good, it’s almost addicting.”

— Laura

“As a native Southern Californian I have tried a LOT of modalities. Carolyn’s Pause class is the first I’ve seen to integrate so many different practices to facilitate nervous system integration in a readily accessible way. Pause makes me a better parent, partner and professional, and I am excited to share it with those I love.”

We stretch and breathe, but don't usually get sweaty. We step away from the details of life and work to reconnect to what’s important to our true selves. We laugh to get the endorphins flowing and for the immune-boosting benefits of joy and connection. We’re building resilience.
