Loved the opportunity to chat about my favorite things with @birminghamcitylifestyle - life, love, healing, nature, and my slightly unhinged belief that adults need recess just as much as kids do!!

Thank you to my girl, Dawn @expandmarketinggroup, Birmingham Lifestyle Magazine for the space, and to Lynne for the thoughtful interview. Brooke and Kristin for making the story come to life visually.

Watching this mission (Recess Club) reach new people never gets old. If it nudges even one person to step outside and remember how to play, that’s the whole point.

Hi, I’m Melissa Coulier — I’m so glad you’re here!
If you’re new — or it’s been a minute — welcome (or welcome back) to my little corner of the internet. This is a judgement-free zone made for movement that mends, food that fuels, and reminders that you’re never walking this road alone.

And yes, to answer the DM I get most — I’m married to @dcoulier. He really is that kind and that funny (and yep, I’m the luckiest).

If you’re looking for perfectly curated content and daily posts… I might not be your girl. You’ll get doses of randomness — in true Gemini fashion. If you’re craving joy without pressure, movement without punishment, and wellness that fits your actual real life, you’re in the right place!

I wear a few hats — and a lot of sneakers:
• I co-founded @livewellleadwell.us, where we host retreats and seminars to help women leaders reclaim their energy and clarity.
• I created Recess Club, a free movement meetup in Michigan — because grown-ups need play, too. (visit melissacoulier.com to join!)
• I’m a certified movement coach helping people feel at home in their bodies again.
• I’m also a speaker, sharing stories that spark healing, laughter, and a radical return to what really matters.
• And I’m still an image-taker at heart, always capturing beauty in the in-between moments.

Here’s a little of what you’ll find here: • Feel-good movement (never just for aesthetics — always for healing) • Real food, no guilt (fries and greens are both welcome) • Functional fitness and breathwork to reconnect with your body • Nature, hot springs, and the occasional rock climbing moment • Honest reflections on relationships, grief, healing, and the joy in the messy middle • Encouragement to take “recess” breaks that bring you back to yourself

This is a space for softness and strength. For slowing down and showing up. For letting go of the “perfect” version of wellness — and stepping into one that actually lasts.

So… scroll around. Drop a 👋🏼 if you’re new. Tell me where you’re tuning in from — and what we have in common. by @melissacoulier

October we often see pink ribbons on full display, food, products and services. But at this event, the pink ribbon was worn on the souls of every woman who attended Recess Club’s @henryfordhealth breast cancer awareness event to support those walking this journey.

Thank you, to the women who showed up full of strength, resilience and passion. Thank you for Henry Ford Health for partnering with Recess Club to bring this meaningful experience to life.

Walking in nature, meditating and journaling lake side, nourishing our bodies and minds with community!

Thank you @urgejuice for keeping our bodies strong with your immunity boosters. Thank you Jasmine @livinformedia for capturing the essence of this beautiful day.

This is why AwearMarket exists.

Our founder, Dave, has faced cancer, and both times, catching it early is what saved his life. Twice.

That experience changed everything for us. It's why we're so passionate about what goes *on* and *into* your body, and just as passionate about the things no product can do for you: listening to your body and showing up for your check-ups.

This October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and all month we're sharing what we've learned. Not with fear. With love, and a little nudge.

Be Awear. Your health is worth it. 💗

Dear Detroit,

Last night was a full house—no pun intended—as Michiganders came together for the first @theconeydetroit . As a University of Michigan graduate, it meant so much to be in that room.

The evening was a reminder that the arts are not an “extra” or a “nice to have.” They help make us well-rounded, happy human beings. Every child deserves the chance to experience that.

New York will always be my city, but Detroit has a special place in my heart. Let’s normalize calling more than one place home. And, as you know I believe, there’s no place like home. (You knew I had to get that in.)

Thank you to Denise Ilitch for bringing this weekend together and for being the ultimate girls’ girl, supporter, and hype woman. And to Melissa and Dave: here’s to all the beautiful adventures still to come. ❤️ by @melissacoulier

This past July, Recess Club x Henry Ford Health came together for a really special morning centered around cancer, caregiving + whole-person wellness.

The Integrative Health Care team shared how movement, nutrition, acupuncture, rest, nature, and emotional well-being can support us through prevention, treatment + life after cancer. I shared a little about my caregiving journey, and @dcoulier joined us to talk openly about his cancer experience and the holistic, integrative practices he incorporated alongside treatment.

If this season has taught us anything, it’s this: modern medicine + holistic wellness can beautifully exist together. One doesn’t have to replace the other. There is so much power in caring for the whole person.

And… we get to do it again on October 3rd! This time, we’re gathering around breast cancer, with an incredible group of voices we can’t wait to introduce. Join us for Recess in nature to move, learn, connect + spend a little time in community with us.

RSVP at Recess-Club.com

Still feeling so grateful for an incredible weekend in Napa with @thevfoundation. ❤️

We’re always honored to weave wellness into the ecosystem of this weekend, to create space for movement, nourishment, connection, and a reminder that caring for ourselves is part of caring for our whole health.

From leading two mornings of sunrise flow to offering our signature mocktails throughout the weekend as a more nourishing alternative, it was so special to see the beautiful synergy between holistic wellness and Western medicine.

And, of course, we learned from some of the most brilliant doctors who have devoted their careers to the pursuit of victory over cancer. Their expertise, passion, and commitment are beyond inspiring.

We feel incredibly lucky to be part of a weekend that brings together wellness, science, generosity, and so much hope. And to see this community come together to raise $6.8 MILLION for game-changing cancer research? Truly incredible!! by @melissacoulier
