Sweat, Talk, And Rise Up is a mind-body wellness group for women in Chicago and surrounding areas.

Sweat, Talk, And Rise Up is a mind-body wellness experience designed for women who want to reconnect with themselves through movement, music, emotional expression, and community. The group operates as a collective of several distinct programs hosted by licensed professionals across Chicago, Evanston, and Oak Park, Illinois. One program focuses on trauma and healing related to pregnancy and birth, facilitated by Dr. Corwin, offering a space to articulate lingering impacts and explore real-life issues surrounding the transition of having a baby. Another initiative, hosted by Angie Martin, provides a supportive environment for women navigating the emotional and logistical challenges of returning to work after childbirth, with amenities like outlets and refrigeration for nursing mothers. Additional offerings include a creative arts course based on The Artist's Way led by Michel Rosenthal, a mom-focused group utilizing holistic treatment modalities including exercise and nutrition, and specialized trauma support for women of color informed by Dialectical Behavior Therapy and an understanding of systemic oppression. The group also features a perimenopause support circle and a small-group female social support organization called LYFE, which meets twice monthly to discuss mental health and life stressors in an intimate setting. Together, these programs aim to help participants move through their bodies, address unresolved areas, build intersectional solidarity, and foster a healthier lifestyle both physically and mentally.
