Modality: A Safe Space for the Neurodivergent Soul

I’ve always had a thousand passions running through my mind, one right after the other—spinning, spiraling, blooming into full-blown obsessions that gave me life and purpose. That’s the nature of being neurodivergent. Our brains don’t always operate in the typical way, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Because from that wiring—from my intense love of learning, of feeling, of sensing everything so deeply—Modality was born.

Modality isn’t just a Pilates studio or a wellness space. It’s my sanctuary. One of my many special interests turned into a mission—a place where people like me, people with quirks and colors and sensitivities, could finally breathe. We created a space where the energy matters, where we keep the vibe right, because when you’re neurodivergent, you feel everything. Rude energy, shady actions, side-eyes, whispers—they hit differently. And in the world outside, we’re often expected to “just deal with it.” But here? At Modality, you don’t have to.

This is a space of acceptance, for every “odd,” “nerdy,” or “too much” person out there who’s ever been made to feel like they didn’t belong. We welcome your stim toys, your quiet days, your passion tangents, your silence, your sparkle. We welcome the ones who love deeply, speak loudly, or barely speak at all. Everyone is welcome here.

But what’s not welcome?

Hate. Mirror aggression. Jealousy. Envy. Deception.

We don’t do mean girl energy. We don’t judge your clothes, your body, your past, your tone, or your silence. We don’t do cliques. We don’t do labels.

We do love.

We do respect.

We do safe vibes only.

At Modality, supporting other women is the standard, not the exception. That looks like complimenting a stranger’s smile, saying hello when you walk in the room, noticing someone and not dismissing them. That looks like encouraging someone through their first class instead of sizing them up. That looks like holding space for each other, no matter what part of the journey you’re on.

There is no competition here. No status. No hierarchy. Just community.

As someone with neurodivergence, I know what it’s like to walk into a space and feel like I don’t belong—like my energy is “too intense,” my thoughts “too deep,” or my interests “too much.” Modality was my way of saying never again. Not just for me, but for all of us.

This is our place.

Welcome home.
