This is one of the hardest posts I’ve ever had to write.
After a lot of thought, prayer, and some very difficult conversations, we’ve made the decision to close The Mental Break, with our last day open being November 29th. This choice was not made lightly, but we experienced a medical emergency in our life, and it was the wake-up call I never wanted but desperately needed. My family needs me home, fully present, and that has to come first.
Owning and building The Mental Break has been one of the greatest and most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve met so many amazing people, witnessed powerful moments of healing, and felt so much community support. I can’t thank you all enough for your love, your shares, your bookings, and for believing in this little dream of mine.
Shutting down is truly heartbreaking, but right now my focus has to be on my husband’s recovery and my family.
To everyone who came to smash, paint, scream, and heal — thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If you have upcoming bookings, gift certificates, or questions, please send me a message directly so I can take care of you.
Thank you all for understanding and for the support you’ve shown us over this past year.
— Patricia, Owner of The Mental Break
