services are offered through individual appointments, while others are designed to encourage shared experiences and community. Couples can book massage, Reiki and sound healing together, and MEND\u2019s yoga program gives members a consistent place to practice, meet others and connect with the broader wellness collective. Yoga members also receive preferred pricing on select services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne thing I\u2019ve learned through years of teaching yoga is that people are looking for more than a class. They want to feel like they belong somewhere,\u201d Elinore said. \u201cAt MEND, that means knowing the people you practice alongside and having practitioners who know you and can connect with one another. We wanted to create a place where those relationships can grow over time and become part of how you care for yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083555\/8.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"683\"  height=\"1024\"  data-id=\"10254\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-10254 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083555\/8-683x1024.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083555\/8-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083555\/8-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083555\/8-767x1151.jpg 767w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083555\/8-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083555\/8-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083555\/8-379x569.jpg 379w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083555\/8-800x1199.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083555\/8-1160x1739.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083555\/8-80x120.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083555\/8-53x80.jpg 53w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083555\/8.jpg 3371w\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083546\/4.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"1536\"  data-id=\"10252\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-10252 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083546\/4-683x1024.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083546\/4-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083546\/4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083546\/4-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083546\/4-380x570.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083546\/4-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083546\/4-80x120.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083546\/4-53x80.jpg 53w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/22083546\/4.jpg 1024w\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea for MEND also grew out of Elinore&#8217;s own experience navigating an IVF journey. While medical care was essential, she found herself turning to yoga, acupuncture, Reiki and other practices to support her physical and emotional well-being. Coordinating those different forms of care highlighted how valuable it could be to have them available in one place, alongside a community that understood the complexities of fertility treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI kept thinking about the kind of place I wished I had through my own fertility journey,\u201d she said. \u201cA place where I could care for my body, quiet my mind, feel supported emotionally and be around people who understood what I was going through.
