Mental well-being is shaped by more than a single intervention. It is influenced by our relationships, our environment, our biology, and our daily experiences. That's why we built Life Stages around four interconnected pillars:
Nature When we engage our senses and reconnect with the natural world, we become more present, mindful, and attuned to ourselves. Nature helps reduce stress, build self-confidence, and foster a sense of interconnection with our bodies, our communities, and the world around us.
Technology Wellness doesn't happen only in moments of crisis. Technology allows us to provide adaptive, personalized support that meets people in their real-world journeys and evolves alongside their changing needs.
Community Healing and growth do not happen in isolation. Relationships provide support, accountability, and reflection, helping us better understand ourselves while cultivating belonging and meaningful connection.
Science Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and the understanding that mental health is deeply personal. We consider the diverse biological, psychological, and social factors that influence well-being, helping people develop sustainable skills that create lasting change.
Together, these four pillars create a holistic model of wellness that empowers people not only to feel better but also to build the skills, resilience, and connections needed to thrive through every life stage.
Our partners at Neuro Base Camp co-hosted our first-ever Portland event as we helped individuals of all abilities get outdoors . Folks experiencing, advocating for, researching, and/or curious about neurological difficulties and brain/spinal cord injuries were able to connect and create community.

Life Stages Founder, Zulma Terrones, facilitated an employee wellness workshop for local Bay Area nonprofits - Skate Like a Girl and Brown Girl Surf. The event, sponsored by REI and Hipcamp was a fantastic experience and a win to normalize mental health and wellness in the workplace.
Being able to do a leadership / mental health workshop out in nature is a dream come true! Zulma is an amazing facilitator and I really appreciated that she customized the workshop to our group's needs. I really loved the emotion wheel handout, having that as a visual was a great touch!
Our Meet & Greet events are a great way to learn more about Life Stages, our mission, and upcoming Life Adventures, while picking up exclusive swag along the way.
Thank you so much ZY for your work in the world, it is so important and needed and I loved the way you held space in the group.

Our first-ever Portland event as we raised awareness and built community for those experiencing, advocating for and/or studying neurological brain injuries. Hosted at Tyron creek, participants engaged in a short all-abilities hike.
I love this… especially for weekly emotional check-in to ground yourself and evaluate how you’re feeling and see what skills you can apply to work through that! No one is perfect— that extra help, it goes a long way!

A relaxing forest bathing hike where participants benefited from mindful breathing exercises, sensory awareness, and a meditative reflective pause to truly take in the beauty and benefits of the forest.
We spent some time at Mission Dolores Park enjoying the sunny day and connecting with our LGBTQIA+ friends. This inter-generational gathering was a great opportunity to casually dive into coming out, dating, and creating an aligned and authentic life.
“I’m not new to this type of instruction, and or any of the themes that were discussed in our workshop, but it was really nice to have a more structured discussion with like-minded individuals, and to share and discuss things that maybe I’ve had trouble with or that I think I can improve on. I really liked the merch we were given– the pamphlets have been helpful in my everyday life since I’ve done the workshop, and I think I will continue to share and use the resources I was given.”
The hike was a good reminder that I need to slow down and pay attention to my own health.
