Wellness advocate and fitness instructor Melissa Coulier is inviting women across Michigan and beyond to reclaim something they didn’t know they were missing: recess. 

Founded on the belief that “we never grow out of the need for a reset—we just stop giving ourselves permission to take one,” The Recess Club is a free community built around one powerful idea: adults need recess, too, especially women. 

Designed for entrepreneurs, wellness-curious women,

and anyone seeking authentic connection without the price tag of a formal event, The Recess Club offers regular free meetups in nature. Think of it as a moment to move your body, breathe deeply, and surround yourself with like-minded women—no RSVP fees, no pressure, just real connection. To become a member of The Recess Club is free. To join, simply sign up online at www.MelissaCoulier.com 

Whether you’re in Michigan or miles away, members receive: 

• Weekly inspiration emails to pause with intention and reset your nervous system 
• Free local (metro Detroit) meet-up invites that center wellness, movement, and sisterhood 
• Playful prompts to bring more mindfulness, curiosity, and joy into your day 

“The Recess Club is about shifting the narrative,” says founder Melissa Coulier. “Wellness isn’t something you should have to earn or pay for—it’s something we all deserve. We’re creating space for women to step away from their screens, get grounded in nature, and reconnect, with themselves and with each other.” 

From quiet walks in the woods to lakeside breathwork and stretch sessions in the park, Recess Club meetups are gentle reminders that healing can be simple, joyful, and shared. 

Your first step toward reclaiming your recess is absolutely free.

Sign up with your email to receive weekly Recess Club prompts and unlock access to gatherings, giveaways, and that long-lost permission slip to take a break.
