Pretty Moving is an emotional health and wellness initiative specifically engineered for the unique pressures of mountain resort communities. Recognizing that the playground of a ski town can also be a site of significant trauma and isolation, the project provides resilience-based coaching, digital tools, and clinical training designed for those on the front lines. Through a dedicated app for first responders and a specialized certification for therapists, Pretty Moving transforms how mountain communities process stress, navigate recovery, and build lasting emotional endurance.
Blue Ridge Collaborative’s Role
Blue Ridge Collaborative is partnering with Jenn Fortin of Pretty Moving to develop messaging, digital infrastructure, and the core clinical curriculum. Our collaboration will refine the Pretty Moving narrative and visual identity to ensure it resonates with the rugged culture of first responders and the professional requirements of the medical community.
BRC is helping to design a custom app and online community platform to deliver real-time resilience tips and peer support directly to ski town first responders. We are assisting in developing a formal certification and curriculum for therapists, which will equip them with specialized tools, such as bilateral stimulation techniques, to treat the unique patient populations found in high-altitude environments.
