FM Wellness Collective

09/10/2026

A little behind-the-scenes sneak peek… 👀

There is A LOT happening at FM Wellness Collective right now—and some of it we haven’t shared yet.

Over the past few months, we’ve been thinking deeply about what we’ve built here in Fargo-Moorhead, what’s working, what our community needs, and what this could become.

And we’re making some pretty big moves. ✨

Behind the scenes, we’re currently:

→ Restructuring how the Collective works
→ Building a brand-new website + digital experience
→ Rethinking membership to make it easier to be part of our community
→ Creating even more ways to discover and connect with local wellness resources
→ Building a structure that could bring this kind of wellness community to places beyond Fargo-Moorhead 👀

What started as an idea to simply bring our local wellness community together has grown into something much bigger than we originally imagined.

But one thing isn’t changing:

We believe wellness is better when it’s local, connected, collaborative, and human.

FM is where this all started—and we’re incredibly excited about what we’re building next.

More soon. 🤍

Meet Karly Kalstad, the new FM Wellness Collective chapter director✨✨✨✨

What first drew you into the wellness space?

Honestly, my own healing journey. I’ve gone through a lot of ups & downs in my life where I felt lost, disconnected, and purely in survival mode. Eventually I realized something had to change if I was ever going to feel better. That led me down a path of exploring spirituality, talk thereapy, nervous system healing, energy work, holisitice healing, esoteric work, and all the little things that helped me feel like me again.

What made you want to step into the role of Chapter Director for the FM Wellness Collective?

I fell in love with FM Wellness Collective after the first networking gathering I attended. I had been trying some other groups around town, but they never really felt like the right fit. Once I found the Collective, I knew I was “home.”

This Collective has brought me some of my greatest friendships, some amazing clients, and experiences I hold close to my heart. So when Melissa approached me with this incredible opportunity, I knew I couldn’t turn it down.

I’m incredibly honored and excited to step into this new chapter with this amazing community that has had such a deep impact on my journey.

What are you most excited about in this new role?

The people! I’m excited to build on what Melissa has created by continuing to bring people together, create spaces where we can connect, collaborate, and support one another, and make wellness feel a little more accessible and less intimidating.

I’m also excited to grow my skillset, step into this new role, and really make a difference in our Fargo-Moorhead community.

If you could give our community one little piece of wellness wisdom, what would it be?

You’re allowed to slow down, step out of the norm, ask for help, and make changes simply because you want to. There’s no other explanation required.

Allow yourself to become 1,000 different versions of yourself in this one lifetime. It really is that simple. We just tend to make things incredibly difficult for ourselves.

…knowing you don’t have to do it all alone. ✨

🔮✨ TAROT AS A MIRROR: A TOOL FOR SELF-EXPLORATION & INNER KNOWING ✨🔮

One of the articles we’re especially excited to share from the latest FM Wellness Quarterly Connection Magazine is “Tarot as a Mirror: A Tool for Self-Exploration & Inner Knowing” by Lisa Madsen.

Lisa is an integral part of FM Wellness Collective’s leadership team and has been deeply involved in helping us think through strategy, growth, and where we’re headed next.

And one of my favorite things? Sometimes our strategy meetings involve a tarot spread. 🤩🔮

There is genuinely something so powerful about pulling a card when you’re working through a big question. It doesn’t have to be about predicting the future or finding a magical “answer.” Instead, it gives you a different lens. It makes you pause, reflect, notice your reaction, and sometimes uncover something you already knew but hadn’t quite put into words.

Honestly, I’m starting to think every strategy meeting needs a tarot or oracle deck✨✨✨

That’s exactly what Lisa explores in her article: tarot as a mirror for self-exploration, reflection, and tapping into your own inner knowing.

Connection is part of health.

We talk a lot about the things we can do for our health.

Move our bodies. Eat well. Get enough sleep. Manage stress. Go to therapy. Make the appointment.

But we talk less about something humans have needed for as long as we’ve existed: each other.

Connection isn’t just something that makes life more enjoyable. Feeling known, supported, and part of something matters to our wellbeing.

And yet, wellness can sometimes feel strangely isolating.

You’re handed a diagnosis and left to figure out what comes next. You know you need support, but you don’t know who to call. You’re a practitioner doing meaningful work, but you barely know the other people doing complementary work right down the street.

That’s part of why FM Wellness Collective exists.

Not because we believe there is one right way to be well, or because every problem needs another wellness practice.

But because navigating our health is easier when we know where to turn, who we can trust, and that we don’t have to figure everything out by ourselves.

We’re building stronger connections between people, practitioners, resources, and the community we live in.

Because connection isn’t an extra.

Connection is part of health. 🌿
