IT’S OFFICIAL… OUR FIRST 9D BREATHWORK JOURNEY IS OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT!

FULL SYSTEM RESET | 9D Breathwork Experience

Sometimes life asks so much of us that we forget what it feels like to simply let go.

This immersive 67-minute journey is an invitation to release what feels heavy, break free from old patterns, reconnect with yourself, and create space for renewal.

Through a powerful combination of breathwork, immersive sound, guided experiences, and intentional release, you’ll be invited to experience something truly different.

I’m incredibly excited to bring this experience to Ascend Wellness FIT Studio and to hold space for each of you as we begin this journey together.

✨ ENROLLMENT IS NOW LIVE! ✨

We are keeping this first experience intentionally intimate.

🤎 Only 11 total spaces — and our first spot has already been claimed! Just 10 remain!

📲 How to reserve your space:

Open the Ascend Wellness Fit Studio app → Go to Enrollments → Select Full System Reset → Reserve your spot! (Make sure you are fully logged in to view and register)

No previous breathwork experience is required, but this is an advanced, intense journey and health screening is required before participation.

Come as you are. Bring what you’re carrying. Leave room for something new.

I cannot wait to share this with you.

With gratitude,
Melinda Howe
Certified 9D Breathwork Facilitator

Let go. Breathe. Begin again.

Wednesday Addams stopped by the Downtown Treat Trail and even showed off her iconic dance moves! 🕷️

Definitely one of our favorite moments of the day! We loved the costume AND the performance! 🖤

INTRODUCING CAITLYN (VOGEL) MEDALEN!

Please join us in welcoming Caitlyn (Vogel) Medalen, a graduate Family Nurse Practitioner, to the Ascend Wellness MBS team!

Born and raised in Minot, ND, Caitlyn earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Minot State University in 2022 before pursuing her Master of Science in Nursing through Chamberlain University.

With four years of experience in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Caitlyn developed a passion for supporting women and families through some of life’s most meaningful transitions. Her own experience navigating graduate school while raising two little ones deepened her understanding of the unique challenges of motherhood.

Her clinical interests include:

* Women’s health through every stage of life
* Puberty and adolescent health
* Postpartum care and the “fourth trimester”
* Primary care and preventive wellness

Outside of work, Caitlyn enjoys spending time with her high school sweetheart, Mark, their two children, Moxx and Millie, and their two Goldendoodles!

Caitlyn is excited to join Ascend Wellness MBS, where she looks forward to educating, collaborating, and helping patients feel heard, supported, and cared for through every season of life.

📞 Interested in becoming a patient of Caitlyn’s? While her official start date and scheduling availability are still being finalized, we’re already gathering an interest list!

Call (701)852-5070 today to add your name, and we’ll share scheduling updates as they become available.

We can’t wait for you to meet her!

WELL, WELL, WELL… HERE WE GROW AGAIN! 🦄

Remember that RN unicorn we were looking for?

WE FOUND ONE! 🎉

And apparently, one unicorn wasn’t enough… because we’re making room for ANOTHER experienced RN to join our Ascend Wellness MBS team!

No, we’re not collecting nurses like Pokémon. 😂

But when you’re building a team of incredible humans, you get pretty excited about finding more of them!

And yes… we’re still going to be a little picky. 😉

Because here’s the thing…

We can teach you our protocols. We can’t teach you to genuinely care about people, love your teammates, or see the brighter side of a challenging day.

We’re looking for the nurse who:

Has solid clinical experience. ICU, ER, or critical care? We like you already!

Can start an IV with confidence, bonus points if you’re the one everyone calls for the tricky ones.

Loves visiting with patients and believes that making someone feel heard is part of great healthcare.

Sees a problem and starts looking for solutions instead of reasons something can’t be done.

Notices the little things. The empty supply bin. The crooked label. The room that needs tidying. And just takes care of it.

Knows that asking for help is a strength, sharing ideas makes everyone better, and nobody is too important to jump in and help.

Can laugh, have fun, and occasionally embrace a little organized chaos.

Gets excited about learning new things and exploring healthcare beyond the traditional box.

NOW, LET’S TALK ABOUT OUR TEAM. ❤️

At Ascend, our team isn’t just part of what makes us special.

Our team IS what makes us special.

We collaborate. We trust each other’s ideas. We ask questions. We challenge ourselves to improve. We celebrate wins, work through challenges, and believe there’s almost always a better way to do something.

And we want to have fun along the way!

We’re not looking for someone who just wants to clock in, complete a checklist, and head home.

We’re looking for someone who wants to belong, contribute, grow, and make the people around them better.

THE DETAILS:

Approximately 25 hours per week, with potential for additional hours in the future if desired.

Experienced RN required; ICU, ER, or critical care experience is a big plus.

A little bit of everything — IV therapy, integrative and functional medicine, mental health treatments, procedures, and plenty of opportunities to learn.

📍 Ascend Wellness MBS | Minot, ND

ONE FINAL WARNING…

If you genuinely enjoy an organized workspace, love a good conversation, find yourself straightening things that are crooked, and believe the best workdays involve great teammates and a little laughter…

You might be our kind of weird. And we mean that as the highest compliment.

These positions don’t come along often at Ascend. We’re intentional about the people we bring onto our team because the people make the place.

We found a great addition to our team, and now we’re excited to find another!

So if you’re reading this thinking, “Well, that sounds suspiciously like me…”

SEND US YOUR RÉSUMÉ TO [email protected] 💌

Tell us about your experience, but don’t forget to tell us a little about YOU.

P.S. If you’re the nurse who organizes the supply drawers for fun, please identify yourself immediately. We have questions.

❤️ Ascend Wellness MBS
Better People. Brighter Tomorrows.

This is something near and dear to Melinda’s heart.

* Medication management when appropriate

* Advanced InBody 770 body composition analysis

* Personalized nutrition and lifestyle guidance
