I’m a mom of three, a caregiver, and an advocate who routinely forgets where I put my peace. I walked into Pause West Nashville during their grand opening basically held together by caffeine, cortisol, and thinking my sense of calm had gone out to get milk.
First of all: the staff greets me like I’m Dolly. The smiles alone were enough to lower my inflamed nervous system that's been waiting for the perfect moment to run away from my body. They give actual helpful tips, not the “drink more water” advice I already ignore (but now after my regular visits, I'm naturally drinking more water without thinking about it). Past the point of no return? Their Ivs are delightful.
And listen — Pause has the SAME recovery tools that professional football players use. If the NFL uses cryotherapy, floats, and red light to survive being slammed into by 300-lb humans, then I figure it can handle the daily tackle routine of motherhood. Spoiler: it did.
I’m a caregiver to an Autistic child, and research says we have stress levels like combat soldiers. I believe it. I felt that burnout in my soul. But with Pause’s flexible hours, I can finally without guilt sneak in self-care in.
I even survived their cold plunge contrast like a warrior queen. Mind over matter thanks to the guided meditation… or maybe mind over “I refuse to let these kids or my circumstances take me out.”
The aromatherapy? A cosmic kiss. The products? Holistic and gorgeous. The private suites? I would like to move in. And parking? Shockingly easy — I literally pull up curbside like I own the place. I found a lot across the street today that I will be using when my parallel parking skills aren't up for performing their own standup comedy routine.
Also, the Aescape robotic massage is wild. It’s like being hugged by a robot that's psychic. It remembers your preferences better than my husband.
Pause has everything in one place.
It’s where burnt-out moms go to rise from the ashes.
It’s where caregivers can exhale for the first time in months.
It's where phones are forgotten and your spirit is freed.
It’s where people like me remember we exist outside the chaos.
I walked in with my nervous system shutting down.
I left feeling invigorated and with the toxins leaving my body.
And that’s the greatest gift any wellness studio could give.
It’s my new sanctuary, and I have the non pressured membership to prove it. 12/10 recommend.

Erin took care of me and gave me a tour on my first day! Friendly and accomodating staff! ⭐️ Bought their discovery package can't wait to come back.
Had a great experience here, best place to come for IV's, friendly staff and very clean space.
Obsessed with Pause! They have all the wellness modalities you could want in one place. I used the float tank and compression boots multiple times during pregnancy and they were a total lifesaver. Pause has been a huge part of my postpartum healing journey. And definitely try the robotic massage — it’s surprisingly amazing!
