Muse: A Space for Connection, Growth, and Healing
Research shows that the number one predictor of a long and happy life is having warm social connections. Muse is a unique space where individuals can build those connections while also working toward personal and professional goals.
Muse blends individual wellness with community engagement by offering a beautiful, welcoming environment for both professional services and social gatherings. From dance and painting classes to knitting circles, mental health workshops, and wellness retreats, Muse nurtures mental, physical, and social well-being through approachable and affordable programming.
Our services include arts-based clinical mental health therapy grounded in research, massage therapy, and a range of community events focused on health and connection. We aim to foster a strong community presence through workshops, social dance events, and creative group activities that promote joy, self-expression, and mutual support.
With a focus on fun and holistic health, Muse is designed to engage the body, enrich the mind, inspire the soul, and support healing and personal growth. More than a wellness center, Muse is a place where people come to feel whole, forge meaningful relationships, and be truly inspired.

With a myriad of services housed together, there is increased sense of privacy as others would not know if a client is visiting Muse for a massage, art class, mental health counseling, or even sitting in the inviting space to do work (and in the future enjoy coffee or tea).
By incorporating the arts, massage, group and individual sessions, and social events, there is a diverse approach one’s health concerns, and with this, an increased chance of building a relationship to facilitate meaningful change within an individual while also creating many opportunities for meaningful social connections to form (an element which is often lacking in other establishments, despite it being a crucial element of well-being).

Once a location is secured other members of the team will be added. There is interest from a somatic movement professional who would like to relocate to the Cleveland area from Texas to join this team. Another dance/movement therapist is currently in the process to become fully licensed and wishes to join the team along with a local, established art therapist. There are currently two licensed dance/movement therapists in the Cleveland area, and soon to be three, but Jenny Eish is the only one with full dual licensure to accept insurance, and the remaining two are interested in joining the Muse team, which would make Muse the home of all licensed dance/movement therapists in the Cleveland area.
Muse be inspired is a privately held corporation. It is registered in Ohio as a state LLC, with Jenny Eish, LPCC, R-DMT, Somatic therapist, as sole proprietor.
