How did I get here?
Hello beautiful being! I am Adhara Britestar, creator of PlayfulWell and dweller in the magic. How did I get here? Well, not easily for sure and in truth, I’ve always been here. I would describe my experience as a fantastic fairy tale, an angel's adventure, a radical evolutionary epic experience. Growing up in the lush trees and lakes of Tennessee, I was often immersed in a soul-nurturing natural world where I found comfort and connection to spirit.
As a child, I was highly artistic, creative and intelligent and I also experienced some difficult traumas & bullying, which disrupted my sensitive being and so I learned to hide away. Through years and years of living, learning, unraveling and healing I forged my own way. This relationship with living rhythms and connective presence continues to guide my practices and authentic flow. As I learned more about neurodiversity, and received a spectrum diagnosis as an adult, this provided another key for understanding our unique expressions. I believe this lifelong discovery of who we are and what is our purpose is a universal quest, which continues as a spiral towards the center of our soul. We are Sacred in our true nature.
As a body-intuitive practitioner and creative being, I express from a rich background of experience to hopefully inspire all to know- We are worthy of existing and thriving, just as we are. Throughout this adult life, I have been a somatic-based therapist & social worker, women's circle participant and leader, and a yoga/movement teacher and a dancer. And that is just a part of who I am and what I have done. Creating this site sharing my deepest spiritual, creative, playful self and gifts of voice and writing, has been an empowering and also quite vulnerable process. I've come to the place that despite negative conditioning, judgements from others, or cultural false messages....the most powerful ACTION we can do now is to allow ourselves to be seen, even when we have not felt safe to shine. My name came through as a beacon to keep shining like a star (learn more about that on my other website: BloomingStarYoga.com)
I invite you to expand your curiosity, let go of judgements, right/wrongness or assumptions about yourself or others. Ask questions, and explore the mystery. Together, we can co-create a better world sharing our gifts and singing our songs, tuning into our connection with nature and grounded in Love. The ministry of Playfulwell is to encourage and grow in true nature with community, creativity & music, vocal & sound healing, and intuitive spirit-led guidance. The time has come to live in the magic! Let's Play!!
Blessings and Namaste,
- Adhara
Testimonials
"I was feeling a little stressed out and wanted to find a way to shed some of the anxiety I'd been carrying around, when I found out about Adhara's Somatic Movement workshop. The first thing I noticed was her calming presence and inclusive, welcoming demeanor. She guided us through the first exercise and I felt an immediate sense of belonging.
The experience brought a vibrant sense of expansion that took me beyond the usual limits of self and place. I admire the way Adhara brought this diverse group into alignment, and how the prompts she offered created lots of space for personal individual expression.
I felt peaceful and grounded afterward. I felt in-touch with my emotions and aligned in the core of my body after the workshop. Highly recommend!!"

How did I get here?
Hello beautiful being! I am Adhara Britestar, creator of PlayfulWell and dweller in the magic. How did I get here? Well, not easily for sure and in truth, I’ve always been here. I would describe my experience as a fantastic faery tale, a superhero’s journey, a high priestess path, a radical evolutionary epic experience. Growing up in the lush trees and lakes of Tennessee, I was often immersed in a soul-nurturing natural world where I found comfort and connection to spirit.
As a child, I was highly artistic, creative and intelligent and I also experienced some difficult traumas & bullying, which disrupted my sensitive being and so I learned to hide away. Through years and years of living, learning, unraveling and healing I forge my own way. This core relationship with living rhythms and connective presence continues to guide my body-intuitive practice and authentic flow. When I understood that I am neurodiverse, and received a spectrum diagnosis as an adult, this provided another key for understanding my creative lens. I believe this lifelong discovery of who we are and what is our purpose is a universal quest, which continues as a spiral towards the center of our soul.
In my professional life, I have served as a Licensed Therapist and Social Worker for over 20 years, working with people to transform trauma and move through life's challenges with somatic-based tools. I am also an artist, a singer/songwriter, a dancer, a yoga teacher and a practitioner of movement, music and magic. As a sacred offering, I equip others to tap into their body wisdom providing intuitive readings, somatic movement and vocal somatics to open your natural sound. All my education, credentials, experiences and mystical musings could be honed into this one jewel of wisdom- The time has come to truly live in the Magic!
Would you like to live your purpose as the naturally playful & creative being you are? Are you ready meet yourself more deeply and increase the flow in your life? You have come to the perfect place. The invitation is your true voice asking to come out and guide you forward. This life is a tale we get to create and explore. Let's Play!!
