Candace Machado - Theraexpressions Meditation
Ten years ago, Candace stood at a crossroads. Working in psychiatric facilities as a social worker, she felt called to something deeper: something more connected, more healing and more personal. That search led her to a Buddhist monastery, where her spiritual journey began and a new vision took root. From a small orange corner of the world, Theraexpressions Meditation was born.
What started as a personal path of discovery has since grown into a vibrant, one-of-a-kind wellness space known simply as the Orange Room. This sacred space is home to a growing TheraCommunity, people of all backgrounds drawn to healing, empowerment and self-discovery through a fusion of mental health support and holistic practices.
Candace’s approach is unique. Theraexpressions blends meditation, yoga (including aerial), Ayurveda and private deconstruction sessions with mental health-informed care. It’s a place where people feel supported, seen and safe to explore their stories. “OM your mental health,” Candace says with a smile. “Because here, spiritual practice and emotional wellness go hand in hand.”
Whether it’s in a cozy class in Casper or on a transformative international retreat, the heart of the work is the same: walking alongside others as they heal, grow and connect with themselves and with others. The TheraCommunity isn’t just a program. “It’s a lifestyle,” Candace explains. “It’s a community.”
After a decade of guiding others, Candace’s definition of success is simply to find peace and help others find theirs, too. This fall, she’ll mark the business’ 10-year anniversary with an all-women-led trek to Mount Everest Base Camp, a bold celebration of how far the Orange Room has come.
This year, she’s focusing on growing OM Your Mental Health, her free app available in 176 countries on Apple and Google Play. With live classes, real conversations, affirmations, a video library, self-care tracker and community chats, the app offers accessible support for mental and emotional well-being. Candace also sees continued growth through more international retreats and speaking engagements, always anchored in the same values that brought her here: healing, connection and the courage to choose peace.
