Brush up on TheraPaint Studio, Nashville’s newest wellness concept

Life can be a bit messy, and this Music Row biz is leaning into that in a creative way. Enter: paint throwing.

City Editor Skylar here. My ambitious nature sometimes results in a case of overbooking my calendar — whoops. That’s why a visit to TheraPaint Studio, as suggested by reader Fredricka L., couldn’t have come at a better time.

The new wellness studio opened in June and offers a way to “throw and grow on the Row” — 1613 17 Ave. S. The idea is that you process, release, and leave behind your emotions through the art of paint throwing. You can be as messy as life feels because everything from the canvas to paint supplies are eco-friendly. In fact, Compost Nashville helps turn your creation into fuel for TheraPaint’s meditation garden.

Don’t forget: After you find your post-session zen, you can grab your paint suit to save for future bookings. | Photo by NASHtoday

The experience

Now that I’ve painted you a picture, let me walk you through my time in the studio. Bonus: If you’re more of a visual learner, you can watch NASHtoday’s reel.

  • Step one: After checking in, you’ll select four nontoxic paints (psst — brushes are supplied, too).
  • Step two: The team will lead you to one of the studio’s four private rooms. You can book with your besties, but this is designed to be a solo session.
  • Step three: Put on the provided paint-protective suit, gloves, and goggles. Pro tip: It’s still possible to get some paint on your clothes, so dress with that in mind.
  • Step four: Get to work. You’ll have 45 minutes to let the paint fly. Try to focus your energy on the canvas, but don’t fret if you Picasso a little too hard; the room was designed to be cleaned. It’s also made of sound-dampening materials — so scream, cry, or laugh freely.
  • Step five: Shed your suit inside the throw room and refresh in the attached private bathroom.
  • Step six: Reflect in the meditation garden or spend a moment of mindfulness in the Zen Den.

Book your first session + explore the limited-time founder’s membership, which includes one session each month.
