The Story Behind Double Dutch Therapy
A Message from Our Founder, Selena Cook
Three years ago, I dreamt of bringing the exhilarating sport of Double Dutch to new communities while raising awareness about its transformative impact. What began as a vision turned into a powerful movement with the first-ever Beale Street Double Dutch TAKEOVER in Memphis, TN.
In 2022, 2023, and 2024, women from all over the country came together to reclaim their joy and childhood memories through the ropes. Beale Street lit up with laughter, energy, and over 200 like-minded women uniting for a shared passion. These events became legendary, sparking the creation of the Double Dutch Therapy national movement.
Today, Double Dutch Therapy is thriving across cities like:
Los Angeles, California
Riverside, California
San Diego, California
Dover, Delaware
Newark, Delaware
Seaford, Delaware
Chicago, Illinois
Gary, Indiana
Batesville, Mississippi
And of course, Memphis, Tennessee.
Our mission is simple: to create a safe, joyful space where women over 39 can rediscover their inner child, reconnect with their community, and embrace life with positivity and purpose.
What is Double Dutch Therapy?
At its core, Double Dutch Therapy is about more than jumping ropes. It’s a movement designed for women over 39 a chance to laugh, connect, and rediscover what it means to live fully.
Founder Selena Cook, who has been formally recognized by the State of Tennessee Senate, saw the impact Double Dutch could have on women’s mental and physical well-being. From retired women rediscovering joy to those seeking connection and purpose, Double Dutch Therapy offers an inclusive and uplifting experience.
As Selena says:
“Double Dutch was coming back nationwide, and I saw how it was transforming the lives of women. Women who thought they were done with life were suddenly laughing, connecting, and thriving. That’s the magic of Double Dutch Therapy.”
