Healing & Wellness Programs
Equity also means caring for the people doing the work.
My Healing & Wellness Programs bring trauma-informed movement, mindfulness, and wellness practices to staff teams and community groups. Sessions are culturally grounded, accessible, and designed to support resilience and collective healing.
Cultural Doula Support
I offer full-spectrum care for African and immigrant families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. This work includes culturally aligned advocacy, system navigation, and collaboration with healthcare providers.
Mindfulness Through Movement
Yoga, dance, and breathwork sessions are grounded in pan-African traditions. These sessions support the release of trauma held in the body and help participants reconnect with joy, rhythm, and rest.
Mindful Self-Defense
Empowerment sessions focused on awareness, boundary-setting, assertive communication, and embodied safety. Designed especially with survivors, women, and youth in mind — and open to anyone seeking to move through the world with greater confidence and clarity
Women’s Storytelling & Writing Circles
Our monthly two-hour gatherings are safe, in-person spaces for women to explore their stories through both spoken word and writing. Each circle offers guided prompts, time to write, and an optional sharing round where participants can present their words and be witnessed with care.
We focus on the experiences that shape identity — resilience, migration, survival, motherhood, and belonging — while also honoring the intersections of joy, culture, and healing. Participation is limited to keep the circle intimate, and advance registration is required.
Wellness is how we remember who we are — before the trauma, before the systems, before we were told to be small. It’s where we come home to our bodies, our breath, and our power.
