My Purpose:
I created this alternative wellness practice to help women of color achieve holistic wellness from trauma. I recognize that many women of color experience trauma in a variety of forms, and traditional methods of treatment often further perpetuate harm and feelings of marginalization. I utilize non-traditional, alternative, and ancestral methods of healing to help you heal and get in touch with your inner and ancestral power. The healing therapies I currently offer are Reiki, Herbalism, Coaching, and Tarot/Oracle Card Readings. My goal is to work with you to "Create The Life You Deserve."
My Philosophy:
I believe joy, abundance, health, and a life we love are our birthrights. I help you achieve holistic wellness and create the life you desire by working with you to create an individualized plan for your needs. I do this by conducting an initial wellness assessment to understand your areas of concern, and then creating intentional subsequent healing sessions to help you achieve your goals for wellness.
My Story:
I am a Reiki Therapist, Holistic Herbalist, Certified Coach, Certified Trauma Specialist, Intuitive and Holistic Card Reader, Public Speaker, and Published Writer. Additionally, I have a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a bachelor's degree in Allied Health Science with an emphasis in Speech-Language Pathology and a Psychology minor. Most of my professional career has been dedicated to working with women of color. My previous business and professional experiences include owning and operating a mental health private practice servicing predominantly Black women and Queer-identifying persons, as well as working in emergency shelters, intensive outpatient centers, residential facilities, college counseling centers and nonprofit organizations.
My four-step approach to trauma healing was breathed out of my own experiences with physical, mental, and spiritual trauma. My childhood and early young adult life were filled with various forms of abuse, lack, and disappointment. I was able to heal and move past those experiences to create a life worth living for myself. The approaches that I currently utilize with clients helped me to create a life I love through helping me leave toxic relationships, increase my self esteem, have a greater understanding of my purpose and spirituality, create and maintain physical, mental, and emotional health; build and maintain success, create and accomplish goals, and heal from past experiences.
