Who can benefit from coaching?

  • Are you a black woman who is looking to reconnect with ancestral wisdom as you navigate your journey to wellness?
  • Are you a black woman who is looking to heal from racial trauma?
  • Are you a black woman healer who finds herself in need of healing?
  • Are you someone who has struggled to navigate systems that were not designed with our unique cultural needs in mind?

​If you answered 'yes' to any of those questions and you are looking for culturally relevant strategies for reclaiming your emotional health, this coaching program is for you. Options are available for group and individual coaching.

What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

The goal of the coach is to motivate and inspire you to reach your full potential. This time-limited, future oriented approach is helpful for those who are seeking to learn lifestyle practices that promote physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Coaching is not a substitute for individual therapy and is not intended to diagnose or treat mental illness. If you are currently struggling with severe symptoms of major depressive disorder, anxiety or post traumatic stress disorder, it is important that you seek the appropriate level of care in the form of counseling, psychotherapy, and/or psychiatric treatment in addition to wellness coaching.
