So we focus on 6 domains:
Emotional Wellness
Relational Wellness
Professional Wellness
Sexual Wellness
Spiritual Wellness
Physical Wellness
Giving attention to all aspects of yourself is the key to thriving!
Just as Black women are non-monolithic, neither are our solutions. Your experience will not be “cookie cutter” and perfection is not the goal.
We know very well of our magic and mysticism, challenges and choices, as well as the visible and invisible forces that stifle our wellbeing. So we take on that complexity, and provide services and programming that is real, relatable and relevant.
WE HAVE A RANGE OF SERVICES TO SUIT YOUR GROWTH
ABOUT THE ELD WORKSHOP
Black women are faced with a unique set of challenges on their leadership journeys. That is, managing the extra burden of “the invisible forces” (i.e., ongoing microaggressions, conscious and unconscious biases, an overwhelming amount of white fragility and anti-blackness, and a consistent pull from a system that demands they show up as a fraction of themselves).
Black women are taught the solutions to navigating these challenges are to lean into white dominant values. This solution is not only unsustainable and dehumanizing, but is associated with an increase in poor mental health outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and burnout. The ELD workshop was created to provide a solution that honors your humanity, centers wellness, and equips you with the skills to manage the invisible forces in the workplace.
The ELD workshop centers the psychological safety of Black women leaders and equips them with the skills to become a transformative leader despite a challenging work environment.

INDIVIDUAL SERVICES
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Too often, women are so busy nurturing their families, communities, teams, and businesses they do not prioritize their mental health and well-being. So busy getting it done by any means necessary, blazing trails, steering the vision for organizations, and taking care of others needs, we do not give ourselves permission to pause and reflect. That pause is so critical because it allows us the space to reflect on the state of OUR health, identify stuck points & ways of being that hinder our growth, and identify the work that needs to be done to evolve into a higher version of self. For that very reason, we offer individual therapy to women who are ready to give to themselves with the same fierceness and dedication they give to others.
We specialize in helping you overcome the following challenges:
Frequent cycles of burnout, struggling to effectively manage stress and overwhelming emotions, difficulty with being vulnerable and asking for what you need, challenges with boundaries, and feeling ill equipped to pursue sex and pleasure.
We help you to build emotional intelligence, communicate effectively, practice vulnerability, set and implement effective boundaries, and learn to identify, pursue, and honor your needs.
