Organizations we’ve supported
Mental Health Support for the People that Care for People
Are you an exhausted teacher, social worker, nonprofit staff etc? Are you interested in learning tools to help manage stress, recover from burnout, and reduce guilt? We provide individual mental health therapy, workshops, and retreats to help create balance in the lives of those that give their all to support our communities.
Our Services
We provide self-care retreats to help Black and Brown people that do community facing work get the care, revitalization, and rest they need. We lead meditation, movement, and therapeutic conversations that help participants release their burdens and focus in on themselves.
Retreats
DEI Workshops and Consulting
We lead DEI & Social Justice Workshops to help organizations, schools, and companies become healthy environments for all of their employees, students, and clients. We know that DEI support is more than theoretical, it’s about implement everyday practices that can improve staff morale and psychological safety.

Reviews of our services
Self-care workshop
"I'm a different person. I've lost 8 pounds, I've stopped drinking, and I pass this joy on. People keep asking me what I'm doing. I tell them I'm staying alive by taking small bits of the day to love myself…. I feel more centered in my mind and body."
———————————————
"You are clear, thoughtful, real, sharp as hell, and use humor really effectively. I appreciated the structure of the training as well. I would love to attend your future workshops/trainings (on a variety of topics) and will look out for them."
