Women's Wellness Atlanta

As I celebrate Juneteenth today by prioritizing my wellness through rest and play, I have been meditating on these words by @octaviaraheem. What are you holding onto that is not yours? What can you release today?

Just the medicine my soul needs to gather itself. Thank you @octaviaraheem for sharing your heart and helping me know my own more fully! To my clients: this is a perfect addition to your quiet reflective time, journaling practice and/or morning routine.

As I have been holding space for my clients, family, friends, neighbors, and most importantly myself, this truth has continually emerged. Pursuing wellness is an anti-racist act. The very essence of racism strategically robs BlPOC from their basic human right to freely seek wellness. Food deserts, the legacy of slavery in our diets, and the constant physical, emotional, and spiritual trauma of combatting with racism daily are just a few ways in which it robs BIPOC of the phy...sical, economic, cognitive, and emotional resources to pursue wellness in its fullness. And let’s not even get started on the white centeredness that plagues the wellness industry. Black people take care of yourselves! Rest and nurture your body, mind and spirit. Racism wants to render you ineffective. Wellness allows you to keep on pushing. Love to you all! #antiracism #blacklivesmatter #wellness

Today is the day. Grab a mask and head to the polls if you haven’t already cast your ballot. The protests are just one piece of the uprising. #blacklivesmatter #antiracism

There is so much uncertainty for everyone right now. For new parents, there is uncertainty of parenthood on top of the uncertainty related to the COVID pandemic. It’s more than okay to set boundaries. Do what feels comfortable for you and your family!

COVID Update: I hope everyone is safe and well. This update is to let you know that I am still only conducting sessions via Telehealth. In consideration of our collective wellbeing my physical office will remain closed until further notice. Be gentle with yourselves and with one another.

PSI is offering a virtual Pregnancy or Infant Loss Support Group. You are not alone.

A beautifully written piece about the anxiety most of us are holding right now. Breathe, dear ones, breathe.

Take care of yourselves. Social distancing does not have to mean social isolation.

My full COVID-19 response on the website. Here are the main highlights. 1. Temporary HIPPA compliant sessions offered to current clients who are unable or feel uncomfortable coming into the office. 2. I am still offering in person sessions to clients who are not displaying any symptoms and have not traveled internationally. 3. If recommended by the CDC or if the building closes I will temporarily go to a full telehealth model.

Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Take it one breath at a time. Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. There is no right way to grieve. Take it one breath at a time. And know that others are breathing with you. #miscarriage #infantloss #pregnancyloss #waveoflight2019 #grief
