The Need For Nuance
Nuanced Healing LLC was founded from my personal and professional desire to show up and serve as my authentic self in the health and wellness spaces. I had grown tired of the traditional compartmentalized approach to wellness... (for example, check for safety, apply evidence-based interventions, and refer out for anything that doesn’t neatly fit into the “mind-body” compartments. RINSE & REPEAT).
“Traditional” wellness has its benefits, but it also has frustrating limitations. Our lives aren’t just collections of independent check-off boxes; they consist of countless dynamic factors and experiences. Cultural influences, familial roles, social support, spiritual beliefs, career demands, and access to resources are just a few factors that impact well-being.
While I don’t suggest that every area can or should be “fixed” through holistic wellness, I believe that each aspect of the whole person deserves acknowledgment and respect.
Nuanced Healing’s mission is to compassionately welcome the complexities and dualities of the human experience while increasing the space for authentic and intrinsic healing.
Women Centered Wellness
I am deeply committed to validating and empowering women. The challenges and opportunities we encounter often come with more criticism than guidance and support.
It appears that everyone with a microphone and an internet connection has strong opinions about what defines “proper femininity” or "successful womanhood." Black women face especially severe critiques and unrealistic expectations.
Nuanced Healing focuses on creating safe spaces for women, with a specific emphasis on supporting Black women in their journeys to:
- Heal from racial and gender-based trauma
- Discover their authentic voice
- Recognize and overcome internalized misogyny
- Shift self-criticism and self-judgment into curiosity and hope
- Practice radical acceptance and attain personal liberation
