The WHOLE-Self Healing Institute, Inc. (TWSHI) was created as a sacred space providing comprehensive, trauma-informed, & healing-centered life group coaching, erotic coaching, hypnotherapy, & retreats centering queer & non-queer Black & of Color women, femmes, & ENBY folks' sexual & WHOLE-Self healing and wellness.
To support the post-traumatic growth and healing of Black women, & Women of Color by creating and curating healing spaces and programming that honors and improves one'srelationship with their mind, body, spirit. By centering the one's healing narrative & with the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), TWSHI challenges sex-negative and harmful societal & sexual assumptions and expectations (i.e. TheDefaults) which has historically and contemporarily oppressed one's sexual agency and sexual autonomy, their human sexuality, access to comprehensive sexuality education, and support for their sexual healing & overall WHOLE-Self healing.
Honoring the relationship between mind, body, & spirit, TWSHI reclaims honors and reclaims the sacred relationship between sexuality and spirituality, the indigenous healing practices rooted from African (Continental and Disaporic), Turtle Island, East Asian, and South Asian and Pacific cultures, in addition to narratives of our bodily autonomy and healing. This reclamation allows for an empowered, pleasure-filled and unadshamed relationship with Self and embodiment of desirability, pleasure, power, healing, and wellness. While we center the erotic lived experience of Black and of Color women, femmes, and non-binary folks- our services and support those who want to reclaim their relationship to their Self, their intutition, for the purpose of their sexual and WHOLE-Self healing.
We are a collective of sexologists. -therapists, educatiors, researcher, coaches, & healers with over 35 years of combined experience creating, curating, and faciliating sacard spaces for personal healing and professional growth with coaching, consultations, workshops and training, and healing retreats. Members also have special access to The Healing Space, TWSHI's Wellness Bed and Breakfast located in the beautiful Republica Dominicana.
Pleasure-activism is not just wordplay. It is how we live and what we embody. Pleasure is our birthright and we are here to reclaim it.
Joy is the secret sauce to the resiliency of Black and oppressed people-worldview. When examined in queer culture, joy is tranformational for both the mind and the body. We tap into joy as our north star in the journey of healing.
We don't heal alone. Healing is individually driven and community supported. Creating community honors intuitive, generational, and ancestral wisdom. All are central to healing. The communal healing is critical to one’s ability to thrive.
Love & relationship styles vary- whether you are monogamous or non-monogamous, we honor how you love and what is need to keep the intimacy of that love.
Trauma impacts our ability to trust and be vulnerable. In our work of establishing safety for the practice of radical honesty & authencity, we provide safer spaces for clients to process their truth and vulnerability while improving their relationship to their intuition.
Mind-body-spirit insight and awareness enhances the experience of sexual and non-sexual pleasure. Our focus of integrating the erotic or the energy of desirability with nurturing mind-body, body-based, and energy practices are foundational to healing AND thriving.
