A Note from WSHI's Founder

 At WSHI, we understand the relationship between one's WHOLE-Self healing and sexual well-being.  Research shows time and time again to experience pleasure, sexually and non-sexually, we require safety, self-trust, and vulnerability without emotional, somatic, or erotic distress. Having a self-assured and empowered relationship to safety and pleasure is informed by our own unique set of lived experiences, sexual and non-sexual, in addition to, desirable and traumatic.  Our lived experience is informed and  impacted our physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, metaphysical, and sexual well-being- your WHOLE-Self.  

You are WHOLE.

Trauma disrupts the connection to our wholeness.

I personally know this truth. As a Black femme survivor of the complex trauma with multiple core wounds from my childhood and adulthood and after reclaiming my HEALING NARRATIVE, I AM THRIVING.

As a result of my healing, I realize I AM WHOLE and was already WHOLE.  In this part of my healing journey, I have reclaimed that wholeness. 

Today, I embody wholeness. I am a WHOLE-Self healer. The path of my WHOLE-Self Healing was Healing The Erotic Self.

This path informs my post-traumatic healing and growth, personally and professionally.  Personally and professionally, WSHI wants to support you in your post-traumatic healing and growth.

Using the care strategies mindfulness, gentle movement, erotic affirmations, meditation, story-telling, breathwork and energy work, WSHI will guide you in creating your healing narratives, identify your healing themes informed by your erotic lived experience. This will allow you to center yourself and curate a liberating journey towards your sexual healing and sexual liberation, your sexual well-being. 

WSHI's professional learning intensives and retreats will also allow healing professionals to challenge their biases and understanding about the erotic-both sexual and non-sexual, in addition to, who is "allowed" to be sexual. More importantly, these offerings will provide a healing-justice approach and framework that establishes trauma-informed safety to create space for change and transformation in both your personal and professional healing. 

Thank you for being part of this healing community. I look forward to supporting and building community with you.
