OYA Support & Empowerment Circle

"Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation which is not nurturing to the whole woman." ~ Maya Angelou
Have you been wondering about embarking on a new path? Sick and tired of being sick and tired and overwhelmed. Ready to level up your emotional, mental and social health? If you're on this page…I would say that’s a YESSSS!
The OYA Support and Empowerment Circle is more than a *therapeutic group. It is a supportive community and judgment-free space cultivated for women of the African Diaspora to share common (and uncommon) experiences and heal as a sisterhood and feel empowered. The support group is inspired by the Nigerian (Yourba) orisha Oya which symbolizes transformation, rebirth, womanhood, navigating challenges and embracing change. The community is a space for you to be free to work on yourself, learn from your sisters, and know that you are not alone. The virtual group is facilitated by a qualified mental health provider to ensure you receive any additional support needed. So to all my entrepreneurs, corporate baddies, healthcare divas, educators, creatives, introverts, blerds, community leaders, spiritual leaders, wives, mothers, aunties, college students, recent college grads…this space is for you.

*Although the group is therapeutic in nature, it is not a substitute for clinical mental health services and the facilitator is not your psychotherapist. If you are in need of further mental health care, you reach out to The SHIFT Mental Wellness at admin@theshiftmentalwellness.com.

The ONLY exception is I am a mandated reporter which means if you want to hurt yourself, hurt someone in a vulnerable population, I will have to let appropriate agencies know to ensure everyone is safe.
