Healing that Honors Your Story and Your Roots.

We specialize in supporting BIPOC women and families who feel stuck in cycles of stress, tension, and self-doubt—helping them reconnect with their bodies, strengthen relationships, and build sustainable coping tools through holistic therapy that honors inner wisdom and cultural roots.

Dandelions are often dismissed as weeds, yet they are among the first to bloom, resilient, and rooted in strength. They are powerful, complex, and often underestimated- like so many of us.

Step into a space where your story is honored and your healing is guided.
