our journey
the shift from overwhelm is often mired in a lack of clarity. clarity is challenging to find when there is a clamor of inauthentic narratives surrounding you. gaining clarity is rarely solved with a single moment of focus. clarity is found when we clear the external noise and learn to listen to the only voice that matter - yours.
​
get clear, find your voice, and harness your power to achieve the outcomes you desire. this is the healed body journey. it's probably not too far off from your personal story.
mission
we believe burnout is a direct result of workplace trauma. our mission is to banish the psychological and physiological impact of workplace trauma for women of the global majority by providing an offering of products and practices that aid in the reclamation and ownership of healing.
vision
healed body will serve as the connection point for various healing and spiritual modalities in support of life's work. healed body will be a global embodiment platform centering humans of the diaspora with an expanded focus on equitable distribution of somatic practices.

the land of overwhelm
by noon, i was already on my sixth conference call, and third cup of coffee.
having started the day around 4 a.m. my workday stretched endlessly, often ending at 8 p.m. each call shared the same topics - outcomes, objectives, KPIs - it was all starting to sound like noise. i was falling out of love with the career I had once chased so fiercely. my productivity plummeted, and my health followed suit—more hair ended up on the floor than on my head, and my eczema flared constantly. the future i once saw so clearly now felt terrifyingly uncertain, and all I wanted to do was scream, “idgaf!". i was trapped in a glass house of my own making, with no idea how to escape.
searching
i cannot tell you what i was searching for, i just remember wanting out. i thought about selling everything and becoming a nomad, a barista, anything that would encourage my love of travel, food and culture, anything to get out of the land of overwhelm. my searching led me to many truths, but one stuck. running is not the answer. the answer exists within.
the spark
the journey of exploration illuminated a few things:
-
our skin and our soul share an inextricable bond. ​
-
the escape is less about running and more about a release.
-
my personal healing journey is unique and shared.
sharing this knowledge with Tamara, she prompted - or should i say strongly encouraged - to share my practices and products with the world.
the dream
in the immortal words of biggie, 'it was all a dream'. and for me, it really was. as i slumbered with the idea of healing, skin and the workplace, the name healed body emerged. the intersectionality of it all was not clear at first and then as i moved forward with purpose and curiosity, i developed a framework to be leveraged by anyone experiencing workplace trauma.
