Hey Beautiful! When I decided I wanted to be a Marriage Family Therapist, I knew I wanted one of my areas of specialty to be sexuality, for several reasons. I’ve always found sexuality to be an interesting part of the human experience. However, it often feels unnecessarily complicated. It’s a topic that society says is taboo, yet daily exposed to it. 

In my over 15 years of experience as a therapist, I’ve had the opportunity to work through my own complicatedness of sexuality. This includes struggling with the concept of being a “good girl”, sexuality and the church, having curves at a young age, “managing my sexiness”, etc etc. This motivated me even more to become a Certified Sex Coach and Certified Sexologist. 

I enjoy assisting others in navigating through their own journeys of sexuality. This is one of the reasons why I’m super excited about you joining me on this retreat.  I know firsthand, how the journey can look and want to assist in the process. I’m looking forward to seeing the changes in you throughout this experience, because you won’t leave the same.

Ekomie

Yoga Instructor-HealingHippie

My name is Ekomie and a 27 years old mother of two boys. I’ve been handcrafting crystals and gem wrapping jewelry for six years and am self-taught. My favorite pieces are custom, so I can mold pieces to your energetic needs. I am also a yogi. My yoga journey began in early 2019 when I became pregnant with my oldest son. It’s since become one of my passions. Other passions include educating others on things like: natural home births, breast feeding, prenatal yoga, and holistic womb health. I believe in building a tribe and community of women who feel supported in black motherhood. A tribe that supports healing our generational trauma, to stop passing them down to our little ones. True healing within our community, starts with the mother, it begins at home.
