Rooted in Sisterhood.
Growing Together.
At Roots of Healing Wellness, we believe wellness is more than the absence of illness—it's the presence of connection, purpose, belonging, growth, and joy.
We are a women-centered community rooted in Black culture, created for women seeking genuine friendship, sisterhood, and a place to belong. Our mission is to improve quality of life by creating opportunities for women to thrive together — through meaningful relationships, shared experiences, and spaces where they are truly seen.
Roots of Healing Wellness brings women together through culturally meaningful experiences that nurture the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Through community gatherings, storytelling, movement, nature, creative expression, conversations, and shared moments. We cultivate a sisterhood where women can learn, connect, contribute, navigate life’s challenges, and flourish—together.
While healing is an important part of wellness, it is only one part of the journey. We believe wellness also includes celebrating, creating, resting, learning, serving, laughing, and building friendships that enrich everyday life.
Our work is especially dedicated to strengthening Black women in New Orleans and surrounding communities, while welcoming anyone who shares our vision of cultivating healthier lives through connection, culture, and community.
"When women flourish, communities flourish. When communities flourish, future generations inherit something stronger than what came before."
For us, getting back to our roots means remembering that life was never meant to be lived in isolation. It is meant to be shared—with women who celebrate our successes, support us through challenges, inspire our growth, and help us cultivate a richer quality of life. That is the kind of sisterhood we're building at Roots.
How We Grow Together
Wellness isn't a destination—it's a lifelong journey of growth, connection, and purpose.
At Roots of Healing Wellness, we create opportunities for women to build richer, healthier, and more meaningful lives. Through shared experiences, lifelong learning, cultural connection, movement, creativity, service, and sisterhood, we cultivate the conditions that help women thrive.
Whether you're seeking friendship, personal growth, or simply a place to belong, you'll find a community that believes wellness is strengthened when we grow together.
🌿 Wellness & Well-Being
Wellness doesn't have to happen alone. Through movement, reflection, rest, creativity, and shared experiences, we create space for women to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and care for their well-being — together.
🤎 Connection & Belonging
Finding your people as an adult isn't always easy. Roots creates intentional opportunities for women to meet, build genuine friendships, share experiences, explore their city, and develop the kind of relationships that make life feel a little fuller.
🌍 Culture & Community
Our wellness is connected to the communities and cultures that shape us. Through storytelling, cultural experiences, community education, service, and meaningful conversations, we create opportunities for women to stay connected to where they come from while contributing to the communities around them.
A Place to Belong
Roots of Healing Wellness is home to a growing sisterhood designed to meet women in different seasons of life.
As Roots continues to grow, so will the opportunities for women of all ages to find a place where they belong.
What Is a Community Wellness Organization?
Building healthier communities through connection, belonging, and purpose.
When most people hear the word wellness, they think of yoga classes, green smoothies, meditation apps, or fitness programs. While those things certainly have their place, they represent only one small part of what it means to truly live well.
At Roots of Healing Wellness, we believe wellness is much bigger. It isn't simply about improving one person's health—it is about creating communities where people can thrive together.
What if wellness wasn't just something we practiced individually? What if it became something we built collectively?
A Community Wellness Organization exists to strengthen the health, connection, and quality of life of women and neighborhoods by creating spaces, programs, relationships, and resources that help people thrive together.
The Six Pillars of Community Wellness
Connection
Healthy communities begin with healthy relationships. We create opportunities for people to gather, build friendships, and discover they are not alone.
Personal Well-being
Wellness starts within. Mindfulness, movement, reflection, and lifelong learning contribute to living healthier, more balanced lives.
Learning
Knowledge empowers people. Accessible education creates lasting change that extends beyond any single event.
Culture and Identity
Culture connects us to our stories, our traditions, and one another. Our heritage is something to build upon.
Community Care
Sometimes wellness begins with meeting immediate needs. Caring for one another strengthens the fabric of a community.
Purpose and Service
Communities flourish when people move from receiving support to becoming leaders, mentors, and advocates for others.
The Roots Philosophy
