We Want Wellness was created from a simple but powerful belief: when people have access to culturally grounded, community-centered wellness, they transform—personally, professionally, and collectively. What started as a healing response has grown into a movement that supports educators, women, and community leaders through intentional experiences rooted in care, creativity, and culture.

 

Our work lives at the intersection of wellness, literacy, identity, and justice. We create spaces where people can breathe, learn, grieve, restore, stretch, and build. We partner with schools, organizations, and local brands to design experiences that honor the fullness of who we are.

 

This is our journey.

 

Where we’ve been. Where we are. And where we’re going. 

 

Where We've Been

We Want Wellness has spent the last few years doing what we do best—building intentional spaces for restoration, learning, and community.

We’ve led customized professional developments for teacher-prep programs in Boston and facilitated holistic trainings for social workers here in DC. Our work continues to meet educators, school teams, and community organizations where they are, helping them integrate wellness, literacy, and culture into their practice in real and sustainable ways.

We’ve also been curating our own experiences and collaborating with local brands who share our values.
Through partnerships with Work Fitness Studio, CO 1 Atelier, Uplift Yoga Studio, Sukha Center Certified Official, Graceland Therapeutics, Enliven Natural Healing, Carroll Cares: Research and Education Group, Black Girls Counsel Too, The J Doctrine, Fabletics, Black Folxs Wellness Collective, Boston Plan for Excellence, and Catholic Charities USA, we’ve expanded what wellness can look and feel like in community.

Float: A Cannabis + Yoga Experience grew from this same spirit of collaboration—created with a local dispensary and grounded in safety, consent, and community care.

At CO Atelier, we hosted weekly yoga classes taught by multiple instructors, offering women and community members a consistent wellness home. Digitally, we’ve offered series centered on safety, work-life balance, therapy access, mental health awareness, grief, affirmations, and more—because wellness isn’t one-dimensional and neither are the women we serve.

We’ve hosted women’s wellness challenges, sat on Black History Month panels, created Grief Club for those navigating loss, and even hired and staffed one of Maryland’s leading personal training gyms to expand access to movement-based wellness across the region.

Everything we’ve done has been rooted in the same belief:
wellness should feel accessible, culturally grounded, and deeply human.

This is where we’ve been—and we’re only getting started.

​

Where We Are 

Right now, We Want Wellness is in a season of refinement, expansion, and alignment.
We’re strengthening our core offerings so every workshop, class, and partnership reflects our commitment to culturally responsive, trauma-informed wellness for Black women, educators, and community leaders.

We are continuing to provide specialized professional development for school teams, nonprofits, community organizations, and corporate spaces—each one blending wellness, literacy, identity, and culture. Our work remains grounded in evidence-based practice and shaped by lived experience.

Our yoga programming is growing with intention. We’re offering inclusive yoga classes designed specifically for women in finance, creatives, and corporate teams who want a space to breathe, release, and reconnect. Our classes center safety, consent, joy, and the complexity of being a woman navigating high-demand environments.

We are also investing deeply in the Wellness Collective, empowering youth through long-distance running, yoga, and swimming. This work is creating a blueprint for holistic student wellness rooted in movement, discipline, healing, and community.

Across everything, our focus remains the same:
to make wellness feel like home, not a luxury

​

Where We’re Going

We Want Wellness is stepping into a new chapter—one grounded in vision, sustainability, and legacy.

We are expanding our consulting wing to bring wellness-centered professional learning to more school districts, nonprofits, and companies across the country. Our aim is to reshape how institutions understand wellness—not as an add-on, but as a foundation.

We are building more signature experiences, including seasonal retreats for educators and women leaders, advanced yoga workshops, and creative healing spaces that honor culture, identity, and community.

Float will continue to evolve into a full multi-sensory wellness experience, with plans to partner with additional local brands, mental health professionals, and creative practitioners.

Digitally, we will be expanding our series on mental health, grief, safety, relationships, work-life balance, and community healing—making these conversations more accessible for women everywhere.

We are also laying the groundwork for a physical home for We Want Wellness:
a space where yoga, therapy, movement, creativity, sisterhood, and community care can coexist under one roof.

And most importantly, we’re preparing to train and build a network of wellness practitioners, instructors, and facilitators who share our mission—ensuring that culturally grounded, human-centered wellness reaches more people than ever before.

The future of We Want Wellness is clear, intentional, and expansive.
We’re building a movement, not just a brand.

Our Promise

We will continue to create spaces that honor:

• Black and Brown youth

• Black educators

• Women of color

• The grieving, the growing, the healing

• Those who are ready to stand in their power

We Want Wellness is not just a brand — it is a movement, a community, a way of being.
