Therapeutically Crafted™
You are not the problem. The pressure is. A creative wellness space for women of color to explore, reflect, and reconnect.
ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
You’ve been holding a lot… and still showing up like everything is fine. You are not the problem. The pressure is.
Therapeutically Crafted™ is a six-month, in-person creative wellness experience for women of color designed to explore how perfectionism shapes the way we create, connect, and show up in our lives.
Through hands-on crafting, reflective writing, and guided community conversation, each session creates space to build self-compassion, deepen emotional awareness, and develop a new relationship with expectations… your own and everyone else’s. This is not a class. This is not therapy. This is a community of women doing the slow, meaningful work of letting go of the pressure to be perfect… together.
You don’t have to come in ready.
You can come exactly as you are.
