“Healing happens in community.”
Our Rehumanizing events and outdoor wellness gatherings offer a space to pause, reconnect, and recharge with like-minded women. Through guided movement, R&B soul music, art making, journaling, and creative expression, we create a sanctuary for Black women to process emotions, find support, and rediscover joy.
Donation-Based Accessibility – We believe healing should be available to all, so our events offer a welcoming, low-barrier way to engage in self-care.
Our Story
The heart behind Yemaya Wellness Center
Jasmine Dowery R-D/MT, LMHC
Welcome to your space for healing. Welcome home.
Rooted in cultural affirmation and deep emotional restoration, this boutique-style virtual private practice offers a refined and intentional approach to mental health, blending traditional therapy with embodied healing practices.
The name Yemaya is no coincidence. In Yoruba tradition, Yemaya is the orisha of the ocean, the divine mother, and a protector of women—symbolizing both boundless strength and deep emotional depth. Just as the ocean both nurtures and cleanses, Yemaya Wellness Center serves as a space where Black women can release, restore, and rise, free from the weight of perfectionism and past wounds.
Founded by Jasmine Dowery, LMHC, a licensed therapist and registered dance/movement therapist, Yemaya Wellness Center was created with a singular purpose: to provide culturally attuned, sophisticated, and soul-deep therapeutic experiences that honor the complexities of Black womanhood. Jasmine understands firsthand the resilience required to navigate high-performance environments while carrying unspoken emotional burdens. Through Yemaya Wellness Center, she dreams of a space that guides clients in breaking generational cycles, setting firm yet loving boundaries, and cultivating joy without guilt.
At Yemaya Wellness Center, therapy is more than talk, it’s transformation. It’s movement, expression, and liberation. It’s an invitation to exhale, to unlearn, and to step fully into the softness and sovereignty Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color (BIPOC) deserve.
