Healing, Reimagined: Current Therapy & Wellness Offerings

Somatic Therapy

Our Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) and Somatic-Based Therapy services provide a holistic, culturally affirming space for Black women to release stored stress, process trauma, and cultivate a deeper mind-body connection.

What is Dance/Movement Therapy?

Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that integrates movement, breath, and embodied expression to support emotional, mental, and physical well-being. It allows you to express what words cannot, release tension, and develop a renewed sense of balance. Whether through guided movement, improvisation, or structured exercises, D/MT helps you reconnect with your body’s innate ability to heal.

What is Somatic-Based Therapy?

Somatic-Based Therapy focuses on the connection between the mind and body, helping you recognize and release trauma held in the nervous system. Through techniques such as breathwork, grounding, and gentle movement, this approach fosters self-awareness and emotional regulation, empowering you to move through life with more ease and resilience.

“Yemaya Wellness Center is a sanctuary for high-functioning Black women navigating trauma, burnout, and the Superwoman Schema. Through culturally affirming therapy, movement, and community, we help you reclaim joy, set boundaries, and thrive unapologetically.”
