Why Community Connection Matters

We are in the business of supporting women over the aged 50+ their families and carers.

“Black women are often underrepresented in large-scale quantitative datasets, the most "accurate" identification of their needs is currently found in qualitative, interview-based research conducted by London universities

(ref: UCL, King’s College London, and Queen Mary).”

Introduction

Everyone wants to feel good, alive and full of energy.  And everyone wants to realize their full potential.  But making change in our lives is difficult; good intentions often pave the road to everything staying the same.  There are so many competing voices and systems about what to eat, how to attract healing and health, and how to set personal goals and achieve them.  On our own, without guidance and personalized support, we’re uncertain and overwhelmed and unlikely to make significant and lasting change.

“Social connection is a fundamental pillar of mental health. Having strong social ties acts as a buffer against stress”

We recognized the need women have for wellness and personal development support and created our organisation to fill it.  We would like our role to help women move from "vulnerability" to "resilience" or "self-sufficiency."

We work with counsellors and coaches experienced and deeply knowledgeable about all aspects of holistic wellness.  We specialize in meeting every client where she starts from supporting their need to articulate their own wellness goals and personal development aspirations. 

Mental Health, Nutrition, Physical Activity

While holistic practice and healing is timeless, we are also well adapted to life in the 21st Century. 

We leverage a variety of network effects to maximize our productivity and increase the value we provide our clients.  We maintain relationships with individuals, non-profits, charities, and other organisations to create robust cross-referrals opportunities.  And every client we work with has complete access to our extensive network of wellness and personal development resources, including counselling and mentoring services. 

The personal relationship is central to our support network. By fostering a space of trust and mutual respect, the coach can accurately assess the unique needs of the individual, thereby ensuring that the resources provided—whether they be psychological techniques, skill-building exercises, or networking opportunities—are precisely aligned with the client’s goals

Being in the business of supporting wellness and self-development means that we are instrumental in increasing self-esteem, vitality, relationship, career success, physical, mental and emotional health. 

“The human spirit is defined by a constant pursuit of self-improvement; as long as people strive to become their best selves, there will always be a meaningful place for our work.”

The Synergi Collaborative Centre: This is a major research hub based in London (Queen Mary University of London). Their reports, such as "Ethnic Inequalities in Mental Health" (2020), provide data on how Black women in London experience higher rates of detention under the Mental Health Act and lower rates of access to talking therapies (IAPT).
