Wellness & Self-Care
Sex-positive therapy, somatic practices, and inclusive healing spaces
Mainstream wellness can feel exclusionary, rooted in white, cisgender, abled bodies and a narrow definition of health. This category is for the other kind: practitioners and spaces grounded in anti-racist, trauma-informed, and body-positive frameworks. We look for real evidence of that commitment in how each listing describes its own approach, based on what's publicly available.
