About Us
Mission
Earnest engagement with holistic practices of care and inquiry can move us toward a better world. Kaafi Wellness provides holistic healing and well-being services. We provide compassionate care to those in helping professions, activists, organizers, parents, and artists. Through our services, we offer a soft place to land and the resources needed to gain strength and to learn skills towards personal and community transformation.
Vision
To create a community of skilled healing and well-being practitioners to support the global movement toward liberation.
Values
At Kaafi Wellness we believe that healing happens in relationship. To grow toward a society that is better for all of us we must cultivate skills of awareness and skills of loving.
We must re-member our relationship to our bodies, to each other’s bodies, and to the land. Earnest engagement with holistic practices of care and inquiry can move us toward a better world.
We practice a politicized approach to wellness in which we recognize the historical, social, and inter-personal forces that shape our reality. As practitioners and administrators, we assess our own experiences and positions and we consistently reflect on our actions and adjust our path to stay aligned with our values.
We believe quality care should be accessible and we create structures, like sliding scale fees, affinity practice groups, and movement modifications, to ensure it is so.
