Tending the Healer

Mentorship for the Ones Who Hold It All

Why I Created These Spaces

I wanted a space that feels sacred, special, and soft—for the folks who spend their lives holding, helping, and healing others. These spaces are rooted in my values as a liberationist, anti-capitalist, and harm reductionist. They’re decolonized, anti-oppressive, and centered on care.

We welcome neurodivergent participants and offer flexibility with camera use and processing styles.

Benefits of Joining:

  • Relief from the pressure to perform competence in isolation

  • Permission to examine the systems and structures exhausting them, not just their personal coping

  • Tools to reconnect with why you chose this work without being guilted back into over-giving

  • Practical frameworks to understand your parts that over-function, collapse, or dissociate

  • A container that models reciprocal care and intentional tending

  • Space to grieve the weight of this work

  • Belonging with people who understand the particular isolation of holding others' pain for a living

  • To rediscover themselves as someone worthy of the same quality of care they extend daily

  • To stay in this field on their own terms, with integrity intact

  • To leave transformed in their relationship to themselves, their clients, and the profession

What Is Mentorship?

What is Mentorship (in an anti-colonial lens)?
It is relational stewardship—a mutual exchange rooted in care, dignity, and collective wisdom.
It honors that we each carry insight, and that learning happens through connection, conversation, and lived experience. Mentorship is about growing alongside one another, not being shaped into someone else’s image.

In my Tending the Healer Mentorship, we:

  • Prioritize restorative connection and human-centered care

  • Hold space for complexity, identity, embodiment, grief, and truth

  • Share resources with one another

  • Witness and allow ourselves to be witnessed

  • Discuss how we’re holding grief, navigating systemic barriers, oppression, and stuckpoints

Most importantly: this is a relational space. My hope is that we connect on more than just work, and that you receive mentorship that supports who you are, not just what you do.

What’s included:

  • A consistent small group of 8 people

  • Monthly 90-minute virtual sessions over 4 months

  • Investment $390, may be split into two payments.

  • Optional 1:1 mentorship sessions ($95 per 50 minutes)

  • A shared commitment to healing-centered, anti-oppressive practice

What this is not:

  • Not therapy

  • Not clinical supervision

  • Not a space to perform or present your credentials

After registration, you’ll receive a welcome email with your group agreement, Zoom link, and pre-session reflection prompts.

2026 Tending The Healer

Starts April 21, 2026 2pm-3:30PM EST

A Liberatory, Queer-Led Space for Clinicians to Grow, Grieve, and Be Held

Whether you are a new clinician finding your footing or a seasoned practitioner navigating the weight of this work, you deserve a space that centers your humanity—not just your professional identity. The 2026 Mentorship Pod is a 4-month, small-group experience designed to support the parts of you that are navigating grief, burnout, identity, and the evolving landscape of private practice. Together, we will explore how to stay rooted in integrity, liberation, and community while doing work that demands so much of our hearts. This pod is LGBTQIA-led, neuroexpansive-led, and intentionally crafted to be welcoming to all mental health professionals committed to decolonizing their work and tending to their own systems.

What We Will Explore Together

Over four 90-minute monthly sessions, we will

  • Tend to grief and burnout in the healing professions; understanding the parts carrying exhaustion, loneliness, overwork, or overwhelm and how to care for them with compassion and intuition.

  • Explore decolonizing the work we do by examining liberatory, anti-oppressive frameworks that honor ancestral wisdom, community care, and embodied ways of knowing.

  • Discuss private practice, career, and business sustainability with honest conversations about money, structure, boundaries, marketing, clinical identity, and the choices that keep your practice aligned with your values.

  • Support clinicians in marketing and event planning through guidance for workshops, groups, writing, speaking, and community offerings so your work reaches the people it is meant for.

  • Each session includes community care, Q&A, and resource sharing, creating opportunities for ongoing connection.

Dates

We will meet virtually on the following dates:


April 21st, 2026 from 2:00 PM–3:30 PM EST
May 19th, 2026

July 21st, 2026

Group Structure

We meet virtually, monthly for four sessions. Each session is 90 minutes. Group size is intentionally limited to 8 participants to ensure depth, connection, and individualized support.

Who This Is For

It is an LGBTQIA-led and neuroexpansive-led space open to all mental health professionals who want to decolonize their work, explore their clinical identity, and receive support around private practice, purpose, and sustainability. Clinicians exploring expansion in their career, marketing, creative offerings, or trauma-informed community work will find this space especially beneficial.
