We're Here To Help
We strive to build healthier families who are not receiving the care they deserve or need. Our services are focused on programs that provide support and healing groups (teaching skills on how to address stress and foster open communication without judgment), fitness, and stress-relieving exercises for mothers. We provide access to clean, healthy nutritious foods and educate the entire family on the importance of living a healthy lifestyle that supports themselves and their babies.
Wellness Choice supports holistic health and encourages eating habits that align with black moms and their lifestyles.

Nutrition
​What you eat each day affects your health and how you feel now and in the future. Good nutrition plays a major role in helping you lead a healthy lifestyle. When combined with physical activity, your diet can help you reach and maintain a healthy weight and reduce your risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, and promote overall health and wellbeing.
Massage Therapy
When it comes to your body and your health, the benefits of massage are wide-reaching. Whether you’re an athlete, an expectant mother, or a post-operative patient, massage can help relieve stress, decrease muscle tension and stimulates the release of endorphins that work as your body’s natural pain killer.
